id install it for you. but i have moved and dont really live to close to you anymore. also you still need to buy all the fittings to hook the airlines and valves and tanks and bags together.
In a kit like that push fittings should be included....
Quick question:
Currently I'm running the UAS kit on my sedan. The system leaks pressure from the tank and the car completely airs out after 8 hrs. I've checked all the lines for leaks but found nothing. Could it be that the check valve on the leader line is causing the issue? Also, i've had a compressor (480 vivair) already blow out

They weigh about the same or less depending on the design. The kit from strafe is the one I had which is the Air Zenith kit. You will need all the fittings such as valves and lines to make this kit work, and of course wiring.
First of all ide like to thank Kenny for posting all this info up - Ive been debating on doing air suspension for about two years now and im finally to the point where im going to take the plunge (my gf says thanks kenny - she thinks its a waste of money
)
But ive got some general questions from a noob here that has never dealt with air suspension at all.
Ive thought about it and decided I shall take your advice and get analog air gauges and your kit you posted in your second post - which brings me to my first question. I'm sure they will seem quite stupid but im excited to learn and do the install myself
.
1: Where abouts might I buy analog air gauges? I looked on the AVS website and I can't seem to find the gauges specifically, would any air gauge work ? I've used some generic types before including tire air pressure gauges but i'm not sure if air suspension will require a special type.
2: Just a little confused on your second post shopping list - I understand that you would have to do two orders of the rear/front bags - but what about everything else, would we only need 1 compressor,1/4" Electric Valve ETC?
3: Do you not need cups for the rear bags? - Also from my understanding the bags (front/back) should just go on the shocks where the spring goes I presume?
4: Kinda going along with question two - for our fittings how many of what do we exactly need, i've read through all the pages on this subject and haven't found how many we need (I could be blind and or stupid haha) I'm going with the 1/4th fittings like you recommended for a nice slow drop.
5: When you talk about running "do i HAVE to run 8 valves?" do you mean the 1/4'' electric valve?(meaning eight of them) sorta like this product but their just an individual item not grouped? if so I believe I understand what they do and how they work.
Sorry for all these questions I hope it didn't make anyone's brain explode on how "newby" these questions are - I'm more of a hands on learner and I know if i had these parts and everything in front of me I will figure it out - But i would like to get some of my most troubling questions out of the way before i actually go through with buying the pieces to start my doomsday of diggin into this project - WHICH I would like to point out, If I accomplish this project I would like to do a write up on it with pictures and all with hopefully kennymo's help and any others if they wish!

I am about to buy the UAS g35 kit along with the dakota autolift. My problem is that I have a subwoofee in my trunk along with a zenclosure. Should I worry about my AS failing on me because of the sub?

I had my air rtide on for about 1 or 2 yrs before I put my car in for complete make over. The air is fine. I had one leak and it was because of stereo install.
