    Air ride

     



    I am looking to buy an air ride kit and have seen a few traders selling on Ebay for around the $1000 mark[tank/valves/hoses/fittings/comp/bagsetc]. My question is has anyone had any experience with their kits, are they good or should I go for Air Ride Specialties equipment.

    I sell air ride componets and the main thing you need to watch out for is the valves........ there are a bunch comming in from china they are sold under many different names but stay away from them my supplier bought 500 and had to return alittle over 400 of them as rejects...... the giveaway is that they are less than all the rest......... put some thought into the compressor
    don't be fooled by 100% duty cycle a 33% duty cycle will pump more air at one time than the 100%....... for ex the Viair 400c (33%duty cycle) pumps 2.54 cfm the Viair 450c (100% duty cycle) pumps 1.66 cfm and it's quite a bit more money so UNLESS you need one to run all the time the 400c will do the work quicker

    Hope this helps

    Mr. Mopar do you own a shop here in SoCal. If so let me know, I'm in Pomona, and I'm trying to bag my 56 merc.
