Here you go. I made a new thread cuz everyone been asking in many different threads. Quick run down of what I got:

Easy Street front kit
FBI Mini brackets and 2500lb bags.
E-Air Valves 1/2" and 1/2" line
3 gal chrome tank
Viair 450c compressor
2 gauges (sent me dual needle, only needed single needles)
and all that other good stuff

I also have some new shocks FBI suggests that are an inch shorter, so it will give more drop in the rear, I haven't put em in yet.

I am running a 19x7.5" wheel with +45 offset. Its a good offset, when up driving, there is plenty of room when corning at full turn, with no rubbing. But with its high offset, when laid out, the front lays on the tire which causes the fender/bumper bracket to rest on it and bow out a lil, not very much a problem to me though.

Any questions, feel free to PM me or post here! Thanks!

Now to the pics!

MAD PROPS ON THE WHEEL SELECTION!!

I'm feelin those fer sure!

Almost give it a lowered half-ton pickup feel to me for some reason...I think its the blockiness of the wheels...I dont know, one of them things I cant put into words...Awesome choice tho! I would consider gettin those if I was gonna bag my ride. I just dont think they would look all that great with a small drop.

Like I said tho...definately feelin it

They are a great wheel all together. Especially if you get em pretty big and just throw some springs on em. I was just lucky I found em at an unbelievable price. (Some guy I know won a set of any MHT brand wheel and sold em for half of what it cost retail)

Looking nice! Phil at FBI also reccommended the shorter shock. it really does help. as fr the front tire, make absolutely sure your wheels are straight when u drop the car. I didn't check one time and now i've got a crinkle u can see when the light is perfect. other that that, i love the switchbox! have fun with your bags, im really enjoying mine!

That is sick.

Sittin_Pretti_Box

haha trust me, I KNOW to keep those wheels straight, I accidently dropped it only once and luckily nothing bad happened. I know another guy who has his box bagged who dropped it on his fenders all the time, my other buddy who is a dent guy always had to fix em.

Sweet!!!

peabe

so you havent had any problems at all?

Sittin_Pretti_Box

I have a small leak that I know where its coming from, just been lazy to fix it.

When I got my front struts, one was a defect, it kept locking up on me. Got it fixed easily till I had a new one sent to me. It went smoothly getting the new part and what not.

very very nice im liking the switch box and the wheels i wanna go chrome and i might be thinkin about those other wise im gunna do 20's, by the way is this your daily driver and how many miles do you have on it?

Sittin_Pretti_Box

it is my daily. I have about 19000 miles on it now. I've had the bags since like mid July. Had the whole thing done before Drop Zone (July. 29th to 31st) and drove the 500 miles round trip with no problems.

dredge38

Thats awesome, i know that bags will always eventually have problems but it sounds like most of the companys have got all the bugs worked out of there kits

Sciond

nice box.....

rebelMan

nice!!! now i understand how the lines are ran to the bags and struts. Do you think that over the time the rear of the rear bags are going to wear out from having uneven pressure on them? the rear suspension looks like it puts more pressure towards the front i guess pushing the air against the back walls mostly. Why didn't they just make it put pressure directly DOWNward on the spring (or in this case bag)? And that switch box is PiMp!

How do you only run 2 switchs? This is the setup i want, up & down ONLY! teach me man, thx

Oh, something i've always wondered, when you jack your box up to change oil etc. Do you shoot it up all the way with bags then jack it up? I guess you have to huh? Do the rear bags fall out tho, or does the FBI brackets hold on to em? Thanks

hnefrdo

those wheels go perfect with your xB.

there are directions on how to handle working on a bagged car on www.airliftcompany.com

usually, i bring it up, line up my jack, then (since i have gauges) bring it to about 60psi or so (about half the capacty of 150); in all 4 corners, airlift ppls told me that i was doing it right that way, and that they'd warranty in case anything goes wrong
