so whats the price for that exact setup if everything was purchased through you?

forbidden · 02-04-2005, 09:54 PM

well it would be $2099

FormulaNERD · 02-04-2005, 10:57 PM

sounds pretty good... just out of curiousity, what's a setup for an 02 mustang gt run?

slowandlow · 02-05-2005, 12:13 AM

would you recomend profesonal install or would it be ok for some one like me?

forbidden · 02-05-2005, 12:08 PM

well if you have basic car know how then you could do it.. Its all bolt on.

as far as the mustang ill have to check of the price of the strut bags, most of the stang guys go for speed so I dont have many requests for that car. For the most part I am sure it would be right about the same price as the Alero

forbidden · 02-07-2005, 12:15 PM

let me know if anyone is wanting to do this or if you want to see what it costs to change the kit

will 20x7.5" rims with 225/30/20 tires affect the lowering height with bags?

Yes by 2 inches compared to an 18" rim

forbidden · 02-07-2005, 05:40 PM

it would look better with 20's on it.. You would not have a problem

That's a good price for all that. I'm kinda wishing I didn't get a final 500 'cause I sold the lowrider and miss having bags. they are so much fun! I had Aim industries www.truckin.com air struts up front. had them for around 3 yrs! never a problem at all. Even drove for 60 miles w/ 0 psi b/c i blew a line and had yto get home to fix it. That was fun going that far sitting 3/4" off ground and ride rough as hell. I beat the hell outta them and never a problem. they use the firestone 2500lb bag in them too. They cost me $560 shipped ready to bolt in!

forbidden · 02-08-2005, 10:08 AM

LOL ya I have done the same thing.... Got to love air ride tells...

02-09-2005, 03:02 AM

hey you think 20x8" will fit with the airbags??? i know with regular suspension it hit the spring perch...

forbidden · 02-09-2005, 10:10 AM

I am not sure... If I had to guess I would say you would have problems... I think you would be fine with 20x 7.5 but I know there are not alot of that size around

racin4JC · 02-09-2005, 01:34 PM

Hey forbidden is your stuff all life time warranty and how would you compare it to a kit like air ride tech. if you know some pluses and minuses about them? If your kit is as good as theirs I might be interested in the future (maybe summer when I got some cash)?

as for as the strut bags the air ride tech's are better but they also retail for $995 per an axle. As far as the air managment kit (valves,compressors) My kit is all VERY good brands that will not break down on you. My kit includes the Air lift bag struts that are still VERY good they are right below the air ride tech struts. As far as warranty no matter where you get it from air ride does not come with a warranty. Except for like defects If there is some that breaks and its a manufacture problem then yes it would be covered by a 1 year warranty.

that is why i went with airlift company. everything is warrentied for a year. and the struts/bags are warrentied for life. so when it came time to do install, i chose to have it done proffessionally that way when and if something happened, i could jsut take it somewhere instead of having to deal with it. like when my back bag blew from a razorblade slit in it, i drove it in, dropped it off and he got the part and fixed it and i ahd it back next day. the alero hasnt had one problem since then. the rooster that opened the packaging box used a razor blade and it slit into the airbag, but not all the way through. so when i raised it a few times it gave. but warrenty and having someone else deal with it is sweet

racin4JC · 02-09-2005, 03:25 PM

So your kit that is $2,099 that has everything including struts, compressor, tank, line, controller, fittings, and everything you listed before? Sorry about all the questions just like to research stuff before I pay 2k or 3k for it.

Also
How much drop?
Is that kit 2 way or 4?
Is it plug and play?
Do you have a site I could look at it?

Thanks for you time!

I am a Dealer for Air Lift so as far as a warranty, As statted ON Air lifts site there is a 1 year warranty on the bags. and a lifetime on crimp failure. There is no one the warrants bags for life. These are only if the bag had a manufacture problem. As far as the install gos its not hard you can have it all done within a day. If you start in the morning you will be going "Psst" by the evening. It all bolt in. The compressors, valves also have a 1 year warranty.
