I think the gfs will be going to ekstensive in a few years to get bagged and bd. I installed there front end kit on my GM truck they are awesome guys to deal with i will drive 60 hours for them to build my frame for both of my trucks when I get to that point. But why copper lines?? I like my Stainless Steel ones they look so nice and are easy to clean!!

But for a simple install I would go with Air ride tech as well!

I don't know why copper that's just what I got quoted I'm sure they would do stainless its probabyly to help keep cost down for the customer I mean there's nothing wrong with using copper at least they aren't using the plastic line lol I mean I went over board on mine and used steel braided hydrolic (spelling?) line throughout my show truck rated at 15000 psi lol

Ahh okay makes sense with the copper. Ya i have some nice steel braided hydraulic on my truck going from the compressor to tanks and in a few other places too.

Is the problem with airbagit there customer service or there product. The bags all seem to be simular maybe max load rating difference, but the strut bags seem to be the same 4" with shock valving. The 4 link with double convaluteed bags 2600lbl a pieceseems to be in line with competetion is there electronics, switches, and gauges of poor quality. I mean the other guys systems start @ $4100 for the same system or what apperars to the same @ $2200????????Please chime in and let me know the pro's and con's because I don't know

Air bag it has a bad reputation among the custom truck scene they use low quality parts, hardware, and probably 90 percent of the time the product doesn't fit correctly you ever heard the term u get what u pay for that's what you will get

That is what kind of feed back that will sway me the other direction. Yes I have heard that term before. However I did speak with one of the techs at air bag it, he seemed to be very knowledgeable about there product. Just like the air ride tech person was. They both said about the same thing about there products. Anyway thanks for the imput. Anyone else like to share there experience with either product.
