How to Know if Your Air Suspension is Topping Out?

Have you ever seen in a car on Air Ride that looks really rough our bouncy? The issue could be as simple as a bolt the installer overlooked while tightening everything down, but it could be something more serious. This week, Will from Bag Riders gets into the nitty gritty of topping out.

This video came at a great time, I've definitely been noticing a sound in the front when I'm going through bumpy roads. I had a feeling it had something to do w the air struts. Looks like that must it, topping out...I def need to adjust my ride height.

[@bagriders]

For sure! Try dropping the pressure to see if that resolves it.

Great video

[@lucidphts709]

what if hear the noise when going into and out of a steep driveway/entrance? is it the same thing or a separate issue?

[@bagriders]

That is likely to be the sound of topping out, but it's okay if you're aired up temporarily to get over/into something. What is NOT okay is setting the car up to top out all the time.

Hey so I’m following the recommended psi and height for my gr86 on Bag Riders Super Lows. However I hear the rear topping out, if I fill the bag with more psi it doesn’t happen as often, any recommendations?

[@bagriders]

I see that we recommend 40PSI in the PDF manual. What are you testing it at when you said you're adding more? What does the ride quality feel like at your new pressure?

[@DaveyA]

@@bagriders around 50psi the ride quality feels about the same, maybe a little bit more stiff
