Baggin my first Truck

click on any of the links on ssd.com's page. on the right hand side there were be a build your own custom kit link.once you do that you'll need to pick out a four link. my buddy got his with the air zenith, 5 gal chrome tank,smc's 1/2 valves, 4 slam's bags, 7 switch AVS locking swithbox, 50ft 1/2 air line,50 ft 1/4 air line,3 gauges, torsion bag brackets, triagular notch,super lift 4-link and we upgraded the lower bag mounts for the bars to the square type far around $1800 shipped.

I did the back first. Why? i found better pictures of the back. your lower bars need to be parallel at ride heigth, and the bag need to fully compress when laid out. Don't forget about your pinion angle, it needs to stay around -3 to -1 (someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong here)a $10 angle finder will be your best friend.

the front wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. You have to cut the shockmount away and that leaves a hole in the lower part of the frame you need to fill. The LCA needs to be trimmed also, and relocating(flipping) your ball joints will help.

remember:NO RUBS!!!bags, wheels, tires,air line on sharp sheet metal.

take your time and have fun.if you get mad STOP. There's always tomarrow.

NATHN (KAOSS) I sent ya an Email..

Ok I'm going to go with SD's custom air ride kit. Should I go with two compressors? two tanks? I think Im going to go with the Slam specilaties 8" HD/ RD bags Am I going to need a water trap? And what pressure switch do I need? Sorry for all the questions

i would get 2 viair 380s or 450s or 1 air zenith. 1 5-7 gallon tank should be fine. don't really need the water trap, but it's only like 40 bucks. i'd get the 200psi adjustable pressure switch.

also, where do you see the slam hd/rd bags? the re200 bags will work good.

^^^my 2 brown coins...

dont be sorry for asking questions if you dont know, its the best way to learn and if someone puts you down for asking then F*ck them! but yea back to yoru question, you dont have to run a water trap, its best to run one though, any pressure switch you want to use is fine, a lot of people like the adjustable switches so you can adjust the pressure to whatever you want,SD.com sells these for a good price. for the 2 compressors 2 tanks thing, you can if you want, i think a 2 tank set-up is SICK.

ooh, you'll need check valves. one for each line that enters a valve of the tank. if you have one line going to all your valves, then you would need one ect...

what is the point of the water trap?

when air is compressed it gets hot and collects moisture which can settle in your tank and rust it out from the inside, it can also fuck up valves and corrode bags over time. you can get a water trap from home depot for well under 30 and they work fine.

he doesnt have to have them.. i dont, no one i know does, no problems.. if you do it right you'll never have any problems.. that shit gets expensive too at 24 bucks per check valve.

the 8" bags you're getting are too big.. for your mazda you'll want RE 6 bags up front unless you wanna do a lot of fabbing to get em in.

k so someone toss up a good list of what would be ideal from sd.com
