    Nice descriptive video. I'm doing my own airshocked beetle at the momment. Having the air balancing out between the two bags is an issue, but its not really a problem for cruising. The front end is very light, and the swaybars will take up alot of the roll. If you have the stock swaybar thats a bonus, but If you are running stock torsions with no grubscrews on adjusters, your torsions perform as a swaybar too. If you are running through-rods through it will be far worse.
    Thanks for the vid

    I love it when your cat decided to cast in your video! What brand and model air shocks and compressor did you use?

  • @JohnnyType2
    @JohnnyType2 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @NELODOMI1 its where Airkewld recommend you put the compressor, those guys know their onions. They are located in Phoenix so no rain but i doubt they would put it somewhere its going to get damaged.

    It would be cool if you had a 1/4" Npt Female Brass Connect on your system that would allow you to hook up a air hose using a a male npt plug to fill up your tires with when ever you needed to.

    hi I was just wondering if there's any way to air ride the front with the stock beam (in other words is there any cheap way to do this?) I have a 1973 standard beetle and I just want to air ride the front mainly for looks

  • @luisyvital
    @luisyvital 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does this set up help with scraping up steep driveways? How much approximate cost?

  • @Lonnie91a
    @Lonnie91a 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good video. Get rid of those trailer connectors and morette connectors though. They will work themselves loose. Not good for automotive installs.
