tryin to figure air bag management out, need help....

So i know this subject has been beat to death, but im tryin to figure out an air management system. I just want to be able to control the front and rear, i dont need all the fancy stuff where it does a hundred diffrent functions. Ive searched a ton, and find some stuff that touches on it but never seeming to find what im lookin for. There any vendors here that can put a budget kit together or somthin to just do the front bags together and the rear bags together???? Sureley this cant be that dificult.....HELP!!! Thanks in advance!!

I think most don't recommend 2 switches in the event you blow a bag. Below are two from azproperformance.com

Talk with Travis, there also a supporting board vendor and is very knowledgable

+1 on calling Travis @ azproperformance. After weeks of 'research' I wasn't sure on what I needed either, had a good conversation with him and he hooked me up. I went with a basic manual system and SS7 bags. Works great, I rarely touch it.

Ok, so with with the manual kits, or any kits for that matter, how do u know ur at the proper ride height? And im also curious as to how ya route the lines into the cab? Im definetly not opposed to the manual setup because of less electronics.

I ran my lines into the cab at the transmission hump because my control panel is incorporated in a home made console.

You guys that have these, do they fill the bags as fast as the ad claims? I figured they would work fine. Just curious.

I think they work faster than advertised ...I'm goin on a year now with this setup and no issues at all. Still happy and Boris aka ( way2lo2 ) is a good guy to do business with. I bought my tank, compressor, pressure switch and lowering blocks from him. Good customer service
