All the dislikes are people who spent $3000+ on their setup and then saw this video 😢😡

[@CARSHOPBLOOM]

Larry haha. Yeah man!! Just tryna help people save money & do it themselves.

[@josephspellman2698]

I think this is a good explanation video to get knowledge out there, but the guy knows what he is doing. Most of the interest I come across is people trying to bag their cars for less than the cost of a quality coil system, which is not the way to go. If you have experience, you can make any system work.

@@CARSHOPBLOOM I just bought mone hope the bags fit my 87 cutlass

[@DatMuslimDad]

No cause that’s how much it cost when you add the other 3 air bags

[@Haze-du7oz]

Good to do what you need to put bags. Doesnt take lots of money to do something custom. Not all are haters for the price. You're saving lots of money, but it's going to cost in quality and maintenance. Those expensive setups have better compressors, manifolds, and valves. Manual valves is a cheaper and easier install, but really it's all depends on the parts and routing. I.e. fittings, air lines. Really depends what you want to do with it..

[@jvntrs5989]

Dumbfounded on how easy it is after seeing this! I feel like we’re going to start seeing ads for , “ air suspension companies hate this guy “ just got explaining how much you can save and how EASY it really is to go with a DIY set up. THANK YOU !

Thanks homie your video really helped me, good looking out ✌️

[@lorenclark6279]

Trying to figure out if you need aftermarket coilovers for the front bags or if you can use the stock struts. I'm betting there's some modification of the stock struts, if you can use them. If you're using coilovers, that's more to the cost of this, too. Not a bad video, but that part is kind of unclear.

Hey man.. can you put the bag on the stock suspension?

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Ok I want to bag my mk4 Jetta in the back only, because I'm making it a Ute and I just want it to sit level. Would the manual setup be the way to go? The bag kit is around 600$ , but these controllers appear to cost almost double that ! I can't see paying that kinda money for it to automatically sit where I want at the touch of a button. I'm a noob , what else should I study up on in the air world ?

[@T0MMY561]

Probably a stupid question but I'm gonna be running air lift bags and this kind of manual set up with it. I see how the air gets from the tank to the bags but when u air out where does the air go if the lines only fill the bag? Does it feed all the way back into the tank?

[@CARSHOPBLOOM]

[@williamsantiago7303]

Mr. Blaine, how are you sir? Great video and VERY informative. I have a question sir, I have a 2015 Honda cr-v 2wd with over sized wheels and tires and they rub a little bit in the rear when I have passengers on the back seats. I would like to know what route I should take to lift the rear of my car? Would I just need air bags and would they fit the stock rear struts or do I need aftermarket struts with air bags already installed in them or would it be cheaper to buy aftermarket struts and then buy airbags for those new struts? I don't need the gauges or a tank or anything like that just a Schrader valve in the back so that way I could just air them up at a gas station wherever I know I'm gonna haul people around. Again thank you for the video and keep up the good work sir, take care my friend. Thumbs 👍up on your video.

[@CARSHOPBLOOM]

William Santiago in your situation I would just get helper bags, you still run your regular suspension but you can fill the bag up when you have a load. They use them in truck that tow to lift the rear from sagging
