depends on what you wanna do. air cylinders will likely bolt right in, there arent many that have air on a 4th gen. you can also run reg bags too, but you need to have a place to put in a shock. or you can run shockwaves, which is pretty much a coil over type of shock with a bag in place of springs. either way, unless you know how to fabricate stuff and have access to a welder, go to a pro to do it

psssshhhh im a master fabricater i was thinking about using regular bags like trucks do in the back just making like a custom bracket it would be the cheapest way i think because 98 dollar bags are gangsta compaired to 480 dollar struts the front will bolt right up so thats good the rear is just a choad

Dude, I had to reply just because I like reading your posts, their awesome. I love your last line in the firt post!

But I would say its definately possible. I have several friends who built their whole air-ride systems themselves, just like you said, by making all the brackets, lines, solonoids, etc. and pieced everything together, meanwhile saving a HUGE amount of money. Its amazing how cheap everything is from a hardware store compared to air ride companies, and you can make it just as pretty, if not more.

I would use the front strut assem. to mount the bag and buy a camber plate with some sort of custom mount for the top of the bag. The rear to me would be more simple since it is basically a straight axle, and the strut length is shorter.

Grits are awesome too, but only in the south, or grits here in the north suck, its like they are fake.

no offense but if you have to ask how to do something you're not a master anything. i understand you wanted some feedback, but you never mentioned reg bags, just cylinders.

and fabricator is spelled with an o not an e
