Air shocks or the bags that mount like shocks? I hear that they don't get a lot of travel

You don't get but maybe 6" stroke out of strut bags Aka shockwaves. That's the only downfall to them. Ridetech has been known to build custom shockwaves for more travel but the $$$$$ better be ready for that.

The shocks with bags on them.

I was just browsing suicidedoors and saw them.

I emailed that dude at NFamus about a kit for the nnbs. Seems like a nice kit to buy.

Well I guess im gonna 86 that idea.

What are some reputable places that sell bag parts? SD seems to just cater to S10s.

How's the EMW front? I've heard of ppl using it but haven't researched it yet.

gravity-werx.com, airbagfittings.com are good also, thorbeckebros isnt a bad place to deal with either - but their kits do tend to cater to mintrucks

well this is on my S-15, but I'll run down a list and just sub out GMFS parts, well you know what I mean
Spindles : $150
lower control arms: $300
bag cups $40
front bags $160
Plug and play system (free to me) but $1100 (all 1/2" with gauges, compressor, valves, lines etc
3-link about $700 total with the notches and bridge etc
lines $80
fittings $100?
so about $2600 plus shipping, this isnt even including running the gauges yet! I still need some "T" fittings for 1/2" to 1/4"

if its setup right and nothing rubs you won't have to worry about it messing up.

Finally.

Question: What is a pressure switch for and do i need one?

And what is a check valve and do i need one?

A pressure switch is what tells the compressors to turn and when to turn off based on take pressure. it is something I consider a need. you can run a switch for your compressors and manually turn them on and off but then you have to have a tank pressure gauge and watch it to make sure pressure doesn't get to high.

check valves are one way valves the you put between your tank and each lift valve. this means that if your tank begins to lose pressure because of a leak your bags pressure will not seep back into the tank and cause the truck to drop. You do not need them. a lot of people run them, but I do not and I daily drive my truck.
