For a complete air system compressors, bags, valves and hardware.
around $1149.99
Bolt on 4 link setup.
$715.00
Rear axle brackets for air bags.
$30.00
C-notch with upper bag mounts.
$259.99
For the front you will need dropped ibeams and your own custom made
bag mount's cause no one make bag mounts for dropped ibeams.
$$$???

Macs springs has every thing I need and they do sell good name brand parts.
We use their product on every customers ride.
As for the a-arm kit I still go some more work to do on it about 60% done.
