you will need the rear upper/lower a arms. when you air out tires will get sucked so far forward the arms will fix that plus pinion angle

i did put in in my vendor section

rear tbss bags (like i showed on pics upper crossmember on tbss same as tahoe so pops in)
5/32 line is in tbss bags you can go 5/32 to 1/4 inch adapter push to connect
then then from that adapater to go airlift part number 72000 in rear which is all wireless from inside the cab and done.
ride height is about 3-4 inches and ride better sits lower/more lift than kildermans (or however you spell it)

bags with lines and airlift 72000 around 550 bucks if you get the cheaper airlift unit will be like 450 bucks.

btw you can tap in a 1/4 inch fitting or 1/2 inch on top of the bag if you want it to be faster

Is there a way to get the Tbss bags on a NBS if so how much of a drop would it give? @NORCAL SS


yes you can use the tbss bags on the NBS but you need to check the upper cross member in rear. Some of the nbs ive lowered had the same crossmember as the tbss so the slots are there up top. Easy way is to look above rear springs and if there are 3 slots on the frame then the tbss bags will fit right in.

the tbss bags will get the frame to sit on the axle when deflated. Ride height is 3-4 inch drop

@shundal what about a dual tank and compressor system that fits in the front and bolts into the skid plate area?

I liked that on the Kelderman Setup, especially because it allows to keep the spare tire. I've been playing around with a few different tank and compressor locations and if I can fab a bracket to work up front I will go that route. Makes electrical easier to wire as well.

I like that the kelderman system can just bolt right up into place, but because i got my setup at wholesale price (other than tbss bags) through my father in law, that's why I'm going this route. It will require fab work, but it shouldn't be too bad.

You know you can buy just the tanks and brackets, they're setup for dual 400C compressors. The kit is discontinued but I can still get those made if you would like.
