ya now ima come rob you sonn lol

Small tanks arent good cause theyll have to be filled everytime you use the air. Which will wear out your compressors faster.


Just found a cool site. It helps you calculate how fast itll take to recover your tank each time depending on which compressors you use. Im thinking about maybe dual viair 480s on a 5gal. Or dual air zeniths if i can afford them haha.

Is this thread to gauge interest for sales or personal? Personal, I'd vote yes. Sales, I'd vote no, don't see many would spend the money for it.

Not sure what you mean sales or personal?

Im not looking to sell them. Im getting them for myself, and i was just wondering who else was interested in getting them also.

If anyone is interested in getting this system please feel free to contact Andrew at OpenRoadTuning. Hes been VERY helpful in educating me on these systems.

Ive done LOTS of research on these systems and pretty much know how to build them in and out. <3 forums and the internet LOL So if anyone has any questions feel free to PM me or ask here.

Thought you were going to distribute it since you have the 180 custom name attached and the thread title was "gauging interest"


Anyway, it's gonna be nuts when you get it done!

Stoof I'm all in on this one PM me with best possible specs to get this done, tank size and all. I was going with Ksport air ride but the vendor never delivered my sheit after almost four months I got a refund.

Yeah ill be making the first payment to have the bagyard airstruts made next week. Takes about 4-6 weeks to complete.

The rest of the system i opted to piece together myself. I already bought compressors and valves.

Ive done TONS of research on these systems and know them in and out. I opted to go with a higher end setup for functionality and ease of installation.

Im getting the following:

5 Gallon Aluminum tank
Dual Viair 400c compressors
VIAIR Corporation - Dual 400C
RideTech Big Red 4-way Valve Manifold Click Here (on sale for half price right now)
RideTech RidePro e3 Digital controller Click Here
Bagyard Airstruts made from Bilstein struts
3/8" Air hose

Everything all said and done is costing just under 4 grand. I couldve built a less expensive setup probably for about 2800-3000, but like i said i opted for the better stuff. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

Ill be making a full detailed thread on DIY explaining everything and where to get what and what does what and prices and all that good stuff. But im gonna wait til im done to start the thread so i post all the info at once.


If anyone has any questions about anything at all feel free to PM me.
