ok I'm thinking, with very little knowledge about bagged suspentions its cheeper to search and bargin for parts on the net. I had talked to a company, (well 2) and each time they are talking about 10 switch boxes and a 6 gallon air tank and Viair compressore.. It's Like STOP. I'm the customer Should'nt it be I tell them what I want?. Listening to this Forum Page. I'm trying very hard to figure out the parts I need to bag this truck of mine. 72 fleetside shortbox Chevy coils all around. I'm liking this York Compressor thing, But I need alot more Knowledge guys. So can I ask you can You make a Parts list and exactly what each part is for. then I can hopefully put this together..( Sheesh Pictures and now he wants a list? next he will want someone to do all the work for him to) ok guys help me out I would like your feed back. all I want the bagged system to do is lift to drive and lower to park. what does it take and define the parts.

Do you want control of each air bag as a sepearte device. Do you want manual gauge or electronic?? This will make a big diffrence in the price.

yeah, I was just surfin and seen the cost of digital gauges to dial. and if each wheel is controlled do you need 4 valves or eight????. man i feel stupid, but i gotta learn this.

If each wheel is controlled, you will need 8. 1 valve for fill on each bag, 1 valve for dump.

You need 4 bags
Front brackets to mount the bags on your crossmember and lower control arm.
You need mounts for the rear. Shouldnt be too hard to replace coils with bags.
At least 4 Momentary on, off, momentary on switches.
Compressor(s)
Tank(s)
Fittings for valves, tank bags
Wire, Wire, Wire.
Air hose
Pressure Switch to shut off compressor

Welder.
