Default diy air ride

After searchin and reading through several threads on this im thinkin about givin it a shot. Talked to a guy at a rally that was runnin that set up and he said about how much he liked it. Any of you guys out there runnin that set up, whats your opinion on it? Looks pretty easy and straight forward to do. Any complications i may run into or advice before i go jumpin into doin this would be appreciated

If you're talking about the Dirty Air diy kit, it is much cheaper if you purchase the parts individually yourself. Did you read this thread, lots of info on doing it yourself.

The link dont work do you think you can repost it. As for the parts list guys im on my mobile and not sure how to post pics on here from that. I took a screen shot of a parts list someone else had posted. If you do a search for diy air ride you will find it. It uses monroe 1960-1980 air shocks. Ma785 i believe is the part number. Viair 92c compressor or some use a 98c compressor a u.s. solenoid normally closed solenoid. 1/4" air line 1/8" air line a handful of air line fittings a 3 way switch and you aslo need bushings for i believe its the bottom of the shock. Gotta press out the ones that come in it and press those onea in. And some guys have changed to longer bolts. Do a search on it and you will get a full parts list. Im thinkin about givin it a try this winter and see how it turns out. From what i read some guys have trouble with minor issues some dont. I guess its a trial and error thing but for $200-250 if it works great if not well no real big loss
