there is another youtuber have c4 corvette project he said "you have to be creative, patient and perseverance " I took that lessons to heart I have c4 crossfire corvette that I purchase car doesnt start I go it started and more fixing to come. I have no idea about any cars but driving them but I got it running I research on google, youtube and from talking to people who owns similar year car. And now I'm familiar with the car this kind of video is really helpful thank you for posting.
...that's an interesting and informative video on air suspension system. I once owned a 1990 Lincoln Continental, that had a built in air suspension system from the factory. I got it from a friend in 2005. The air pressure would regularly fail, due to an air leak in the system and every morning I would find the rear end sitting on the floor, because the airbag would lose air overnight. I never could figure it out, I just figured the system was getting old. One day while the car was jacked up, the air compressor proceeded to air up the system, the rear left wheel airbag blew up, while the car was on jack stands. Don't ask me why. 😂 The system was on it's last leg, when I got the car, it was free anyway. 😂 Anyway, I eventually replaced all the struts/airbag units from the factory, with coil struts from a Ford Taurus, that I obtained from a salvage yard. The whole swap cost me about $40. I also pulled out the air compressor, and gave it all away. FYI, the rear coils on those struts, from a Taurus, aren't strong enough to carry a Continental, you need stiffer ones, but they worked up until 2009. After looking at this video, I'm wondering if I could have fixed the airbag problem on the Continental with Check valves, which would have prevented any one single airbag from releasing all the air, that was stored in the airlines to each pair of bags. I eventually stopped driving that Continental in 2009-2010, I literally abandoned it, at an empty parking lot. 😂
There's a switch in the trunk to cut the air suspension off and some were on the passenger foot well. I've repaired in the past a million of those systems. Back in the day the Stealership(Dealership) would charge $800 per side to fix it when all it be is an O-ring leaking air on the airline. A spray bottle filled with water and dishwashing liquid was my friend in finding the leak EASILY.
Consider adding another switch for the front suspension. Getting the front to stay even after lifting is hard. Without a swaybar it is almost impossible.
I've seen people using their AC compressor or their vehicle to eliminate the air compressor sound. It's pretty dope and it airs up pretty quick. They even makes the car hop
Hey bro I’m really trying to do this also. I also got an Altima a 2010 coupe you think I can dm you or something and could you please tell me exactly what process you did
Bags should NEVER be connected in parallel, worst case scenario being on the same axle. As LNM Performance correctly pointed out, when turning, the center of gravity will tend to keep going straight, thus creating the natural rolling effect on the car. Rolling 'toward' the outer wheels will compress the outer curve bags, which will send the air exactly to the inner curve bags, therefore AMPLIFYING the roll !! This is a recipe for DISASTER. In the least, will bring the OPPOSITE of safety conditions in cornering. Please consider this with much care, even more so, with the notorious view numbers.. Thank you.
Take a look at this article, credits included : " Two-Way Versus Four-Way When air suspension was first introduced to hot rodders in the mid-'90s, a two-way control system was the standard method of inflating and deflating the suspension. In other words, both air springs on each axle were hooked together. This kept things simple, requiring only one control valve per axle. However, it quickly became apparent that during cornering, the outside (or loaded) air spring tried to transfer air to the inside (unloaded) spring, magnifying body-roll issues. Sometimes the problem can be minimized on a light car by installing big antisway bars, but nowadays, nearly everyone uses a four-way system, which plumbs and controls each airbag separately. Although this requires an individual control valve and air line for each spring, it cures all air-transfer problems, plus it allows precise control over vehicle ride height to compensate for varying weight, suspension bind, or alignment changes. " www.hotrod.com/articles/hrdp-0701-air-suspension/
I would suggest rethinking your valve setup...its not that much more to add a few valves and have control. My setup i had 8 smc 3/8 valves. 4 fill and 4 dumps. You can wire them to have 2 lift the from at the same time and rear etc. I had issues with tying in one line to 2 bags...my truck rode like crap. The extra valves dramatically improved ride quality.
Ok I have to ask man what is it you could say in the video? You were talking about the air compressor and cut out and just said "No I don't wanna say that" lol the suspense is killing me. Thanks for sharing this I love bagged trucks and a classic bagged pickup is on my project list for the future so information like this is very valuable to me.
That relay is what causes compressor to fail. It's really too small. Use a PAC solenoid. Yes, it's more money, but it will save you hours of head scratching as to why compressors keep burning up. Or why relays are melting. I learned this trick years ago. And I've never lost another compressor ever since then. No matter how small or cheap the compressor may be.
Optd for the bigger compressor. I bought this one and on a half gallon tank/train horn set up it burnt up in 6 months. Called airmaxx and they said no rebuild kit. Bought the bigger compressor. No problems 1 year in
Hey WideBand im new to the channel and you might of answered this before but how do I know what weight these bags can handle. Specifically if I was to use them to lift a pickuptruck or something? is there a rating or math i have to do before hand?
not sure if you’re still answering comments on this video, but do you have a different link for the bag fittings? the link doesn’t work now and i’d love to find those. have everything else saved
I am curious to see how long the cheeper stuff holds up. I have always been picky with what air ride parts I used. If I have something go wrong things get complicated really quick given how low I build my stuff. I am still watching the video at the time I am typing this lol
So far it's been fine my biggest complaint has been the cheap air line not locking in to the ptc fittings the best and leaking here and there. Bags are fine, compressor is fine.
@@wideband hey there, I saw your video. I have a toyota camry 2015. I live in New York City. Is this system compatible with my car? Is the brand of the whole system called airmaxx?
Only need two paddle valves, the front two bags get Teed into each other as well as the rear, one switch airs up both fronts and the other switch will air up both back bags.
I've seen many people selling it used, I don't know is there a major problem with these kind of hydraulic And most of them in my country are coming from airslamit. Com are they good or after sometime it's creating a problem and youll be stranded 😅😅😅
That car has struts in the front so you will either need an air strut or a double sleeved bag, I'm not sure what the rear looks like, maybe cups could work there. The prebuilt kit I found for that car was an Air Lift Performance kit that was 3700-4000 US Dollars.
Hey guys, I'm installing bag riders manual management. The paddle valves have 1 and 2 numbered behind them does it make a difference where I put the bag lines ? Anything helps thanks
couldn't i just hook up presta-valves in all four corners and just fill/deflate manually? i was thinking about having presta valves in all four corners and jut having a portable compressor. trying to avoid to have to make room for tank,compressor, etc.
You mean Schrader valves. Presto valves are for narrow bicycle rims like on road bikes. Yes they are easier to put air in, but likewise you need to keep them tight. Kind of a specialty for an auto application, and besides, the air chuck for schrader valves are everywhere, at every gas station, garage, etc. Or, go your own way.,..
@@wideband Okay thanks. Im thinking if I could manage to bag my 1991 Mitsubishi Galant. But its difficult to find the parts for less than thousands of dollars where I live. And I need help from someone to make the cylinders to make it fit my car.

Don’t run a t when you turn air will go from one bag to the other causing your car to roll
Some people have done it with no issue, I wanna try it and if it feels sketch I'll upgrade to 4 valves and separate lines.

Semis and semi trailers link all 4 rear bags together, with a proper anti-sway setup it's not an issue
I was going to say the same thing. It's alright for towing, but it's the worst thing for cornering
Are you just dumping the air back into the tank? I only saw two ports on your switch.

Yeah I ended up with 4 paddle valves cause it wasn't that much extra work and only 30 bucks more.

Please post more to this
Working on install right now, all that's left is powdercoating the cups and running air lines.

Did you do your car I need one for a 55 mercury 2dr Ang suggestion and were did he get the equitment
Great video, without a bunch of stupid frills!

How heavy is the car? I have a smart fortwo 750kg, i would surely be able to use smaller tank?
Where are your air valves to operate the air system? Usually its 4 valves to operate both front and both rear for an Front/back setup.
Only need two paddle valves, the front two bags get Teed into each other as well as the rear, one switch airs up both fronts and the other switch will air up both back bags.
Doing any project no matter how much $$ you have or willing to put. Make it upgradeable and plan for the worst. Accidents and breakage.
So I can put this kit on any car ? I have a 1991 camaro rs you think these bags will do the job?
Thinking of bagging my scooter. This gonna fit?
How do I find out what size of bags I need?
