Default ?? 4 U guys on bags

what u guys think about this kit? It has FBSS (front/back/side to side) most of you guys with bags on this forum don't mention they have side to side feature. http://www.airbagit.com/product-p/fbs-lex-05-kit3.htm

Never mentioned cause its just not a topic... Most if not all have it, unless the have a 7 switch switchbox, heck even a 7switch can go side to side, its just more work cause theres not a designated switch for it. Its not the kit that makes it go side to side, its the switch box. As long as you have 8 valves, you can achieve anything. Also, I've heard only a few times that that air-in-a-box kit has had problems. but again, its not the kit, its just the switchbox that makes you do what you want.

actually if you look at that set up, it only has 4 switches. so you are only limited to 1 switch for each bag. a switch box has designated switches for multiple bag control. I'm sure you could wire those 4 to give you four basic functions, but with 4 switches, not much you can do except front up front down, rear up rear down. left up left down, right up right down. idk, just my opinion, but I like having more control

but hey, some dont need all the switches

FBSS just means u have individual controls on each corner. ive heard sketchy reviews on the quality of airbagit parts but im not to sure.

..also

3 gallon tank is TINY!!!

70on 120off Pressure Switch - not good if u wanna ride at 140 psi n up...

doesnt come with bags...

compressor name unknown..

for 2k... just get a ksport kit for a few benjies more and buy 4 more valves to do FBSS (instead of the original FB).

HOLY DANG!!! I didnt even see that! No bags for that price? I'll pass (even faster than before )

so technically this isnt even for a GS... its just universal.

thats a crap setup. u'd want something much better. 3 gal tank isnt enough, plus its at 120psi in the tank only. if u want full up, it takes 120psi per bag

I believe you're correct, if you read under the pic, it says, "All parts below are assembled and included in kit"

What upsets me is that it seems kind of shady. Looks like they carefully worded everything to make you purchase the kit and when you get it you find that you're screwed paying for a complete kit, but still have to spend another grand for bags!
