Yep, thats the plan. Sell the rims and tires, sell the Warn setup and the susp lift. The #3800 bags have like 12.5"of travel. So Im guessing that is a lot of lift. But Im still trying to read and learn on how it all works

what's the issues with them? the bags? the compressors? valves?

I've got my tank and a compressor already. All I need are bags, valves and switches.

AIM is knock off SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to the real stuff.... Im serious, there stuff is garbage. You will also need a bigger tank if you plan on lifting it more then once and another comp eventually. As for valves go with a set of SMC or ASCO and bags go with slam specialties or even dominatores..... not aim De-nomenators..lol. But you are missing alot of thing that you will need. p/s, fittings, lines, brackets, switches,wirirng, also if you are doind a rear 4-link you will need that... you are looking at around 2-3 g,s for everything... just something you will want to know when u are actually thinking about doing it. Its not cheap but def will be worth it tho man.

Look at
avsontheweb.com
suicidedoors.com
airassisted.com
gaugemagazine.com

Trust me the litlle extra money is well worth the quality of parts and service and warranty

whats the advantage of a 4 link?

Also, would it be better for 1/2" valves that 3/8"? I understand 1/2 would flow faster but are they needed. Im not trying to hop but Im not wanting to take 3-5sec to lift either.

Also 1-way or 3-way valves?

as i said you could use the leaf springs and remove a leaf that way when the bags are inflated you wouldn't get such a hard ride. But completely removing leaf and going to a 4 -link is safer and a muh better ride.

as for valves u def dont need 1/2 i would sugguest 1/4 valves with 3/8 line and fittings.

You need to do some research man, i have been doing these setups for 5 years now and am learning new things every day.

Check out s10forum.com i know u dont have an s10 but look in there bagging it section and look threw the threads to get a better idea of whats going on. I understand that your lifting it with air instead of dropping it but the parts will be used in the same way. Also heres my blazer build it may help aswel. Just do alot of research first man or you will end up with a hacted truck and wont be good for anything... I no thats mean but it happens all the time with people that think they no what there doing.

Yeah, Ive read about removing a leaf or two and why you need to so that makes sense. Ive been trying to read and research but the problem is everyone who does bags, does it to drop. I havent found not one person who does it to lift.

Im still not understanding what a 4link does and actually is. Ive seen the kits in parts and I assume it stabilizes the rear but IDK how.

Not taking anything in the wrong way so dont worry. I know I dont know anything about this. But then I didnt know anything about DRs until MAYBE 2 yrs so and look where I am now. It doesnt take long for me to pick up on things. I just need some guidance. LOL
