But the biggest problems you'll have are probably with the fittings leaking. I know the basic ones that come with the kits from Aim leak after a while, so I upgraded mine to high end Semi Truck Air Brake Line Fittings. I've been very happy with them. My car won't leak any air out of the cylinders for days. Very nice. Also, make sure you get a 100% duty cycle compressor. They're more durable. Your compressor is very important. I'm upgrading mine because it can't keep up at all with the cylinders. I'd recommend a 3/4 horse 100% compressor and at least a 5 gallon tank. If you have ANY questions, IM or email me.

Yep semi fittings will never go bad really. I agrre with on everything, had airbags on my truck though, but same idea..... I had a cheap compressor and it was loud and ran for days..... But I was one of the first to have airride in my town, so it was still sweet.(Had them like 4 years ago). also my fittings did leak one time and the truck was starting to rub the fenderwells and it almost popped my tire.
