my bagged RS 4.0 xB
Here are a few teaser pics of it on schrader valves,I am going to try to get it plumbed into the tank and wired up in the next few days.I am running all 1/2" lines and valves with ball valves inline with the bags to control up and down speed,all the valves are hard plumbed onto the tank and the ball vales are on the outlets.here is pics of my tank,compressor,and the kit i bought from FBI that I am using.It is a 14 gallon tank and Air Zenith compressor.If I thought that the charging system would handle it I would use the Oasis I have for my truck until it gets done but I know it would kill my little Scion and I have only made 2 payments on it and have less than 2k miles.I promise to get a new battery for my digicam and take better pics when I get it all done.

Be careful with that 14 gallon tank paired with that Air Zenith. The Air Zenith is an awesome compressor, but you might end up burning it up if you are having to fill a tank so large.
And I would ditch the hardware store ball valves. I understand you are probably stuck with the 1/2" valves and line, but there are better options. Spend a few extra bucks and invest in these...

I appreciate your concerns and I am NOT trying to be a jerk RTon20s but I kinda got a good handle on what I am doing.The ball valves inline with the bags will work just as good or better than the fill and dump controls jason sells,maybe not as precise control,but they will do the trick.I have all 3/8's lines fittings and valves for my nissan but I am keeping them for it because of the stock floor bodydrop,so the 1/2 stuff with ball valves will be fine.
If I blow the AZ its under warranty and I can always add another battery with dual battery isolater and run the Oasis I have or buy a couple more AZ's.Honestly with the amperage draw of two AZ's I would probably be better off just buying another Oasis if the one AZ dont work out.besides I wont be driving it much(I have 11 cars and trucksLOL).The Xb I traded in to get the RS 4.0 had 5025 miles on it when I got rid of it this past december after owning it for almost 2 years.
raceronabudget I have 2012 miles in it,I bought it Dec. 7th and I have had my air ride kit since Feb. 2nd,I have been gathering parts to make it the way I want it since then.I have done a few other things to it since I got it check out my sig for all the details.
FatBox808 I know people that are ruinning 1 AZ on 12 gallon tanks and they do fine.
biff1805 there was only one place I could mount it and that is behind the rear seats.it is HUGE 20'long x 14"diameter
Big_Bird I think so
thanks for the responses everybody

Once again I appreciate all the nice comments,you guys all are very kind.
I hate running out of air,if the AZ dont keep up I will add another one or an oasis and another battery.my stock floored nissan truck is going to have two of these 14 gallon tanks on it.The xB is just something I play with,dont get me wrong I LOVE my xB but I dont have the ***** to cut it up.my REAL toy is the nissan here is a couple pics of it in its current state.
