Learn everything there is to know about how to install a versatile and
capable air ride system.
Air suspension used to be expensive, difficult to install, and complex
to figure out. But that was years ago. Today, thanks to kits made for
virtually every make and model of car and truck, plus the popularization
of automatic digital levelling kits, it's easier than ever to take a
vehicle and put it on the ground. With a properly installed air ride
suspension, you can set your height wherever you like, lay your ride on
the asphalt when you want, and even tear through the corners like you're
driving a slot car. But here's the most important part: it's just cool.
Having an air-bagged vehicle isn't restricted to one vehicle class or
another. While it originally became popular with mini trucks, it soon
caught on with street rods, cars, and motorcycles, and even traditional
lowriders have embraced the scene. That's because where previous
adjustable suspensions had their problems, air ride setups are quite
often cleaner and easier to maintain. It all depends on how it's
installed and managed.
In How to Install Air Ride Suspension Systems, air ride veteran Kevin
Whipps walks you through everything you need to know about installing an
air suspension onto pretty much anything. After going through the basics
of each component, he explains how it all works together in
easy-to-understand terms that make it simple for even the mechanically
challenged. By the end of it all, you'll know more about air suspension
than you thought was possible and have a clear understanding of what you
need to do to bag your ride.
