🙌 Thanks Dude! really appreciate that 😎
Nice informative video Steve and yeah sorry I was one of those with a lot of those questions for you 🤣 cheers mate.
Thanks Andy, 🙌. That’s all good buddy, it’s a great way to share knowledge and for people to pick things up from others on this platform so the more questions raised the better 👌👍
Thanks so much for your vids on this .. off to Lancashire next month , with my black edition for the abp 3h set up 👍
Awesome!!!👌👌. Say hello to the fellas from me 🙌😎
@@SteveField certainly will 👍
Hi Steve! Good information as usual!Im looking forward to your review of the DRL headlights...i've got the stock ones with the H4 bulbs and their performance really sucks! Nice campsite and landscape in Dorset! Would love to come over
for ex. to the Busfest an then a tour....f☆☆☆ the virus.Stay safe! 😎
Thanks Buddy! Yes its all sucking a little bit with the virus still lingering at the moment but lets hope this vaccine will make an impact for next year so the shows can restart... will deffo make a review on the headlights too 🙌👍
A really informative video. This is just the information I need. The one thing I'd lke to ask is the actual cost of your air ride set up..a bit cheeky I know. Great channel keep up the great work.
🙏thanks buddy. Yes I don’t mind sharing that I paid £5650 for all the kit and that included the fitting at AR Tuning 👍
@AXIS 😂😂 no comment ha ha... 😜
Another good video Steve. Glad I wasn't the only one questioning you on social media. Mine is all bought and being fitted mid December. With regard to your 4 wheel alignment. as far as I'm aware the camber at the rear can not be adjusted as standard did you get the aftermarket bushes to allow for camber adjustment?
🙌Thanks buddy, ah no plenty of questions from many subscribers and always happy to help👍. (Where I can). Great news that you have bought a system👍. I bet you can’t wait to have it fitted😎
The 4 wheel alignment really only compliments the toe in that you get when you lower the vehicle that much and that’s what was killing my tyres... it basic meant that by not aligning to my new driving height I was scrubbing tyres every mile I clocked up. Highly recommend getting it done once you have decided on your daily driving height 👍
@steve. Did you have the arches cut out when you had your air ride fitted. If you don’t want the bump stops etc cut out will airride still fit? Just not go as low?
I must admit that can looks 😎😎🤙
👍🙌
I got on order T6.1 lwb 4motion to be converted to campervan, ready in the spring. going to get air suspension but after reading all the comments about vb air suspension that the company fit, am having doubts, as I don't think it will go low enough. I have followed your videos 👍 and prefer what you have done, air all out for safety and for me get it in the garage, what is height measurement now when all out.
Keep up the good work.
Gary 👍
Hi Gary Sounds very nice van dude! exciting times.
Yes VB air will only air down to something like a 60mm lowered Van fully airred out but is far more comfortable at the raised attitudes so Airlift probably better for you. I am not sure what the van height is now airred out I would have to check it but if you are on insta send me your insta detals and I will forward you an useful image..👍
@@SteveField Hi Steve, thanks for the reply, names Mgfgary on there and that will be what I'm towing.
Cheers Gary
Boa tarde ! Bom domingo!!! 👏👏👏
🙌👌
Gonna go on your recommendation Steve and get same kit as yours couple of questions pls who did you buy off ?,do AR tuning sell them?How long to fit ?and finally if you did it all again would you buy any other bits different for kit,Oh and also what is the exact kit etc ive looked and seems like a mine field I plan on using AR as they are very close to me anyhow 👍cheers in advance
Hi Buddy, Really sorry I have just noticed your comment from a few weeks back!! did you get all the info you wanted or would you still need any?
First thing I'm going to do next year is put air suspension on my T6. I'll be in position to buy T6, probably SWB DSG, no older than 2016. T32 150. I'm expecting to pay between 30 and 30k. If you're reading this.. your T6 is 2018, was it a panel van or Kombi? If it was a panel van, how come you didn't get a Kombi if you wanted windows? 🤔
Hey Scott Hope you find your perfect project van! Mine is in fact a factory Kombi, I have just added the 3rd row glass to let light into the rear when we are using it.👍👍
Awryt mate, did you have to get any modifications to your inner arches?
The only inner arch mod is the letterbox cut out to the plastics in the top of the front arch. It’s in the fitting guides to be done but other than that all inners are still on the van and intact👍
Hi Steve, can I ask the cost of getting the air ride system inc installation ?
Hi buddy, the total cost for the setup installed was £5650 all in👍
Great info Steve have thought about this but always been bothered about the reliability of the system, lots of questions answered here great vid 🤙
🙌Thanks Richard, Yes its very important to me also that I can rely on the system so I can make the long trips to Europe when everything returns to normal. very pleased so far 👍👍
Hi Steve, can you tell me if you had any chassis cut to get it that low thanks Aston.
Hi Aston, No extra chassis or hub mods buddy that is a stock ABP 3p. Airride drop installed as per kit manual 👍
Thanks Steve keep on making the great vids 👍
Been very interested in your videos about this as I’m likely to be going down this road too. Really helpful thanks. Currently on B14s, fairly low but not slammed, and the range of height yours has now looks just what I’m looking for.
One question though, when it’s at full height for rough roads, how does it handle pot holes? Does it crash and bang cos there’s so much pressure in to raise it up? I’m looking for being able to drive on badly surfaced forestry roads etc when camping.
Thanks buddy ☺️. The van is not best suited to driving fully aired up as your rite it offers a hard rebound effect which is not good for prolonged driving. Absolutely fine for an occasional lead in driveway but just wouldn’t be any good for off road style use. The VB air is better suited as it works more or less the opposite way around.
@@SteveField Thanks, the only problem is that VB doesn’t really go low enough for every day driving for me. Guess I want what can’t have. Decisions decisions...
@@HiruS22 and on any air system if you were to Daily drive at the max end of the suspension it would ruin the ride quality. Sound to me like your an Airride customer like me 😎🤙
@@SteveField Did you have the arches cut out when you had your air ride fitted. If you don’t want the bump stops etc cut out will airride still fit? Just not go as low?
@@martincook6556 Only a little section is trimmed in the top of the front arch liner, nothing from the rear arch so at least 90 percent of my plastics are intact. I do think they have to trim the bump stop though! i think it was so the bags can be seated properly but i am not 100% I could be wrong on that!
As a rough guide, how much would the air ride suspension set up set me back?
Your looking between 4K and 5.5k the variables are the full spec that you go for i.e single compressor or dual etc....
@@SteveField thankyou 👍🏼
Did you ad H&R anti roll bars to this set up?
Not yet, but thinking about that 👍
Air is overatted hydraulic is the way forward
