What manufacturer did you go with? I am totally undecided who I should go with! Ride Tech is very popular but also is 3 times more expensive than the rest. What's more confusing is ride tech only comes with a 1 year warranty! Their top of the line system is over 7000.00 dollars when airlift and airbaggit is about 2500.00. I need advice from someone with experience! Any input form you is appreciated!

http://www.elcaminocentral.com/showthread.php?t=44990 Check the post i wrote here in september. I will piece together my own setup. This should give you a little direction. By the way, the basic ridetech setup is $2100, the rest are improved suspension &electronics. Airbagit / aim are JUNK.Airlift has some decent stuff at different price levels. I may use theirManual pneumatic valves, -their own phone tech uses them instead of the expensive electronics.Other good info sources are on g-body forum.com & lay it low forum.com. Do a little research here & I can help you more later.:beer:
