www.fbimini.com and www.suicidedoors.com for all your air needs. Want to go the cheap and efficiant way, where you will have a good set up and get everything at good prices, they are the ones you wanna go with. Or spend your money on the name of air runner and get basically all the same stuff but struts for more than half of what the same stuff costs.

go with those 2 links, sittin pretti has helped me out a lot. If i ever go with bags i will piece together everything from that site^^

EasyStreet Front Struts - 650$
FBI Rear brackets - 99$
RS52 SlamSpecialties 2500lb bags - 140$~
Viar 450c 100% duty compressor - 200$~

Then of course line, fittings, gauges, valves (40$~), tank prolly some other sheit too i'm forgetting, should be under 1500$ and i'll try to install it myself

oh yea, i'm only going to run a FB setup, haven't found a reason to run FBSS yet

I really like Viair and such, but they pull a lot of current from your battery and can cause some wiring problems, so when doing it, make sure you use good size gauged wire.

its not about where you mount it. Its the amount of amps the compressor is pulling. Just make sure you are running a fuse and the right size gauged wire.
