I can do a full bag strut set-up for $3000 flat. That's including labor.

My FBSS kits include:
4 Universal-Air strut bags
8 elec. valves
1 polished aluminum 9 switch box
1 complete wiring harness
1 chrome/black 5-gallon air tank
2 Viair 380c compressors
1 200 psi pressure switch
And all necessary fittings and line

All that for around $1800

And I have 10+ years experience installing air ride suspension:

- No matter what you do in life, someone will find a way to do it cheaper..not always "better".
- Valves.....those are not "the best". It depends on what your setup requires. I prefer (personally and professionally) Manifold styles in street cars because of low failure rate and ease of rebuild....and they simply "look" nicer
- .I see the popular names thrown around...but they are just the most common...not the Best.
- Aluminum tanks are fine. It's the Chrome tanks that you may want to stay away from. The chroming process voids the previously obtained DOT ratings. I will not sell them.


One cool thing about being an enthusiast and parts supplier, is that I will order new parts just to test them out to give the best advice before selling.

I remember selling Accuair on VipStyleCars before any dealer...while a couple of them seriously bashed the company...meanwhile, Ive got the ish on several Personal cars, daily drivers...killin em

this is what was in my head when i read Oxers posts.

100% serious except last line.

you can go cheaper than this... i have seen paddle valves for as little as 15 bucks a piece, you can get a 5 gallon tank for 80 bucks and a viair 400c is like 200 bucks. say add another 150 for some dot line, gauges, a few fittings and a relay and you're good to go way under 600

I mean it's pretty much close, when you add up those costs plus the cost of gauges and shipping for each part. It's the same in the end, might be 20-30$ cheaper lol

aluminum tanks burst at certain psi and only a few are tested every so often. "all metal fittings" push connect fittings not the half metal half plastic fittings. and true accuair is esiar as iv bagged 7 trucks using that but the price is also a huge factor. and also id rather us gc 250 valves but smc are cheaper. and iv worked at the two biggest shops in texas for both lifting and lowering cars/trucks and also built a couple cover and feature trucks so i kinda know what im doing lol

Thats funny, In an automotive/car application the most you would use is 200psi, the tanks are tested at 4 times that rating.

As for the fittings, instead of metal, you should tell people "Brass", as brass dot fittings are the best option.

GC valves are common for failure, as are smc. Asco valves are the same price, simple to clean and rebuild, and much more reliable, but by the time you buy all the brass to connect them, it works out to be very similar in price as an accuair VU4. + you dont have to muck around with wiring.

Then again, you have built a couple of cover and feature trucks, so Daves comment still stands.
