Default diy air ride

I have been loking into doing an air ride system on my 2013 road glide custom. The kit I looked at and liked most was the xotic customs 5" system. I have read a lot of good reviews on it but several people said you can build your own system cheaper and with better parts. So my question is. What all parts do I need to make the system complete? Brands and part number's will greatly help. I hope to get this on my bike before the Sturgis motorcycle rally in August. Thanks in advance.
