    2 400c compressors not 1 the 400c put out way more than the 450 screw the duty cycle.
    2 5 gallon tanks
    slam bags in the front no shocks unless you really want them
    stainless tanks no rust
    no water traps.
    I would put eight valves on the car unless you have some hellufied swaybars.
    jus my .02 ive bagged mucho rides homes.
    If you cant afford it dont run the extra compressor and tank you can add it later.
    definately spend the money and put slam bags in the front
    I dont know how many rides ive redone becouse someone was tryin to save 50.00 end up buyin the good stuff in the end and spendin more.

    make sure all the lines are the same length especially after the valve ,left to right if one is longer it will not sit level unless its aired all the way up. make sure your bag cups are the same size and then shim acordingly as needed. are you running a sway bar? make sure at the same pressure your left and right is at the same height, if it is not shim accordingly. This should solve all problems.

    yes. slam bags require less pressure and volume for the same amount of lift. They have 3 lines of bags there best one has a 600 psi rating and is made with kevlar. They do not bulge out like firestones so they will not have interfenence problems due to ballooning you dont really need them in the rear becouse theres no weight there but I get an average of 13 inches of lift out of them in the front when installed properly and they ride good a bit more firm than the firestone you can get away with no shocks but on studderbumps you will get a little wheel bounce you definately need shocks in the rear no matter what.

    Regardless of air bag material, don't you still need shock absorbers to keep the air bag (spring) from bouncing wildly. On another note, wouldn't a tapered sleeve ride and handle better in the back, especially if retaining the leaf spring design.

    when you corner, the air transfers from one bag to the other... feels goofy... regardless, a sway bar will help a bunch.... even with seperate valves. On a solid axle rear, it doesn't matter so much... Independant, it does.

    you want to run shocks... no matter what bags you decide on.

    Nic... who cares what it looks like when its up?!?!?!!!!

    Lower it till it drags... then let the rest of the air out.

    :D
