As for parts list, just call the guys at airbagit.com. I bought the Smartride system to have digital control, but those parts have improved since my purchase 2+ years ago. I also upgraded the air engine to better valves. It is a little of a DIY project, but not too difficult if you have a mechanical and/or car stereo installation background.

Cool. We are like brothers then
I used to build IASCA competition cars back in the late 1990s. One more thing about the rear.... You need to cut off the bump stop metal mounts in the rear. They are on the top side of the springs - get them as close to the upper perch as you can. You can then just drill into the lower perches and bolt the bag directly to that. The upper one is where I routed the airline and I only drilled for the line and the mount up there. The upper mounting bracket will give you enough clearance to clear the bump stop metal and you'll want to pull out the "ears" a little of the perch (round them out to where the metal is a 45 degree angle with pliers), as they will otherwise eventually slice into the airbag upper bellow.
Good luck
