dude...this kit is junk!!! it comes with 1/4 inch line!!!! garbage for a compressor, and it doesnt even come with the bags or brackets....it also says it takes 10-12 seconds if you did have the bags to inflate them....woould you wanna be at the stop light tryin to hit some switches and the damn light change by the time your bags filled up??? not me!!!!! just my 2 cents....go for a kit that has 3/8 or 1/2 inch line!!! much faster..later

That's funny I have a 2-way Ride Pro system on my '98 and it only takes 3-4 seconds to go from deflated to inflated.

And Thomas compressors junk? I've aired up my truck from sub-zero to 100+ temps, and have never been without air. Nor has it ever failed me.

i think the best way to go is to get a 1/2inch system, a friend of mine has a s-10 with electric valves,550 comp. and 10 switch box. he can hop and it only takes 1 min. to full the tanks.
VERY FAST!

i built all custom brackets and am using 1/2 inch 300 psi valves, i also put in the engine drivin air compressor. if you wanna play its the only way to go...electric compressors are slow and noisy...engine compressor.....9 gallons from 0 to 175 psi in less then 3 minutes......can raise truck up fully 2 times before i have to fill tank, truck raises in 1/2 a second.....back hops slightly....yeehaa

Thetimon, what engine driven compressor do you have? How much was it? Have you had any problems with it? Thanx alot and that system will take about 10 - 12 seconds to rise you about an inch, then you have to ait for your compressor to fill up that 1 gallon tank again to get another inch. I believe that set up is more fore the rear towing bags. There is no way that would last on actual air suspention. Im running 1 5 gallon w/ a 450 compressor and still run out fairly quickly. A 1 gallon would take FOREVER to lift you up to be able to drive. Take it easy guys. Later

Haha.....laughs at the 1 gallon storage. Do it right and get you some BlackMax or Herion valves (500psi) and an engine driven compressor on a 12 gallon tank. Then get you a large scuba tank with a regulator set to 250ish and fill it with nitrogen and set it in the back. Next get the high strength slam bags and run 1/2 line everywhere. I'm sure anybody could have fun with that. Tip: be careful with aluminum rims and balljoints.
