ok i did a little search and didnt come up with much... but if you find something please let me know

heres my question... im thinking of doing bags... and buying the fronts... then down the road the rears... but can i put em in and manually put air in and outta them without a compressor and tank... i dont really wanna buy all of that stuff untill ive got all the bags... kinda a stupid question i know... but im tight for money... and bags is the way imma go...

thanks guys...

I don't get your thought process here, but yes, you can buy the fittings and run both the lines into a block with an inflation valve so you could air/deflate just as you would a tire.

We did this with my buddie's setup on all 4 corners until he got his management finished up.

so basically you want your bags to be like air shocks??

what happens if you lookse pressure for some reason??

I suppose it is possible, but not recomended....I would just get the whole kit. Find somewhere that will offer some type of financing for it....

that way you dont have half a kit, with no real adjustability.....

if you are going to piece it together it is going to end up costing you WAY more. Price out a kit from a distributor like A+, knowing that he only really sells the kits, then go to Easystreet, and price out the parts needed to complete your kit. It is at least double what you'd pay.

ok thanks... the reason i ask is because i wanna piece it together... and have it functional... so basically id buy the front bags... hook em up so i could us em manually... buy the rear bags... hook them up too so i could us em manually... then get the compressor and tank and all that good stuff...

but what exactly do i need to run em manually?

if your gonna piece it together wait til you get the complete kit before you install anything.

ya you guys are right... ill either buy it as a kit and install it all at once... or piece it together and wait till ive got everything...

thanks guys... just needed some sense knocked into me...

My fronts are at 35-40 psi at ride height. That gives me an inch at most of wheel gap. So if you do the front then the rears later on, your going to have a massive amount of rake. You could fill to 80-90 psi to try level it out, but you'll bounce all over the place and will be a real @!#$ty ride.

What i did to get my kit was that Jason @ A+ was doing the GP and i used my credit card. This next bill, i will have it 100% paided for.

if it worked for you thats great however i would highly advise from modding your car by using a cc.

the world runs off credit,

if you don't have the funds to pay it off and it is a choice between feeding a baby and air ride, then yes buying it on credit is a bad idea,

but I use my credit card for everything and it gets paid off every month.

if you don't mind paying more for the kit(which when tinkles bought it he likely saved more on the kit then he will pay in interest)

then it is not that bad of an idea.

but you do pay the 19% interest or something like that.

19% ouch



if u want to piece it together, start with yoru tank and compressor first, install all that and then when u had the money for struts u could buy the fronts and have the fronts be fully operationable. or just set the money aside every month and wait till u can buy the whole kit. it will be cheaper buying it as a complete kit unless you really wanna change up allot of things that the kit comes standard with.

I know its not the best idea to buy on a credit card, cuz its easy to get carried away also end up paying more with interest. I normally wouldnt have done it, but with the price i got everything for and having my tax refund, i seemed like the best time. Also my CC is just coming out of the grace period where i had 0% interest. I thought about it for a couple of days to decide if i could work it and if it would be worth it.


btw, I love my bags.

i have a compressor for sale if you need one.

I pieced mine together, Now have over 4k in my air
Bought and Sold EAI Front Cylinders (NEVER AGAIN) $450
Bought Easystreet Frnt Bagstruts $500
Bought AIM Rear Cylinders(and welded them back together (NEVER AGAIN) $300
Bought 4 ViAir 450C Compressors and Blew them (NEVER AGAIN) $600
Bought 4 rebuild kits trying to fix the 450c's $200
Bought 2 ViAir 480c Compressors the second time(good so far) $360
Bought and Sold My first switchbox, now on my second $90
Bought my second air tank $90
Bought AIM 3 way valves first $150
Bought SMC 1/2"Fill and 3/8"Dumps The second time around $360
Bought 50ft of 1/2" air line $35
Bought all Push Loc Fittings the first time $125
Bought all 1/2"Compression fitings (DONT LEAK LIKE PUSH LOC) $150
Not to mention Countless random Fittings, Wiring parts, Guages and other stuff ive spend around $100 on.

So thats right at $3500 when you can get the FULL Easystreet kit from Jason at A+ for around 2k-2200 then upgrade from there.
