Four valves will a 3 gal tank be perfect for it? And it's c notched in the rear end front a arms were chopped to correct camber so how can I get her going I really would appreciate anyone's help maybe I could call and chat with

I'd definitely recommend at least 6 valves. 4 can lead to a lot of air transfer when cornering...you can also add ball valves as a cheap way to prevent air transfer/body roll but you'll have to open/close them manually...
3 gallon won't give you much air...5 is better but 3 can work...just will mean the compressors will run more...

I didn't take it that way. My comment wasn't ment to you, it was to 6772chev. Just wanted to give him a hint that I know what I'm talking about. I never dealt with Airbagit.com and didn't know they're bad reputation. We're all here to help the new guy.

I didnt really know what you were asking, but i do know this. 3 gallon tank isnt enough. i have 2 compressors and a 5 gallon tank and its not enough. Thats if you use it. If you just want to air up and call it good, then its fine......

Re: How about some pics of bagged C-10's

I've installed three 3 gallon tanks. That is if you want to play a lot.


Here's two 3 gallons and 2 compressors
