whats up yall.....does anybody know where i can get a F.B.S.S. air bag kit for my xb for less than $1895.00?? If not, i guess im puttin out the big bucks

 

Brian 2lowxb knows what to get for your box - PM him. I think he said that it would cost $800 if you do it yourself.

 

thats what i was about to type....
around 800-1000

 

yea 2lowxb has done it and it looks great. PM him for all the info on parts.

 

doing side to side is a waste of money unless to redo the whole rear suspension, the xb's rear end won't shift side to side it will just squat down

 

is yours F.B.S.S.??....or did u just do front to back??.....do u know where i could get the kit from??

 

Airbagit.com has kits for the xB. But they're a lil pricey though.

 

...but with fbss..he has more control overall
trust he will regret just getting fb...
lines and fittings leak and thats when the independent control comes into play..
i have a bagged 98 tacoma ... and i know i would have gone crazy if i didn't have independent control of each corner.

 

i got a fullsize chevy with fbss, nitrogen the whole works. my box has f,b it handles fine no body roll. you don't need side to side on the back. when you hit it to the side the back will just squat unless you make the back independent

 

hey i wnna throw in my 2 cents, a buddy of mine has an xb that is bagged in the back only as of right now. just last night we were out cruisin and i told him to just let the air out of one bag, im not sure what you guys are saying by just squat down, but that side lowered why the other stayed high, looked as if it was performing how it should?

 

Having 4 valves in rear for independent control does make a diff.
It is not as noticable due to the straight axle will little articulation,but it is noticable.
The other thing about only using 2 valves in the rear is going around corners.The air from one bag will want to go to the other side when cornering.Lifting that side even more.If you cruised really slow I guess this wouldnt matter much.
When you get the front on and do side to side,the articulation will look greater.
You could use 4 valves to keep the air from rushing to the other side and not even wire switches to give you that motion.
Why is this even a question?Is it because 2 valves are cheaper than 4?
I dont get why you wouldnt set it up with 4 valves.I know a unibody is weak for side to side motion.But like I said before,just dont set it up to have that motion.

 

mine just has f/b the body roll is very minimal if any. even taking turns doing 30mph+

 

that was the original question

 

Do you have 2 valves per axle or 4?

 

2 per axle

 

i wanna build an air kit from scratch can i get some info. i will probably do 2 valves at first and if unfavorable i will go for 4. i dont wanna void my warranty tho so hmm. i guess i'll deal with that then

 

If you can get 5 people together you can get a easy street full kit for $1700

 

yeah way too much. i'm talin home made with my assurance and my pride of my own kit. yeah. lol

 

theres nothing like putting some blood, sweat, and beers into a car

homemade is the way to go

 

exactly. i've done 90% of all work done on all 5 of my cars. i love it. at first i did it myself out of necessity . then outta love and pride and fun and now because of both. lol . i mean if you "make" a custom air kit and install it yourself and it workls and it's cheap? mad props will come from everyone and everywhere.
