Dude.. just remember we all started from somewhere.. don't feel bad asking questions.

You have TONS of options which really depend on what YOU want.. and what you want out of your truck. There are some kits that are pretty basic which i will list. With that said on a torsion bar mazda (up to 93).


To do the front you will need
front torsion kit
air bags
valves

for the rear you will need a link setup to hold the axel in place. There are tons of ways to do it.. but the most common are
3 links
4 links
air bags
valves

depending where you want your bags in the rear (on the bar, over axel, custom cantilever setup)

Notch
compressor(s)
air tank
preasure switch
relay
switchbox (or switches somewhere to work the valves)
brackets depending where you want to mount the bag


The easiest way is to call companies like Grant Kustoms at
(530) 532 7832 who is an advertiser on this website who does hook us up as memebers.
Or check out the websites like




who are also advertisers of the website and are always down for helping out, and answering any questions.

The big one is you need to decide what kind of link setup you want.. and where you want to mount the bags. Of course you can buy kits that include all the air bags and products needed to run air ride.. and then buy the brackets that are specific for your vehicle, and what you want to do with it. Hope this helps some.

Feel free to pm me asking any questions you might have... or just post em up so everyone can help.

Hey man, although Mike covered a really good amount of stuff.. I'd be glad to help with any other questions or even getting you the right parts. I noticed you're maybe 30 mins or so away also, I live in Crestview and if it came down to it maybe you could meet up with some of us on a weekend and check out the front install on my friend's mazda. In person is always better than pics, maybe he's down to take a wheel off in a parking lot (if not, ill distract him) Well Hit me up sometime.
