I have heard that the easystreet struts go bad and begin to clunk until warm.....

Our tank will probably not be ready until end of August or September

I can try to hurry it up a little, let me know how many ports do you need, would you want a tank drain valve and will you be mounting all of your valves under the car or inside?

Show me a photo of the tank you are looking at running inside the car and I will see what I can come up with.

air zenith is a good comp. but they are $300 and the viair 380c's combo come with 2 and a pressure switch and two relays for $290. think about it. that setup up there is almost the same way I am going to do mine but my tank is going to be smaller in size but still 5 gallon just the same as the link I sent you.

Only reason I was thinking Air zenith- is I want to send a proposal to them and try to get sponsored for that compressor and switch. If not the Viair is what ill go too-
Stainless air lines ? Where can i get those ?

hmmm..interesting....
air would be nice....

i couldn't figure out how to mount mine under the rear. you definately need to fab up some kind of rack like you see in the pics. i've just got mine mounted in the rear cargo area for now. the chrome tank and chrome compressors look to pretty to hide under the car IMO. :eek:

I hear a lot of bad things about easystreet. Are there any completely put together kits for sale on the market that are a good buy? or is the only way to get air ride for an xB these days to buy all the piece you need individually?
 
#34 · (Edited)
I decided to piece a kit together..


I'm leaving some of the smaller stuff out, but here's the basic run down.


Front struts from FBIrides.com - Easy street air lift - $550

Rear Bags- RS52 slam specialties - 75$ ea

Rear bag brackets from fbirides - $85 ( I might go billet from randode - $200)

Compressor - Viair 450 - $210 Shipped from candospecialties.com

Tank - 5 gallon 8 port - $55 from gaugemag

145 pressure switch - $15 from gaugemag

water seperator - $23 from gaugemag

9 switch plexi switchbox - $20

Lots of DOT brass fittings - ~$60 fom suicidedoors

50 ft 3/8" tube - $20 gaugemag

50 ft 1/8" tube - $8 gaugemag

(2) Easystreet dual needle gauges 0-200psi -$29ea ($58 total)

(8) SMC Valves, 10mm orfice, 3/8" ports w/ brackets- $48 ea ($384 total)



Total is somewhere around $1600.00



Maybe more if I need $200 for Cusco camber plates
