Check out some of the kits on ebay. That will get you started. Also check out Air Ride Technologies.

 

air ride technologies are amazing.

 

Air ride technologies stuff is nice but way way expensive. Alot of their stuff isn't known to layframe either without alot of modifications.

Start looking at suicidedoors.com for stuff like parts and link kits.

For a cheap setup it's not going to be fast going up and down, it's not going to have a fast recovery time, and it's probly just going to be f/b. Probly going to be an over the axel setup to as lever setups are a bit more expensive.

Go to bagginit.com and read and read on their to get a basic understanding on how the systems work.
