Re: "Budget" air kit definitions please!

Bags + installation brackets & hardware (if required)
Shocks (spec'd or relocation brackets that allow the use of off the shelf replacement C10 shocks).
Airline + necessary fittings
Installation hardware for the bags

Air Mgt
Paddle valves (budget/basic)
compressor/s
air tank/s
gauges
+ related installation items (inline fuses, relays, fittings etc)

Obviously one can do bags w/schraders but that would mean getting the hard parts & not using an air mgt set-up. I would recommend schraders only for temporary use....

Scotts groups are good way to market the options. First drop down menu is hard parts and second one is air management. The first option should be a complete basic setup with everything needed. Then ad ons or upgrades that work with the first selection. That way you know what you can get that fits your budget but also know the baseline will get you what you need to get up and running on air.
