Dotech or belltech nitro drops are all that is recommended. Others just dont ride as well. I'm sure some autozone type do, but i dont know the names.

Drop spindles... belltech and djm are 2 of the best.

Just let me add... in TN, its hot as hell, plastic fittings, will just bust in the heat. Use Brass DOT, you can get "push to connect" brass DOT fittings at a local home depot or lowes.

For 1/4 to 3/8 inch air line, you can use push to connect (ptc) fittings, but anything bigger, doesn't bend enough to use those and you'll need pressure crimped fittings. Those you can buy and have someone who does hydro lines, crimp them.

There are acouple of badass shops in TN, when i remember the names (they change so frickin often), i'll post them. You can have them install it, if you were closer to TX, i'd do it for you and have you watch to learn, but you're a little ways away.

there are tons of installers here. but, i question there quality and work ethic. 2 that i know of here might actually be qualified for such a job(Special F/X and Kustom Kreations). I have a couple more questions for you. what is the purpose of the drop spindles? also, all the nitro shocks i have found from belltech are for trucks with no more than an 6/8" drop. what should i do?Thanks for the help.

The purpose of them is to get an extra 2" of drop. You can bag without spindles, but you wont lay flat, you need the extra drop they provide.

yea, that is the static drop amount for those shocks. You will need a shock relocator kit anyways, so that will enable the installer to stick it where you can lay flat and all the way up and still be fine as far as travel.

Kustom Kreations is 1 shop i DO recommend. Thy do some really really nice work. Some of their work is on s10forums.com.

also, I really dont want all those different positions you can do. I just want it to be able to go up and be able to bring it down. Is that possible, anything special i would need?

-thanks

[Domeskilla]

yea, its possible.. what moves do you want? front up and front down, rear up and rear down.. or all up and all down?

Either way, you'll never everything i listed. the only thing that determines your moves is how many valves you have.

front up, front down = 2 valves for the front
rear up, rear down = 2 valves for the rear

4 valves total

all up = 1 valve
all down = 1 vales

2 valves total

front, back, side to side, or individual wheel requires 8 valves, 2 per wheel.

wow,i just totaled up the price!!!! If i had gone with the all easystreet like i had planned it would have costed me well over 2000 bucks. All the parts combined that i have found totals up to just under 1400 bucks.Damn that saved me 1000 bucks. you were right about it being cheaper, thank you very much. I want it all up/ all down, so i only need 2 valves. 4 bags on 1 valve? seems like a heavy load. I appreciate all the info and help you have provided me, thanks again.

now add the price of labor and you might be around the 2000 for the ART stuff.

no, you need 2 valves for all up and all down... 1 to fill and 1 to dump the bags.

Go with SMC valves, Jason over at suicidedoors.com has em for 35 each, that is hella cheap!
