I'm warning you now. don't get air cylinders for the front. do the strut bags. remember you get what you pay for. JDM kits are direct boltons. You will be way happier.

airbagit.com is an extension of Chassis Tech. If you can cancel it I would suggest it and get it through FBI or Gauge Store instead.

FBI took four to five weeks to fully ship my order. Now I have to figure out the crappy instructions. I was supposed to get the kit in two weeks. Hmmm, looks like their time frames were as accurate as their call backs

I bought my kit from FBI but then I got smart, I returned all of those crappy prone to leak brass compression fittings, and the tanks, their set up isn't very road worthy. If I were you I would not use those fittings they sent you or the tanks and just get some 1/2 line fittings. I would call Gauge magazine and talk to Matt he will set you up with a nice fitting and tank set up that's killer

And why is everyone shying away from front cylinders?? I have easy street on mine and they have been on there for about 2 months now and I have not had a single problem with them. However I believe the strut bags will give you more lift.

If you order the kit from Airbagit.com just don't come back complaining that it busted. We've warned ya. Chassis Tech is crap.

Ive had strut bags in teh front. They were horrible. EAI cylinders actually work.

and for teh people who think easystreets front bags give more lift, think again. Ive had both and the EAI lifts higher and dumps lower.

from what ive heard, ive come to find out that cylinders have a terrible ride quality. regardless of the rim/tire combo. and front bags tend to have a much better ride quality. other than that, i dont know any other reason not to go with cylinders.

my main reason to go with fbi's kit is because i have delt with them in person, they have a good rep, and the kit is bags all around so i can expect a good ride w/those and prbly 16"'s or 17"s rims

actually all the kits can only go as low as the wheels not hitting the bumper bracket and then the front sway bar also inhibits how low the air lift/easystreet goes just as low , i dont know about lift nor do i care.

You know honestly, I hate to see everyone here argue about this crap. Every experince is different. I've blown through airlift(easystreet) parts like there was no tomarrow, almost 3 full sets of bags, front and back. Then I've got freinds that I know personally that haven't had a problem one with there airlift stuff... I also have freinds that run airbagitparts with no problems. Say what you want about it, there are good and bad parts that come out of any custom place. With mass production, S#$t happens. The sad part is with custom parts is reputation is everything, wether they deserve it or not airlift has a better rep then airbagit. Bottom line is they all can break.......and anything installed right can ride and work fine.
