Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches South Central I will be on air soon

I just bought a bunch of stuff for my air ride setup on my truck. I got a nitrogen tank and pressure regulator, all the valves and switchs all the fittings and the airline. all I have left to buy is the firestone airbags a belltech flip kit and the brackets for the bags. so all and all about $400 more and I am there.

Sweet! A few buddies of mine have bagged trucks, I want to get one so bad.

What kind of truck do you have? Are you doing a 4 link?

I have an 01 chevy silverado ext cab. I am going to get around to the 4 link but not just yet

Cool, what other plans you got for it?

C-man-

I am going on air too

What are you using for the switchbox? Mine's hella cool

What size is your air tank?

bags are fun, just dont get too much bounce goin on

I am not running air I am running nitrogen. your running cylinders on yours arent you? I am running 2600lbs bags all the way around laying the frame about an inch off the ground just incase I bust a line

I think I am going with cylinders in the front and bags in the back. Havent really decided. Brackets and the actuall bags and cylinders come last for me to buy

Nitrogen? Isn't that stuff quick when you raise it and lower it? Faster than air and hydros? Or about the same as Hydros? Does it depend on the size valves?

I have 5/8th valves and yes nitrogen is a lot faster then air. Its a lot more expensive as well. I will be running air as well but I am doing the nitrogen stuff first then I will set it up with air too. I made my brackets out of steel. we got a new mig welder and it saved me a ton of money. The brackets are about $65 each if you buy them and these cost me about $35 and 4 hours worth of work total for all of them. I only need the bags and a flip kit and I have it all. I used a bag my friend had to design my bags. I dont know about cylinders but if you use bags in the bag I suggest that you go with firestone bags. Are you doing a 10 switch setup? what size valves are you using? Do you know how much PSI it will take to lift the front up? I think its gonna take me about 90-100 psi just to lift the front and prolly 160-180psi to get a good hop.
