I have a 2001 ranger and I put air ride bags on the rear.I got a kit with brackets bags 1/4 inch hose and all.I also got the ride rite compressor kit and it stinks.I have never tried bags so I know crap about them.The guy that sold me the kit said it would fill the bags to 100 psi in a few sec.Well I know that is BS big time it takes 2 min to get 60 psi into 2 bags.I want to speed this up as much as I can.I have 1/4 inch lines,2 rear bags max psi 100 psi,air ride mini comp that sucks,no tank or valves.I need guidance here I dont want to waste more cash on junk.I want the same psi in both bags at all times.I want to get the bags from 0 psi to 100 psi as fast as I can.What do I need?

ya, thats why I never recommend air ride technologies stuff, its geared more towards the hot rod crowd than the lowrider crowd.
post up pics of your valves, tank, etc, so I can see what youre workin with.
or at least a link.

I'll try to help ya out.

I got a kit from them,I bolted brackets to the frame and mounted a perch on the leaf spring.No valves or a tank

This is the compressor they said I needed but it stinks.

um, ya, i cant believe they sold you a kit with no tank or valves.
do you mind me asking what you paid?

you need to just buy a real kit with some decent compressors, valves, and a tank or 2.

is it just the rear that you have done, or the front also?

Thats just it I did not know about valves and such,I still dont know what to get.I spent @ 625 for both kits.I need a shoping list.I think from what I have read a 3 gal tank with 4 ports,1 for feed,1 for guage and 2 for bags.A compressor is where I am a little stuck as well as valves.What type and size valve and how many?Are air bags like hydros every bag needs 2 valves 1 to fill and one to dump?As for the compressor how big do I need.Will 1/4 inch line work,none of the lines are more than 4 feet long.I only did the rear the front is torshen bars and that is way tougher to bag it seems.I dont plan to bag the front any time soon.I want to salvage as much of what I have as I can,they lead me wrong and now cash is short and my bags dont work for Sh#t

damn man, you got hosed.

get a 3 to 5 gallon tank and 2 or 4 valves. 4 valves will give you independent wheel control, which might be pointess in your application.

for a compressor, keep that one and get a viair 450 or a blowjax dc700

you'll also need a pressure switch also, if you dont already have one.

What kind of valves?How do I keep the bag from over inflateing?Any good faq or diagrams I can read.1 valve to fill one to dump I guess I need to know where I can get this stuff at a fair price.

air ride technologies isn't good at explaining stuff and takes advantage of people who don't know what to buy when it comes to air bags... I found that out when I helped my buddy install bags on his mini truck that had leaf springs on the back... the kit for leaf springs was the only one that I could find... their products aren't that bad... as long as you know what you are looking for... I just hate to hear that one of our guys got screwed... they are just making business bad for themselves though... hope it all works out ok homie...
