one very important thing was missed if you want your compressors to last. put a check valve in the leader hoses off the compressors tp the tank. if you dont all the tank pressure will be putting strain on the compressors when they fire up instead of line pressure being blocked by the check valve you have 150-200 or so PSI of pressure being stored in the tank pushing against the piston in the compressor when it fires up. could also cause some electrical issues with the extra amperage needed to fire up compressors

I'm suprised you guys didn't go for Ridetech's SHOCKWAVE Integrated Air Spring and Shock System, would've made the install much easier.

I love this channel and love that this is a true minitruck build but i am STRUGGLING to understand why yall went with a 5 gallong tank under the bed with another 5 gallon tank in the bed. Granted, the vales are in the tank in the bed BUT, you could have aaved a lot of work by going with a valve manifold AND not voided the warranty on the compressors by removing the leader hoses that have a check valve built in to them. Just seems kind of silly and a waste of time. Compressors/valve manifold could have gonenunder the bed and you have bit of a cleaner install with nothing in the bed.

Man so many negative comments about bagging a truck. Who cares if its not “useful as a truck” anymore. Thats not really the point. The point is it looks really cool, goes really fast, and is cheap and easy to work on

There just ignorant a properly bagged truck can tow and or haul more than a truck with normal steel springs
