There are two ways to do it. Air struts and air cylinders. Personally, I'd go with air struts because there is adj dampening. With cylinders you have to worry about overextention and seals leaking and breaking. That kit uses cylinders. Also, keep in mind to use quality parts. Cheap valves will end up fucking up and even locking so watch out. You get what you pay for. Decent air ride setups will run you $1800up.

What are you running for your air supply I had 1/2 line and valves on my v8 chevy truck and it use to hop the front like 2 inch on straight air no nitrogen.

I've read many threads that blowjax cylinders are shit.

Basically, like I said before, you get what you pay for. If your running fast valves, you better back that up with a dual tank setup with a high duty cycle compressor ex. viair at least. You idealy want a dual tank dual compressor setup if your planning on hopping, or laying it out at every red light.

yea..ive read that to...but i think the majority of people have them so i assumed that was the popular...kinda like how everyone wants AEM.....and leaves out INJEN...kinda like that situation....everyone uses blowjax and forget the others...
