budget air bag set up... need help from those who have been there

[panhandler62]

I got stuff from AirRide Tech, ***************** a lost eBay store (it's probably still there.. I just lost track of it) GMC Paul, the 67-72 parts board and Porterbuilt for my setup.

I'm going with a pair of 2600s in back with Porterbuilt's trailing arm setup and a static 5" drop in front using 3" drop spindles and loosing one coil off the stock springs. I got a simple manual valve kit with a small pump and 5 gallon tank to regulate the rear.

The cost for this was just about $2k altogether (about half of that being the new trailing arms/c.member and related.) I'm not done putting it all together but I'm estimating about another $500 or so in bushings, joints and whatnot (lots of little whatnots do add up) to complete the suspension.

I am pretty much replacing the whole suspension though so you can probably get by with less $$$ out front for a similar setup (or swap out the trailing arm kit for front end air components in your budget.)
