    First & foremost---do some research into what type of set up you want in reguards to the link set up!!
    Read forms on what works best & bag types,any problems with ,etc!

    that would be a good start. for the front brackets pick the torsion bracket option. also plan on about $150 in fittings to plump it all. i'd also recommend going with the 3/8" valves and lines. it's still pretty fast. my 86 was fast bagged with 1/2" valves and lines and would hop 6" off the ground at 135 psi.

    Slam bags are the way to go. In my opinion its better to piece your stuff together instead of buying a kit. Cheaper in the long run too. If you have mild fab experience you can build all your steel bracketry and crossmembers for pennies on the dollar from buying them. As far as valves go... 3/8 is plenty as well as 3/8 line... I've spent alot of $ slowing my setup down when I thought I wanted fast( my 1st bag job). I finished my truck for the most part a month or 2 ago and would be more than happy to answer any Q's you might have. And good luck on the truck bro! :waytogo:

    Actually piecing together is usually gonna cost you more. Look at a kit price and then piece it together look at the difference in price especially with the price of damn fittings

    But look at the quality of parts. Most times you want better stuff... Good fittings arent cheap. Guess its just personal preference.:shrug:

    I'm not saying buy a cheap kit but alot of the kits at the listed websites all have top quality parts. So buying the kit is the cheaper way to go while still getting top notch parts. Like the avs kit is nice an has quality parts. But def personal preference

    if your gonna run a 200Psi switch, you might wanna get a 200psi gauge instead of th 150 you listed. just so you have an acurate reading. i pieced mine together, built my notch, 4link and all brackets... realy does save alot in th long run......
