Default Air Suspension

I'm looking for anykind of advice about bagging a cruiser, anything to get me started shopping for parts. To be more specific I want full air suspension and a smooth ride for my 18's. Oh and I would mind being able to set it down-down in a parking lot either. any help would be great thanks.

I got VIAIR system. Lifts Bruizer kit higher than stock, drops low enough to crush your foot. 2 compressors, 1 tank. VERY smooth ride with 18" wheels. If you want info on what to expect from a PT like that as a daily driver, just ask.

As I write this my local shop is installing a "Drop Zone" kit I purchased. Air struts in front, bags in the rear, 3 gall air tank, compressor, hose, solenoids, fittings and the all important wireless remote for shows. check out http://www.dzmotorsports.com

RetroPT, I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the system. Would you post some pics of dash mounting location and tank location, etc.?

5 gallon tank between rear seats and box. Two 150 psi compressors. Controls built into the driver side pillar. Lifts fast enough for me (not fast bags, obviously...but I can adjust where I ride <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>) and drops fast enough too. Can drop low enough to crush a foot or ride higher than stock, although I don't much unless I need to because it stresses the front axle.
