you need: tank, compressor, some manual or electric valves, air lines, pressure switch, relay, 10 ga wiring, 16 ga wiring, fuse holders, assorted nuts and bolts to hold the bags, two slam specialties RS6 bags (because buying firestones is like buying a happy meal when a steak dinner is only a few dollars more) upper universal torsion bar mounts, gussets, air fittings kit, relocated shock mounts (MUST HAVE) gas shocks, and a few days of down time.
you DONT need lowered spindles or lower control arms if you keep your head out of your butt when setting the height of the upper mount. In fact spindles push the wheel out about an inch compounding wheel fit problems, and lower control arms complicate bag mounting needlessly.
You DO need to trim the lower arm to clear the lower suspension mount.
There are about 10,000 pictures of completed setups on the web. I can take a few more when we do my nefs setup. He will have around 500 or so in his whole setup, which includes bags, mounts (we got the patterns from a good friends airbag shop and programmed them into a cnc waterjet, nice parts) shock relocators, shocks, lines and pressure switch from the local semi store, wiring and relays from the local stereo store, manual MIC valves bought used on ebay, two compressors bought used from someone local who went engine driven, a 9 dollar wal-mart tank, fittings and hardware from ACE.
DRIVE A QUALITY BAGGED TRUCK FIRST. At 31 you may be set in your ways, I am 35 and speak from experience. You may hate it. I love the restrained ride of bags and gas shocks, and watching people who ARENT familiar with the ride of bagged trucks winch as they see a bump approaching, and their shock when it becomes almost a non-event.
