i did my whole set up by my self for 1100.00 dollars and did it in 2 days so if u shop around u can get it cheaper than just buying one of those kits check out www.suicidedoors.com and easy street for u bags i got all my stuff from suicide doors and they will actually work with u on price just tell them what u are doing and the will help u out and tell u what need.

Looks like you got an excellent deal. I assume you are running the Easystreet front and rear kit with 3/8" SMC valves, 3/8" airline, a pair of Viair 420s, a 5 gallon tank and probably a standard plexi 10 switch box?

I am pretty sure it is a 5 gallon. I am almost positive that those are a pair of Viair 420 compressors. Those compressors are 10" long. The 5 gallon 8 port tanks that Suicide sells look just like the one in the pictures and is 20.5" wide. Judging by those pictures, it all adds up.

Of course, we just have to wait for baggedbox to reply to know for sure.

yeah thats suicide doors 5 gal tank and viair 420s and its not really loud in there with them, well atleast not in the front seats the rear passengers complain about it sometimes but i barely hear them with the radio turned up .
i am running everything that RTon20s said except im running the air lift 2500lb rear bags which are alright and i made the ____ed up choice of buying the FBI mini bag mounts which i would not recomend to any one i had to do more modifacations to them just to get them to work and still having problems with them the bottom mount bolts roke twice and the top cup had the wrong thread bolt welded to it so i had to cut it them out and put the rite ones in. and they dont lay down as low as it should with them so now i am gonna have to cut the top and bottom cups down so it will lay better.
i got another 5 gallon tank for free the other day its a chrome 4 port tank i think im gonna add to this setup so i can have 10 gals of air cause i do tend to get switch happy at the car shows and i think im gonna switch to 1/2 air line and as soon as i get a new daily driver im gonna prolly start cutting the front shock towers and raise them up and tub the rear end so i can lay all the way down.
i still have a lil room to play with on the front1/8th or 1/16th of an inch

Pretty cool baggedbox. So did you buy the FBI rear brackets separately from the rest of the items? Or is Suicide selling those now as well?

i bought them seperate cause suicide didnt have bag mounts for my car at that time they had just started carrying the front bags.they do carry some now that lay lower. i live about 1.5 hrs away from suicide doors thats why i get all my stuff from them i could just call them and have them custom make a rear setup for me i imagine jason would do that for me.

Jason is a really cool guy. I started dealing with him when he was creating parts part time out of another companies shop. We used some of his first sets of front brackets on my brother's Ranger. Then his new and improved brackets when the originals failed. (Replaced for free, overnighted, and several grinder discs sent to us.)

Definitely one of the best companies out there to deal with. If any company has deserved to expand grow and exceed like they have, it is them.

Hard to beleive the ranger you are doing right now is actually more torn apart than my brothers. Though not much more. He's actually getting ready to cut those same exact brackets off the front of his truck.

we cut the frame down about 4 inchs thats why its torn all the way down we had to make new front bag mount brackets and relocate them onto the radius bars cause we couldnt get enough lift to turn the front wheels and clear the fenders
theres the frame that and where we cut it down

heres how low it lays so far
