i myself personally WOULD NOT !! , there aint much left of that truck , he says its has a 4link AND a panhard bar , you use a panhard bar for a 2link, so it sounds like he doesn't know what he is talkin about on his own truck !!! you would have to put a pretty good amount of money to get it driveable, so my suggestion is to buy a complete truck and bodydrop it yourself and get new air suspension parts , 7 out of 10 times with a truck in that shape ,your buying someone elses nightmare, thats why they didn't finish it . you never know but if you price it all out , the difference between that one and one you can pick up for real cheap but running and functional, i am pretty sure you will see it would better to let that one go and get something like i mentioned !!! think long about it before you fork your cash over............. good luck

cool , i'll try and put up a photo of my toyota, it's not running right now so it will be a pic of it in the garage, my battery is pretty low so ill take my 4runner battery out and let it air up my tank , i hate to run my 380's of of a battery but f_ck it !!! it actually runs , but my cylinder head is f_cked up and makes a sound like there is a wrench tumbling around inside. so, ill pull it out and wash the dust off and snap a couple of pics of it , probably around noon tomorrow and ill post them later that night.............

AVS just came out with one , i hear they are very good.. if you were looking at the one from A.I.M (airbagit ) DON'T BUY THAT CRAP !! aim sells shitty stuff that ain't worth shit, ask around, others will tell you !!!!!, anyhow, in MY opinion, i don't and will never use one ( digital air ride sensor ) the only time u would need one is to level your ride , most of the time when ur hitting individual corners ( wheel ) ur stopped and showing off , then u would drop both corners down ( front or back or sides ) then hit front or back or side up, after you are used to bags u get a feeling for them. i go by my gauges, i got front and back, that's it, that's all i need, so i know i want the front at 80-95 psi and the back at 20-30 psi, thats the perfect height for driving , so you see you will figure it out with out digital gauges, but if you want them, get the system from AVS or like BIG P said , from air ride technologies.......

yeah, i stand corrected, the YORK goes to 200-220 psi tops , it's the SANDEN that gets HIGH psi. it must have been a sanden on that truck, they look just like the stock gm a/c compressor to some one who didn't know the difference. my toyota has one on it but it is not working, the previous owner ran it without a pressure switch to see how high it could go ( psi ) and fried it , so one of these days im gonna get a new one and see how it does, especially since my friend just gave me some 5/8'' and 3/4'' parker valves so a lil' extra psi will come in handy !!!!! ( right now im using my two VIAIR 380's at 200 psi ) ........

you have to use either a YORK or a SANDEN. there is NO WAY you can use a stock a/c compressor off a s10. so he must have had one of those in there. engine driven compressors have their pro's and cons , you have to constantly fill them with oil, or they will burn up, they will go to about 220-240 psi on the big york, if you ever seen an Oaisis compressor , that is the heart of it , with an Oasis you dont have to have it running off your belt assembly. if i were him, i would get 2 viar 380's or 480's on a 8 gallon tank. that's what im running. you can find a used Sanden edc ( eng. driven comp.) from a junk yard for about 40-50 dollars, but then you got to get a mounting bracket for it. ive seen refurbished ones on ebay for about a hundred bucks ( with out the bracket ) btw sandens only go to about 150 psi. some people love them, some people have no time for them cause they are not is reliable as electric compressors ( viar,air zenith, oasis, etc.. ) so anyhow , my suggestion ( or opinion ) is to get some viars and a tank ... btw, you would still need a airtank if you ran an EDC...........

go with slam specialties , contitech, or airlift's new dominator bags.. firestone and airlifts older series bags are not that good ( not much lift or psi handling as compared to slams or conti's and the dominators ) if you had a first choice , go with slam specialties , very durable and have an excellant ride ( i run mine with no shocks up front ! ) get D.O.T airline from any air suspension supply store AND DONT SKIMP ON YOUR FITTINGS!!!! dont buy a universal fitting kit, buy your fittings specifically for what you need ,get solid brass with the little air line support insert ( cant think of the name for it ) your gonna spend between 80 to 150 dollars for quality fittings , trust me, the extra money is worth it.. hope this info is useful , good luck with your ride....
