Yep basically paying for those brackets which cost them about $10 then double for the price of the bags/fittings/lines should try to get the brackets and buy the rest separately

 

that's what i was thinking, i can get airline from hardware store for a few cents/ft, fittings are about $10, hardware is a few bucks....

i just really need the bags and the brackets and everything else i can get cheaper and local

 

i might just get the universal airlift slam air kit from summit, i posted on another forum and he's using that kit with a flip kit installed on his chevy, says the bracket fits a belltech notch too (if i end up getting one). it looks like it mounts up fine with no interference, minus the notch.

 

Yep and even get some custom brackets made by that guy who did slw svt's work OR get some universal brackets and weld it to the axle and inside of the frame

 

that's what i am aiming for, now i just need to save up and get the kit and some por for the frame as well, knock out 2 birds with 1 stone

 

The bags cost more than $40

 

also, anyone know where to get good shock extenders? so far i've heard that these are the one's to get, but if there is some others that are recommended and cheaper, let me know please.

I got my shorter groundforce 70064 shocks for less than $60 and are made for a 5" drop (works fine with my 8" drop) not sure if the length will work for your truck though. But I would suggest getting a shorter shock before getting extenders

 

right now i have crap monroe 2wd spec shocks (that are basically fully compressed), but i have a set of lightning spec bilstein's i plan to put on whenever i get the helper bags on and some shock extenders.

 

ended up getting a kit for free from another member on a different forum, only bad thing is one bag has a hole in it and he doesn't know which brand it is, no marking at all from what i can tell so far, figured once i get the bags off the bracket, i can find a part number or something.

 

I have slam air kit # 59210 on a 2008 ford f 150 screw lb with 35.6 gas tank it is designed for lowered trucks I have a 6" drop with no c notch. The system works for me requires min 10psi to max presure 100psi I run 45 and 35 psi with my spare in the bed.

pretty easy set up one thing that my kit came with that yours did not was a plastic piece that takes the place of the spring for mock up only. It is to align the spring correctly. The kit you show looks similar to mine.

if so you can order the replacement springs from stylin concepts, jegs, summit, or there is a place that may also sell them to you as well called mac's spring in california.

I think it is either 1800 or 2000 lbs is the kits rating. Been a while since i spoke about it. Any way I also have a thread in here some where that shows the kit being installed by me on my truck. Meanwhile I will look to seee what the replacement bag #'s are for my kit and the weight rating 2000 lbs rating ok got a site for ya Truckspring.com there are two pages of springs when u search for them they want u to look up under air bag then when ur in the site it is an air sleve wtf confussiong to find anyway i found the replacement for my kit the individual spring part # is AIL50266 and costs 65 bucks btw the reason I have these on my truck is I tow a 26" cole on triple axle trailer weighing in at 7500 loaded with fuel

Looks like a firestone rolling sleeve, which is actually pretty common for helper bags

yeah i think it goes to a airride kit

i guess if i can't find any manufacturers mark or part #'s, i can get its dimensions and just go by that. i'll post up what i find when i get a chance.

 

My notch was 100+ shipping brand new

 

I see you already got that free kit but just in case that doesn't work out I am running SLAM Specialties bags with Viar tank and Viar compressor controlled by an in cab switch and monitored by in cab gauge and I absolutely love them. I highly recommend them.
