    My '81, Airlift D2500 bags in front, D2600 bags in back. 1/2 inch lines and valves.
    4 Link coming soon with bags going on lower links, and custom control arms up front eventually. Oh and a body drop in the works as well.

    Welcome to TM. Running dual compressors or just a single?

    converted stock a/c compressor to air. fills my 5 gallon tank to 175psi in no time. kind of a pain to have to run an oiler and filter/drier, but I think it's worth the cfm, and less drain on the already weak charging system ( which will be getting a new delco 3 wire soon).

    air filter and a mist oiler in the intake side of compressor. then check valve to a filter/oil/water seperator followed by adjustable pressure switch on the pressure side. then to the tank. took some creativity to find space for it all.
