Ok well i am new to the mini-truck scene. I was into the whole 'car scene' which after 4yrs of that, it got amazingly old. Anyhow i picked up a 98' S10, short box/red cab/5 speed/2.2 etc. I am debating weather or not to bag it or just slam it on 18s and buy a bike in spring. As for if i go "bags" heres my setup id run.

12 Gal Tank
Blitzluft 1/2" Valves (
2600 Bags in rear
2500 Bags up front
Switch box (looking for just a 4 switch)
DOT 1/2" Airline & DOT 1/4" Airline
Airlift Single Need Gauge
SMC 1/2" Water Trap
SDD 1/2" Check Valve
Belltech 2" Drop Spindles
S10 bolt on Bag Brackets
SD Bridge Kit
FBI 4 Link Kit
Tranny Crossmember

Besides fittings am i missing anything at all? Relays? Any misc items? Any more gauges?

As for compressors, i am un-sure on what to run. Ive been told (2) 450's will do the job nicely yet my friends say convert my AC Compressor to fill my tank. So i need some advice in that department as well.

Or just go with a 5/6 drop on 18s and pick up the 03' R6 off my cousin...(has UNDER 300 miles on it)..

BAG IT!!! Everything sounds pretty good. I'd go with a Suicide Doors 4 link though.

yah i figured i might as well just bag it. But my MAIN concern is compressor. Can i truly run my AC comp as my airtank comp? I have lots of friends telling me different things. So lost at the moment.

i dont think the factory ac pump will pump air very well. the ones ppl are using are yorks and sandens. both require custom mounts, water/oil separators, and fittings. the york will require less maintenece since it has an oil resevoir that stays filled. just check the oil every once in a while. the sandens require an oiler or daily oiling. both will pump 200 psi no problem. good lucka nd welcome to the scene.

like someone else said above... everything looks good except the 4 link, i would use fbi's 4 link on a gocart, unless theyve totally revised it, but i dont think they have, just my opinion id use a 4link from kp or jason at suicidedoors.com
