Anyone use air ride technologies products, whats the good and bad

[BigTruckDriver]

They come across as being top quality, are they ?

[Itoldyouso]

Yes, they are very good. My Kid has used their stuff for years with no problems and quality is good.

Matter a fact, I'm using 2 small air tanks with 5 of the 5" ones, for my air ride seat in my 34 truck.

Hemroids???

I was thinking about getting this kit ,seems like a lot for 1000 dollars. The shock looks a little short though.

i think tehre compressors are poop. defanatly worth the money to get a viair comp. they are decent company no doubt. they do make tons of stuff to cover a broad range of vehicles. just do not be fooled by cheap imitations such as aim or air ride pro or what ever they call them selves now. their customer support is just as bad as the products they sell. and everything they make is made in mexico. also may want to check out suicidedoors.com for air kits and other parts as well nothing but good things to say about them.

Now that 1lowryd has posted that, it jogged my memory. Dan has said the same thing and uses the vair compressors too. And, yes, Suicide Doors is an exceptional company in all respects. I guess it is like everything else, you buy certain things from one company, and other components from another one.

I have a few Air ride products on my truck (the four link and the digital gauges) and it is definiately nice stuff. Their strong arms are known to have problems withthe ball joints sometimes... but are a great product that no one else offers.

When puttin together your system I would deffiniately shop around. I've always had fantastic service from Larry @ innovativeairsuspension.com

[BigTruckDriver]

What do you mean they have problems with ball joints?

[shawnlee28]

That only happens when you start bouncing the ride off the ground or hang one of the front tires in the air......when you use it in that application,everything is subject to breakage.............

What do you mean they have problems with ball joints?

i have installed atleast 50 airride setup's , never had a problem with balljoints .

I remmber reading that s10 strongarms specifically have a problem with the ball joints... I don't remember the details, but it was a problem that happened with more than one installation. I can't vouch for those people and say that they were or were not operating their system aggresively.

I have researched these arms on chevy talk ,and else where . I was comparing the to the arms that Classic Performance Products makes and was surprised by the response I got. First off I will say that Chevy talk is sponsored by CPP so all other competitors get deleted and CPP parts get pushed. A guy PMed me and said I would not have any luck asking my question there. He gave me a link to another forum that is mainly about lowered chevy trucks. There was nothing but bad to say about CPP a arms. The were also photos from different members showing CPP lack of quality control. Most were issues where the upper ball joints did not fit in the arm and CPP's fix was dont send it back just mount the ball joint under the arm problem solved ,ya right There is a tech from CPP on the forum and when he said they do business a certain way and I told him from experience with CPP they did not , or did not at that time, it got deleted.

Air ride technologies ,from what I have read and seen photos of , do sell a better Quality part. I will by mine from ART!!!

Moral of the story don't by something just because some one says its the best. Do your research!
