    If i only wanted to put the front end of the truck on the ground when parked would it still cost me the same as an entire set up or is it cheaper? Is there any reason this cant be done?

    It would be quite a bit cheaper but you will still need a compressor,air tank,2 bags and valves.you could run 2 valves but I would reccomend 4.The truck will ride better with 1 up and one down valve per wheel.To also do the back you would need 4 more valves,2 bags,some type of 4 link system and a frame notch.Check out www.suicidedoors.com they sell and can make everything you need.

    4 valves is nice. Shared air can be dangerous. You can also isolate the sides with 3 solenoids and check valves.

    Cheaper? yes....but not as much as you think, the main cost resides in the compressors and valves...if you went with slam specialties bags (only reason I use this is cause I know for a fact what they cost cause I just bought 4 of em) it'll save you $150 and another $100 for valves, and bout $50 for mounts (high end) $300 savings....personally I'd just go the whole way....why half ass it (literally)

    Once you do the front I'd put money on the fact that you'll do the back....

    I think someone round here already pointed you towards Kustombuilder here....

    He can save you that coin and still get the full system.
