Well, It's not hard to find a good bag system, the problem is finding it for a good price. If you're not worried about price, theres no problem. I think the best system would include:
(Remember, this is just my opinion, from my experience.)
1. a Viair 450 compressor for each 5 gallon tank (the 550 is awesome, but there have been problems with them, it might've been fixed by now) I'd go with 2 compressors and a 9 gallon tank or 2 fives.
2. I'd go with either SMC or PARKER valves. Either 3/8 or 1/2 valves. these type of valves are pretty dependable. I'd do 8 valves with a 10 switch switchbox for full control. (ebay has them pretty cheap)
3. As far as Bags, almost anyone has Firestones, but if u have the $, I'd go with SlamSpecialties.com. I compared the brands and Slam Specialties seem BADASS! but they're at least $95 each.
4. Everything else: just get all metal fittings, 1/2 or 3/8 line, pressure switch, air/water seperator, a tank or two, four-link, and brackets for the bags. And guages.
Sorry, i know u already had bags, but this is only way i could think of putting it. Hope it helps.

If you want a one shot deal, and it's a very good kit, then call up Air Ride Technologies. I've been running their 4-link kit, and Shockwaves for around 9 months with no problems or repairs.

All total, I spent around $3,000 for the whole thing (bags, compressors, fittings, solenoid, and lines) and did the install myself.

Not a bad install, but the instructions could have been a little more indepth.
