if you cant figure what all fits together to run close to the best then i dont see you needing an air system. lines valves and bags all are straight forward so thats obvious as to what you need. if you dont know u need 2500 in the front and 2600 in the rear FOR MOST CASES ....you dont need bags. if you cant figure out how many of a certain size compressor you need for a certain size tank(s), you need to read up some. these are all basic deals that go in to a setup.
Like I said, each to his own...
I mean, what gives you the right to decide who should have what done to their ride or whatever...
Lots of people have more money than Skills or even time to build it...
Case in point... One of my friends has a 2nd Gen S-10, he doens't know much about Bags at all...
He hasn't even changed his own oil before...
Anyway, He ordered a Full Air Ride, Ride Pro E Setup and all the Suspension parts as one big kit....
He did all the wiring, plumbing of the switches, valves, comp tanks etc etc and had a shop do the hardware underneath...
He has had that setup for almost 2 years, has won numerous shows and has a blast Draggin the p!ss outta it in front of everyone...
Half the people that have cool sh!t don't have a clue about it, they just know they got it and its cool...
Thats goes for Stereos and HI-Perf Motor work too...
I dunno how many times I've been really interested in intrigued by someones setup and said, hey hows, such and such done? They either told me they didn't know, or were giving me so much B.S. I knew they didn't know....
if your speaking of links and all this i just dont see an ameteur installing one him or herself period.
You don't see an amateur installing them period?
Then you don't know many mini-truckers or custom enthusiests....
Go to Blazinlow.com s-seriesforum.com or s-10forum.com
There are seriously hundreds, if not thousands of young (and old) kids on there who can't afford a shop to do any of their work, so they attempt it...
Everyone I know thats done their bags was an amateur and did not know how to do it when they started...
I'm not saying they do the best or most professional looking jobs, but they atleast try... They are getting a start and learning how...
Do you think Jason (if you know who that is) from SuicideDoors.com was born knowing how to make ******* doors or all the bag brackets that he know churns out on a daily???
all my bracketry and notches will be done by a shop, only to have it towed home for the rest.or have a friend do the welding. i just dont like seeing bolt on equipment period
So, you are telling other people what they should or should not have, when you are planning on having someone else do the major or most critical part of your install...
I'll let that go, but I'd hope that if a shop puts on all your brackets and especially the Notch, that they do the welding... Not your friends...
Other wise, your friends might as well do the brackets and notch too...
Whats the point of having a shop do it then?
Hows it going to stay on and in place till you can get too it??? Zip ties and Crazy Glue?
Now I will agree with you that I prefer weld on brackets and such to Bolt on, but the Bolt on stuff that SuicideDoors and other companies makes are just about as good.... If you Do it right and use hardend Bolts, lock washers, etc...
I've used'em and seem used alot...
Also, Several of Air Rides links are weld on and the ones that are not can be welded on...
I can go all day about this...
So I guess we can agree to disagree...
