Years ago there was a kit out for the TJ that did just this. It didn’t go anywhere. If you hadn’t mentioned this I wouldn’t have even remembered it. As I mentioned in my note below, if the target price is missed it won’t sell…or only to a very small market.
That was my first thought! Even just removing a degree or 2 of roll can really help the seat of the pants feel. This could also help with pitch, but thats much less of a concern considering how much longer wheelbase's are vs track width.
@@wayalifethe air kit looks like the same thing you find in semi trucks and large transit bus, l work on these large transit bus with this type of setup, they are reliable, they do need servicing replacement on the air bags when they leaks, leveling valve and blocks.
He said 3.5” lift on a wrangler only allows for 35’s with this kit, I get him being a manufacturer and saying that, I would imagine 37’s on a rubicon with this kit would be easy peasy. If not, it will lose major market share as let’s be honest, 37’s are the minimum these days. Stoked to see future videos!
Correct, you can easily run 37's on a JL especially with a Rubicon but their kit has its FMVSS 126 compliant handling certification based on 35's. That's the only reason they state that.
I have last years setup on a jl sport and I run 37’s no problem. 37’s are actually what the jl demo for this product are running. They have multiple videos on you tube showing the Jeep.
Since they removed the sway bar disconnect I’d like to see the articulation on the trail, plus with the rock crawling that you do the durability is going to be tested as you slide up and over the rocks.
We will be sure to show how this Jeep performs out on the rocks. As far as durability goes, I can't say that I've ever hit my coils with rocks before but I suppose anything is possible.
RIght on. I'd like to have that sway bar on a windy Wyoming highway day. There's definitely a time for stiff. When extreme crawling, wonder if they've got limit straps to avoid overextending the bags. That negative stretch is a lot of wear and tear and not really what they are designed for. In brush, I'd also think that ripping out airlines is a constant risk. Also thinking about the skid compressor mounting - how will that work with aftermarket belly pans and other aftermarket armor? Probably a fail or cutting/welding. Anyhoo ... does not seem like a robust offroad solution. Great for weekend warrirors with trailers or that haul lots of stuff -- which I guess is 99% of Gladiator owners anyway. Wonder if this thing fits standard aftermarket inner fenders? Not a hater - I think this is so cool. Just thinking ahead for a few things.
Really curious to see the feedback on this. I had run across these earlier and had a factory air system on my 2016 Ram Rebel. Never off roaded it, but loved the system. The fact it auto adjusts the leveling when you add weight/mods or tow could be a game changer too.
@@wayalife I am now. I have been enjoying your videos for a little over a year now. Actually looking at making the trip from Illinois to Arizona this summer based on some of them.
I think so too. Certainly, it isn't cheap but there are kits out there that cost more and do less. Made in the USA makes a big difference to me as well.
I was bummed because I noticed they never showed it lowering/raising while they were talking. Every time I'd be waiting to see and they'd zoom in on his fingers on the app or something that nobody cares about. They'd quickly cut to a close-up where it was probably sped up. All I wanted to see was what it looked like as it adjusted in real time - unfortunately never happened.
@Hill Hammer [Nasty Boys Dirt Club] LOL - sorry we chose to do some editing to help make our video more interesting but there was no slight of hand going on here or things sped up as you seem to be imagining. The 3 gallon air tank exists to help ensure rapid airing up and the purge valve really does let out that much air. We'll try to do our best to show you how fast it really is and in a way that your eyes will believe in a future video. But clearly, you can believe whatever it is you want to believe 🤪
Had a similar system in my grand Cherokee overland. It was awesome at all settings except rock, which was intended to provide maximum lift but actually made the suspension stiff as a rock. I hope that’s not your finding as well. Watching this series to see the outcome. Cheers!
Really looking forward to learning more about your experiences with the Acuair system. Can it take off road driving? How well does it air up your tires? Will those bladders hold up & not burst after a year or more off-road use? Sounds awesome & I hope those answers make me want to spend $6-7k
Cool product and I hope the company does well but not for me- ever. After wheeling an LR4 with air sus I will never have air sus on an offroad rig again. My LR4 was actually extremely reliable throughout its life, but the one thing that gave me a nagging feeling when I was wheeling was the air sus. The LR4 system would drop to bump stops if there was a system fault, and of course if it loses air. With oversized tires you are jammed in your own wheel wells and stranded. It did it once to me, although luckily only 2 miles from home on roads and was able to crawl home. But had I needed articulation- I would have been stranded. There are also so many more failure points- the compressor, the lines, the bags, the computer, and they’re not fixable on a trail unless you go carrying around another entire system. Also usually air bags lose articulation as they fill. So you have your choice of either height or articulation, but usually not both. You need to get this on an RTI ramp and compare it at each setting height to a non air sus Jeep of same height lift. Yes they have benefits, being able to raise and lower is nice for loading and unloading, fitting into parking decks, maybe getting you off a high center (I never used it for this once), but to me the negatives outweigh the positives for anything but a pavement princess. The old schoolness of the Jeep Gladiator is exactly why I’m in it. Look forward to the upcoming vids. But take a buddy with you.
This system is very impressive and I can’t wait to see it on the trail I have been hesitant to lift my wrangler as my wife has trouble getting in and out of anything above ride height so this system looks like it has solved that This is the reason I love your channel so much you bring the best stuff for wrangler owners
Awesome! Always happy to know that people like you are appreciative of the content we provide. And yes, you can lower this system to your bump stops making it super easy to get in and out of your Jeep. Once you're off, it'll automatically go back up to ride height.
Bags on trucks lifted or lowered been around...like a while. Downside is, you get a leak, a puncture , or hardware issue and your lift is, not a lift.I own air setups, have been doing air setups for over 20yrs..I wouldnt put one on a offroad vehicle unless its designed like a Military MRAP and the airbags are Protected, Where these are Not. Thanks for the Video🍿🍻
LOL - well, we were given the green light to drive and "wheel" this rig like we would any of our Jeeps. And, we plan to do just that! Hope you check back with us to see our upcoming videos.
I really curious how the airbags will hold up to constant clay/muck/wet dirt road stuff; I live on the worst dirt road ever and it is a constant battle to keep my rock slide rock sliders from bounding up. Please test for these conditions; freezing conditions with the gunk is even worst.
Looks like something cool for yuppie mall crawlers... I'll stick with my ORIs for far less and let me remove sway bars, shocks, springs, bump stops and limit straps and run 40s or 42s.I will stay tunes to see your thoughts on it offroad.
The factory one I had on my Ram was great for lowering so my dad who I was shuttling to medical appoints could easily get in and out. He would not have been able to do that if it was at factory or lifted height. He can't get in my lifted Jeep and I would love to be able to take him Jeeping. If this can handle light to moderate trails it would be a great potential solution.
Wow, game changer here. So much value for that buy in price and Made in America........Well I know which route I'm going when my Mojave Fox 2.5 shocks are ready to be serviced.
While I have a JT Rubicon, I also have a 2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with an air suspension in which I have run trails like Elephant Hill. Got to say I love the idea of having air on a JT. Can’t wait to see how it does!
I wonder if the dirt, mud, or salt would get into the air suspension system causing problems long term.... looking forward to seeing you in taking these new stuff to the trail... I have a teraflex lift myself but dont mind switching to something like this..
We don't have salt issues where we live but I could see that being a potential problem. Otherwise, we hope to test what we can out and share it here on our TH-cam channel :)
I could definitely see a super nice ride usually air suspensions are really like riding on a cloud it will be interesting to see how it's flexibility is
Thank you so much Eddie , for taking the time to send me this link . Don’t know how the hell i missed this one . I have been here with you for many years and have watched every video you and your wife have ever made . I must be slacking 😂😂😂
I would love a video where you explain some of the advantages of the different suspensions. Like the EVO double throw down. Coil overs. When is it good to make the jump from coil-shock to coil overs. What is the advantage of the second shock in the double throw down. Etc. I love you information videos.
For sure, you will see axle shift at different heights but from what we've seen, it isn't enough to really notice or matter. Caster really isn't an issue with FAD but the rear pinion will need to be set for standard ride height.
I put a full suspension kit on my Mojave (less the shocks and the hydrolic jounce stops) with new rocker and control arms to keep the drive shaft angle to a certain range. I wonder how or if that's accomplished with this set up....
You would set your drive shaft to whatever standard all around setup you plan on running on a regular basis. When driving at speeds of over 25 mph, that's what the system will default to.
Similar to AiROCK from about 20 years ago? Unsure if Off Road Only is still selling that setup, but the Accuair seems a bit more straightforward and complete for similar or less money. Packaging/quality looks OE on this setup, I'm sure they will sell plenty!
Clearly, a guy who's been doing this Jeep thing for a while LOL! Yes, similar but more up to date and modern. Price point is better and the quality of parts is all there. I think they will do well.
@@wayalife haha, yes there was a shop in Grover Beach that built AiROCK and nth degree Jeeps. I had a 03 TJR at the time and used to drool over their setups. Took a break for about 12 years and now have a 06 LJR 🙃
If only money was not an issue. I'd choose this over a standard lift. I have airbags in my truck and the ride is so smooth. Would love to have this in my jeep someday.
Well, I'm not sure I can answer that based on experience or at least, in the short amount of time that we'll have this Jeep but I will see what I can find out and share it with you.
@@wayalife I just ask bc of the product upfront cost being high....and the amount of labor required to install. Id definitely want such a product to be bullet proof for a long time. If components needed replaced every few years....its probably not worth buying for the average joe
Can these things handle load? I mean like aggressive bumps or so. We drive in the desert, it is very bumpy and on high speeds. The shocks are still there I understand, but will these things hold?
Cool overview. I came across these recently for both Jeep and Bronco. Would love to hear impressions on ride quality at the different height levels. Sounds like they engineered it to keep a constant rate, so hopefully it rides the same regardless of how much pressure is in the bags.
Definitely a cool idea... I can see many benefits for sure. My biggest question is... how much flex? More than stock? Less than stock? Typically bags are pretty limited in stroke. Proprietary bags need to be replaced every several years due to dry rot, so better hope the company is around and still making replacements down the road.
I think you'll be surprised at how much flex you can get out of this kit. Please subscribe and we'll be sure to show you what it can do out on the rocks soon. As far as the bags go, ACCUAIR is telling me they should last at least 100k miles and if any fail before then, they will replace them free of charge. Last but not least, Arnott is now the owner of the company and you can be sure they will be around for a long time to come.
@@wayalife agreed, but I’ve never even considered coilovers. What I was looking for, is a way to keep my stocks on my diesel in order to maintain good mpg to work. Then bolt my 37s on when going to the trails. I need a lift that can do both of those while not rubbing and not looking like a roller skate.
Hey Eddy, long time follower here, I think myself and other fellow jeepers are interested to see how it compares side by side to a standard 3.5 inch coil spring lift kit of similar make up. Mostly I’m interested to see how it flex’s! Keep us posted!
I’ve owned a few cars with accuair struts installed. I would love to see my gladiator with that kit. Anyway you can hook a heavy tow load up and let us know how the ride is with it auroleveled?
Looks really cool, perhaps something we’ll see in the next generation. My number one question though is it’s reliability and real world functionality off road.
Honestly, I don't think flex is the point of a suspension system like this but we will for sure test that out and share what it can do with you. Hope you check back for future videos.
Im sure the air bags will hold up to whatever you throw at them. Ive ran airlift and accuair products on my cars for years. As long as you install everything properly and keep airlines away from pinch points and heat sources youll be fine. one thing to keep in mind, is to keep airline antifreeze in your system during the winter to prevent ie build up Remember semi trucks run air bags.
I think you're right and hope to find out for myself. As far as winter goes, I was told to add air compressor oil to the system. Is there something better you would recommend?
I've asked that question to ACCUAIR on a forum (I live in northern Canada) and I copy/paste their answer here: "We do recommend adding a few ounces of air brake antifreeze to the system during extreme cold temps."
I am currently running the original kit that was introduced at sema last year on my 2021 jl. I got to admit that the concept of this setup is really nice, however, I’ve had a lot of problems out of my ride height sensors not wanting to stay in range. Accu air tech support is pretty much non existent. Now with that being said, after 7 months of taking the Jeep back to the installer multiple times, accu air is going to send me the new control arms from the new kit that was just displayed in the video. Fingers crossed that those will fix my problem. Other than the ride height sensors giving me trouble, i have to say that i am overall impressed with this set up and the ride it provides.
It should be noted that ACCUAIR had actually gone out of business and had since been acquired by a new company called Arnott. I was told that they are replacing ALL of the original kits with their new one. If you have any other issues, I would recommend that you contact them directly.
Hey Rocky, I spoke with ACCUAIR about the problems you have and they really want to speak with you. They're quite sure you still have an older kit and would like to fix that. Please reach out to them directly as they are eager to help you out! :)
@@wayalife Thank you for going above and beyond to help me out. I really appreciate it greatly thank you I will definitely reach out to them. Up until this point I have only went through my installer, so I will definitely reach out.
The compressor is connected to a 3 gallon tank. The compressor almost never turns on during regular driving. If you lower the suspension and then raise it up, it will come on for a bit but being that it's located under the passenger side back corner of the truck, you can barely hear it.
That’s pretty awesome that you get to do the R&D. That JT is in for a ride 😂. (“Use it as we would any of our Jeeps”.) All in all, looks like a cool concept for city use and light wheeling. Interested to see how it flexes and articulates while wheeling.
Cool indeed, but the elephant in the room is the $7000 cost. Many, if not the majority of us already have an air system, which would make mine a +$900 paperweight. Unless the pricing was cut in half and there was a retrofit for a dual ARB, it is a novelty I’ll do without. Additionally, there was no comment, which I’m sure you’ll cover in an upcoming update video, regarding the noise/volume of the interior mounted air compressor. There was a short blip in this video where you could hear it cycle on, but it was from the exterior.
LOL - there's always ebay! But, in all seriousness, it's definitely pricey and out of reach for most people. Where it's really worth considering is for the guy who can afford coilovers or some of the high end long arm kits out there. This system actually costs less than them.
@@michaelwait3326 The compressor is NOT inside the Jeep. It's located on the skid plate underneath the Jeep along with the air tank. You can barely hear it.
That's awesome. I'm looking forward to your videos where you'll be testing this gladiator. Hopefully one day, a system like this will be available in Australia too.
my take is that it's a very thoroughly thought out system ... It's 3.5" for any speeds over 25mph, but any level under that speed ? .. curious to know what the maximum lift is to get off that dang rock ;-)
LOL - actually, they had the #1 setting on the controller set to 1.5". That is the minimum lift you can drive on and what we've been using for highway speeds. We have seen a measurable improvement in mpg with it that low. I will cover max height and lowest setting in our next video.
Ride quality is 100% subjective but in my opinion, the ride is better than most 3.5" lift kits. Maybe the better comparison is that it's firmer than a stock 2-door sport but feels about what a stock Rubicon feels like.
Hmm but the factory spring suspension allows up and down articulation but does this air system do the same ? Im still wondering how this can work in serious off roading situations
Once you reach full height can the suspension still raise up like springs for artuculation ? Raising up is one thing but when you hammer down after going over that rock or big bump will the suspension allow the wheel to go up into the wheelwell ?
Excuse me , in desert is it good and reliable, I'm from Saudi Arabia and we have a lot of heavy sand that we need to go through, also in roads trips between cities is it good and I can go to 140 kilometers??
Being that I just took possession of this Jeep, I can't say for sure but hope to find out through my testing out in the Nevada desert. I am told however that it will hold up well and on road, I can tell you that it rides great.
What about the durability of this bag. I like to drive on rock but where i am we drivre in forest and sometime we run tru bush and tree branch. The bag can be use in this condition ?
Questions, do they make it for a 2 door rubi? How does it hold things in correct alignment without all that hardware? What happens if you blow a bag or two and don't have all the hardware? I'm not made of money but this might be worth the investment.
Unfortunately, it is not made for a 2-door but mainly because there is no where to put the compressor and air tank. I know they are working on a solution for a diesel and 4Xe and assuming they do, I would think you could use the same setup on a 2-door.
So far, we haven't found cold to be an issue and it is designed to periodically purge water from the system. I'll try to cover this in greater detail in a future video.
When you change the suspension height that much, how does the track bar holds on the change of geometry? Would it move the diff towards the driver side and limit it on highway speeds?
As mentioned in the video, you cannot drive your Jeep at the highest or lowest setting above 25 mph. Or I should say, the system will bring you back to it's default setting automatically.
First off, the air bag shouldn't just break down but coming from a guy who has broken a coil, I know anything is possible. That said, if one were to fail, it'd be like riding on your bump stop.
OK. I'll eat crow if i am wrong, but, Mark Turner says is a "new" way to lift a vehicle. Pretty sure Kelderman was the first to throw an air lift system out there. But they ONLY do HD systems for Ram, Ford and Chevy/GMC. Maybe he needs to clarify for Jeeps and the new Bronco. Am I wrong?
LOL - umm, no, you are not wrong and I don't think Mark was trying to say anything about it being new to anything other than for a Jeep. Specifically, for a Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator like this. Arnott is the company that now owns ACCUAIR and they have been around for a very long time making, wait for it... AIR SUSPENSION system for all kinds of vehicles 👍
@@wayalife Yeah. I know Arnott for sure. Didn't know about the ownership. I have actually been putting little bits of money away for a air ride setup from Arnott for my Harley Davidson Vrod Muscle. Can't wait to get it!
Thanks for the video. Do you know if it would work with other after market shocks (provided the shock travel is compatible)? It would be nice to maintain the compression/rebound dampening adjustability some fancier shocks provide along with remote reservoirs. The shocks that come with the kit do not seem to be adjustable (?) .
So long as you're running shocks made for a JL or JT if that's what you have and they are the correct length (extended and collapsed), there should be no reason why you couldn't run them with the air pistons that come with this kit.
You can easily run 37's with it especially if you have a Rubicon. 35's on a JL is just what ACCUAIR got their FMVSS 126 compliant handling certification for.
Unfortunately, it is not available for a 4Xe as of now due to the battery under the rear seat is where this system would go. That said, ACCUAIR is working on a solution for this and they plan on having something out by next year.
@@wayalife Thanks for the Update! I use the 4xe for a lot of different uses, having an adaptable suspension to different loads and uses would be awesome!
How much suspension travel does it have? I come from the Land Rover world where airbags are not a new thing. They have pros and cons and I'm curious about this system.
Oh yeah, this technology is nothing new, just newish for a Jeep. As far as travel goes, we'll be covering that in an upcoming video but I can tell you that I was surprised by it.
The way the air bag wraps around the lower strut of the piston has me wondering how easy it would be for a rock or sand to get lodged between the two and wear a hole in the bag.
It's been explained to me that it would be very difficult for that to happen and that it's designed to push such material out. Clearly, we'll try to find out for ourselves though our testing.
That certainly looks purdy trick! Can't wait for the trail tests!!! I'm not all that up on suspension geometry, but I wonder if changing the height affects pinion angles?
With factory shafts that are running rzeppa joints, pinion angle is not critical. That said, you would still set pinion for ride height as that's what the system defaults to when driving over 25 mph.
I haven’t finished the video so I might have to edit this comment, but is the system dependent on the configuration or the vehicle. 3.6 v6, turbo 4, or Diesel engine option?
You set steering to whatever your default ride height is. In this case, it is set for 3.5" of lift. The lowest setting you can go and still drive over 25 mph is 1.5" and the change in height isn't enough to affect traction control. Anything lower or anything higher than 3.5" and you cannot drive faster than 25 mph and again, traction control is not an issue.
I don't think so. Not a whole lot of room to work with. But really, changing it out only takes about 15 minutes and you only have to do it about once every 3 years. Not that big of a deal.
@@wayalife thanks so much for the information and happy new year ,am thinking to move it to inside by passenger side and keep it out of sight is that possible?
Unfortunately, there is not a bolt on kit available for the diesel at this time. The location of the fuel tank gets in the way. However, it is my understanding that ACCUAIR is working on a solution.
LOL - but I did mention that we will be taking possession of this Jeep for an extended period of time and that we will be posting a host of videos highlighting what we experience with it. Try checking back for future videos.
Actually, the compressor and tank are mounted to the skid plate underneath the Jeep. The only thing inside is the controller and air chuck for air tools. When running, you can barely hear it on.
Hey Eddy looks like you're in my home state. This is going to be very interesting to see how well it does. We all know Eddy ain't afraid of rubbin on the rocks!🥃🥂
While this kit is specifically made for a bolt in application on a JT or JL, nothing about it tells me that a guy with the will couldn't make it work on a JK.
For those that aren't too familiar with accuair, they've existed in the past primarily focused on the air management systems used in the show/stance/hotrodding communities. In 2020 they announced their bankruptcy and Arnott Industries purchased the rights at auction. Arnott is a major producer for OE replacement air suspension components, from bags to compressors and everything else involved. Its honestly the best case scenario for the consumer as the outcome.
The JT, JL and even their Bronco systems look very very promising. Gives the best of both worlds in regards to lift and practicality. I'm sure you could fit an even bigger tire than a 37 with no issues, with fender clearance being the only serious limitation.
Note: not affiliated, just an engineer that can appreciate how well thought out the whole package is. From a value proposition, its a bargain.
Awesome! thanks for chiming in with all that.
Great information! Thanks as well!
No one is going to mention how awesome this could be for driving sketchy side hills 🤷♀️
LOL - right! I have to say, leveling out just one side on an off camber shelf road came to my mind.
Years ago there was a kit out for the TJ that did just this. It didn’t go anywhere. If you hadn’t mentioned this I wouldn’t have even remembered it.
As I mentioned in my note below, if the target price is missed it won’t sell…or only to a very small market.
That was my first thought! Even just removing a degree or 2 of roll can really help the seat of the pants feel. This could also help with pitch, but thats much less of a concern considering how much longer wheelbase's are vs track width.
@@wayalifethe air kit looks like the same thing you find in semi trucks and large transit bus, l work on these large transit bus with this type of setup, they are reliable, they do need servicing replacement on the air bags when they leaks, leveling valve and blocks.
I have been running this lift for a little over a year and have been really happy with its performance on and off road.
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Curious how well the suspension articulates over rocks for more technical trails. Considering doing something similar on my Suzuki Samurai...
Curious to see how it would do when your off-road flexing things out. How the bags would handle droop and compression.
Well, we intend to test that out and hope you check back to see our videos highlighting what we find.
Can't wait to see your impressions of this system.
Stoked to see Accuair back from the dead and stepping up to the Jeep market!
Hope to share them with you soon in our upcoming videos.
Thanks for spending the time to get to know our Kit! Enjoy your time with our JT! Can’t wait to see where you take it. 🎉
LOL - thank you for the opportunity to test out your rig! We really do appreciate it :)

@@midwesternguy370 Awesome! I hope you have a great trip :)
maybe I missed it but I'd are limit straps so you don't rip the air bag apart? looks fun
No need for limit straps. The shocks are specific in length to prevent the over extension of the air bags.
All that for that price is actually really good! The ability to level out when you get to camp is pretty sweet. Made in USA!!!! Love it!
I think so too. Certainly, it isn't cheap but there are kits out there that cost more and do less. Made in the USA makes a big difference to me as well.
That’s one of the fastest air-suspensions I’ve ever seen. Looks amazing.
I was bummed because I noticed they never showed it lowering/raising while they were talking. Every time I'd be waiting to see and they'd zoom in on his fingers on the app or something that nobody cares about. They'd quickly cut to a close-up where it was probably sped up. All I wanted to see was what it looked like as it adjusted in real time - unfortunately never happened.
@Hill Hammer [Nasty Boys Dirt Club] LOL - sorry we chose to do some editing to help make our video more interesting but there was no slight of hand going on here or things sped up as you seem to be imagining. The 3 gallon air tank exists to help ensure rapid airing up and the purge valve really does let out that much air. We'll try to do our best to show you how fast it really is and in a way that your eyes will believe in a future video. But clearly, you can believe whatever it is you want to believe 🤪
Had a similar system in my grand Cherokee overland. It was awesome at all settings except rock, which was intended to provide maximum lift but actually made the suspension stiff as a rock. I hope that’s not your finding as well. Watching this series to see the outcome. Cheers!
Cool! Hope to show you what it can do soon.
Really looking forward to learning more about your experiences with the Acuair system. Can it take off road driving? How well does it air up your tires? Will those bladders hold up & not burst after a year or more off-road use? Sounds awesome & I hope those answers make me want to spend $6-7k
Hope to show you what it can do in future episodes.
Lots of questions but I’ll wait until more videos come out to see if they are answered. Air leaks are my first concern.
Totally legit concern. I won't lie, it's one of mine as well.
Cool product and I hope the company does well but not for me- ever. After wheeling an LR4 with air sus I will never have air sus on an offroad rig again. My LR4 was actually extremely reliable throughout its life, but the one thing that gave me a nagging feeling when I was wheeling was the air sus. The LR4 system would drop to bump stops if there was a system fault, and of course if it loses air. With oversized tires you are jammed in your own wheel wells and stranded. It did it once to me, although luckily only 2 miles from home on roads and was able to crawl home. But had I needed articulation- I would have been stranded. There are also so many more failure points- the compressor, the lines, the bags, the computer, and they’re not fixable on a trail unless you go carrying around another entire system.
Also usually air bags lose articulation as they fill. So you have your choice of either height or articulation, but usually not both. You need to get this on an RTI ramp and compare it at each setting height to a non air sus Jeep of same height lift.
Yes they have benefits, being able to raise and lower is nice for loading and unloading, fitting into parking decks, maybe getting you off a high center (I never used it for this once), but to me the negatives outweigh the positives for anything but a pavement princess. The old schoolness of the Jeep Gladiator is exactly why I’m in it.
Look forward to the upcoming vids. But take a buddy with you.
This system is very impressive and I can’t wait to see it on the trail
I have been hesitant to lift my wrangler as my wife has trouble getting in and out of anything above ride height so this system looks like it has solved that
This is the reason I love your channel so much you bring the best stuff for wrangler owners
Awesome! Always happy to know that people like you are appreciative of the content we provide. And yes, you can lower this system to your bump stops making it super easy to get in and out of your Jeep. Once you're off, it'll automatically go back up to ride height.
Bags on trucks lifted or lowered been around...like a while. Downside is, you get a leak, a puncture , or hardware issue and your lift is, not a lift.I own air setups, have been doing air setups for over 20yrs..I wouldnt put one on a offroad vehicle unless its designed like a Military MRAP and the airbags are Protected, Where these are Not. Thanks for the Video🍿🍻
I'm interested in how robust the system is over a regular lift kit system. Especially the way you drive and push the platform.
LOL - well, we were given the green light to drive and "wheel" this rig like we would any of our Jeeps. And, we plan to do just that! Hope you check back with us to see our upcoming videos.
That is awesome! When do you start!! I feel the need to get this kit. Plan on getting the Magnason super charger as well.
I really curious how the airbags will hold up to constant clay/muck/wet dirt road stuff; I live on the worst dirt road ever and it is a constant battle to keep my rock slide rock sliders from bounding up. Please test for these conditions; freezing conditions with the gunk is even worst.
Well, we will be taking this thing back to our home up north and winter is here. We'll see what we can do to show how it does there.
Looks like something cool for yuppie mall crawlers... I'll stick with my ORIs for far less and let me remove sway bars, shocks, springs, bump stops and limit straps and run 40s or 42s.I will stay tunes to see your thoughts on it offroad.
LOL - maybe so but there are a lot more of them than guys who are wanting to run built up rigs.
@@wayalife Fact
What an awesome looking system. I think this will also open up for those with physical disabilities and/or limitations.
The factory one I had on my Ram was great for lowering so my dad who I was shuttling to medical appoints could easily get in and out. He would not have been able to do that if it was at factory or lifted height. He can't get in my lifted Jeep and I would love to be able to take him Jeeping. If this can handle light to moderate trails it would be a great potential solution.
Yes, this is definitely something that would be helpful for people with physical disabilities.
That is sooo cool. I like how they went a totally different route. Looking forward to how it does in the real world.
Awesome! Glad to hear you're excited about this.
Wow, game changer here. So much value for that buy in price and Made in America........Well I know which route I'm going when my Mojave Fox 2.5 shocks are ready to be serviced.
Awesome! I'm glad that we could share this with you.
While I have a JT Rubicon, I also have a 2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with an air suspension in which I have run trails like Elephant Hill. Got to say I love the idea of having air on a JT. Can’t wait to see how it does!
Very cool! Please subscribe and see what new videos we present to you.
I wonder if the dirt, mud, or salt would get into the air suspension system causing problems long term.... looking forward to seeing you in taking these new stuff to the trail...
I have a teraflex lift myself but dont mind switching to something like this..
We don't have salt issues where we live but I could see that being a potential problem. Otherwise, we hope to test what we can out and share it here on our TH-cam channel :)
I could definitely see a super nice ride usually air suspensions are really like riding on a cloud it will be interesting to see how it's flexibility is
We hope to show you this soon :)
Thank you so much Eddie , for taking the time to send me this link . Don’t know how the hell i missed this one . I have been here with you for many years and have watched every video you and your wife have ever made . I must be slacking 😂😂😂
LOL - it's all good and we appreciate you being a long time viewer of our videos 😎
I would love a video where you explain some of the advantages of the different suspensions. Like the EVO double throw down. Coil overs. When is it good to make the jump from coil-shock to coil overs. What is the advantage of the second shock in the double throw down. Etc.
I love you information videos.
I appreciate the suggestion. I'll see what I can do.
Im interested in how the track bars work since deffrent lift hights change track bar length. Also control arm length with caster.
For sure, you will see axle shift at different heights but from what we've seen, it isn't enough to really notice or matter. Caster really isn't an issue with FAD but the rear pinion will need to be set for standard ride height.
I put a full suspension kit on my Mojave (less the shocks and the hydrolic jounce stops) with new rocker and control arms to keep the drive shaft angle to a certain range. I wonder how or if that's accomplished with this set up....
You would set your drive shaft to whatever standard all around setup you plan on running on a regular basis. When driving at speeds of over 25 mph, that's what the system will default to.
Similar to AiROCK from about 20 years ago? Unsure if Off Road Only is still selling that setup, but the Accuair seems a bit more straightforward and complete for similar or less money. Packaging/quality looks OE on this setup, I'm sure they will sell plenty!
Clearly, a guy who's been doing this Jeep thing for a while LOL! Yes, similar but more up to date and modern. Price point is better and the quality of parts is all there. I think they will do well.
@@wayalife haha, yes there was a shop in Grover Beach that built AiROCK and nth degree Jeeps. I had a 03 TJR at the time and used to drool over their setups. Took a break for about 12 years and now have a 06 LJR 🙃
I have a similar system on my Denali and its simply great. Love it.
Awesome :)
I think the coolest thing about their control system is that they could use most of the same hardware but potentially build out a CTIS system with it.
So where do you set your caster and pinion angle at? Lots of geometry sweep it seems like throughout the different ride heights.
Please check back for an answer on our upcoming videos.
If only money was not an issue. I'd choose this over a standard lift. I have airbags in my truck and the ride is so smooth. Would love to have this in my jeep someday.
You could always try to win it th-cam.com/video/_QLbNxf1gCI/w-d-xo.html
Excited to watch and learn more about this suspension. Long term reliability is key however.
Awesome! Hope you're a subscriber as we plan on posting a lot more videos highlighting it.
I would love this system on my Powerwagon... Not sure on my jeep. I will be watching.
Glad to hear you're interested in what you see.
Id like to know about the long term reliability of this product. How will it perform in say 10 years and 100,000 miles?
Well, I'm not sure I can answer that based on experience or at least, in the short amount of time that we'll have this Jeep but I will see what I can find out and share it with you.
@@wayalife I just ask bc of the product upfront cost being high....and the amount of labor required to install. Id definitely want such a product to be bullet proof for a long time. If components needed replaced every few years....its probably not worth buying for the average joe
Totally agree and I am looking into this now. I hope to share what I find in our next video.
Definitely a cool product! The fact that it’s made in the USA…. 🇺🇸🔥
Can these things handle load? I mean like aggressive bumps or so. We drive in the desert, it is very bumpy and on high speeds. The shocks are still there I understand, but will these things hold?
This is probably the video you need to see next th-cam.com/video/dfHkZhwFWEg/w-d-xo.html
Cool overview. I came across these recently for both Jeep and Bronco. Would love to hear impressions on ride quality at the different height levels. Sounds like they engineered it to keep a constant rate, so hopefully it rides the same regardless of how much pressure is in the bags.
From what we have been able to test so far, there is no change in ride quality and comfort at any height.
Definitely a cool idea... I can see many benefits for sure. My biggest question is... how much flex? More than stock? Less than stock? Typically bags are pretty limited in stroke. Proprietary bags need to be replaced every several years due to dry rot, so better hope the company is around and still making replacements down the road.
I think you'll be surprised at how much flex you can get out of this kit. Please subscribe and we'll be sure to show you what it can do out on the rocks soon. As far as the bags go, ACCUAIR is telling me they should last at least 100k miles and if any fail before then, they will replace them free of charge. Last but not least, Arnott is now the owner of the company and you can be sure they will be around for a long time to come.
Curious to see how it flexes... does the bag just stretch? looking forward to future videos
We'll be sure to do a video highlighting flex and on the rocks performance.
can not wait to see how this system stands up to off-roading. I see a lot of pluses with this system.
Hope you're a subscriber as we plan on posting up more videos to highlight this and more.
I was hoping for somewhere around 3 grand. Hope whoever can afford this really gets to enjoy it.
It's clearly a pricey kit but it is still cheaper than coilovers.
@@wayalife agreed, but I’ve never even considered coilovers. What I was looking for, is a way to keep my stocks on my diesel in order to maintain good mpg to work. Then bolt my 37s on when going to the trails. I need a lift that can do both of those while not rubbing and not looking like a roller skate.
Hey Eddy, long time follower here, I think myself and other fellow jeepers are interested to see how it compares side by side to a standard 3.5 inch coil spring lift kit of similar make up. Mostly I’m interested to see how it flex’s! Keep us posted!
Awesome! Hope to test it out on the rocks and share what we find soon. Please check back for new uploads :)
Hmmm, wasn't expecting that offer. Curious how it does offroad
We hope to share that with you in future videos. We hope you check back :)
I can't wait to hear how it rides.
We needed to test it out for ourselves before we could say. Our next video will cover that.
I’ve owned a few cars with accuair struts installed. I would love to see my gladiator with that kit. Anyway you can hook a heavy tow load up and let us know how the ride is with it auroleveled?
Actually, I definitely think we can do a heavy tow video.
I want to know about articulation. Does it have the same articulation as other lifts do?
Honestly, I don't think flex is why you'd want a system like this but we hope to show what it can do just the same.
Looks really cool, perhaps something we’ll see in the next generation. My number one question though is it’s reliability and real world functionality off road.
So far so good. We hope to test it out and let you know if anything goes wrong.
I’d like to see how much it can flex out.
Honestly, I don't think flex is the point of a suspension system like this but we will for sure test that out and share what it can do with you. Hope you check back for future videos.
Im sure the air bags will hold up to whatever you throw at them. Ive ran airlift and accuair products on my cars for years. As long as you install everything properly and keep airlines away from pinch points and heat sources youll be fine.
one thing to keep in mind, is to keep airline antifreeze in your system during the winter to prevent ie build up
Remember semi trucks run air bags.
I think you're right and hope to find out for myself. As far as winter goes, I was told to add air compressor oil to the system. Is there something better you would recommend?
@@wayalife CRC Air Brake Antifreeze.
@@alecskursha2090 Thank you!
I've asked that question to ACCUAIR on a forum (I live in northern Canada) and I copy/paste their answer here: "We do recommend adding a few ounces of air brake antifreeze to the system during extreme cold temps."
I am currently running the original kit that was introduced at sema last year on my 2021 jl. I got to admit that the concept of this setup is really nice, however, I’ve had a lot of problems out of my ride height sensors not wanting to stay in range. Accu air tech support is pretty much non existent. Now with that being said, after 7 months of taking the Jeep back to the installer multiple times, accu air is going to send me the new control arms from the new kit that was just displayed in the video. Fingers crossed that those will fix my problem. Other than the ride height sensors giving me trouble, i have to say that i am overall impressed with this set up and the ride it provides.
It should be noted that ACCUAIR had actually gone out of business and had since been acquired by a new company called Arnott. I was told that they are replacing ALL of the original kits with their new one. If you have any other issues, I would recommend that you contact them directly.
Hey Rocky, I spoke with ACCUAIR about the problems you have and they really want to speak with you. They're quite sure you still have an older kit and would like to fix that. Please reach out to them directly as they are eager to help you out! :)
@@wayalife Thank you for going above and beyond to help me out. I really appreciate it greatly thank you I will definitely reach out to them. Up until this point I have only went through my installer, so I will definitely reach out.
@@Rockyc My pleasure and glad that I could be of help :)
Will my electronic sway bar disconnect still work with this kit?
Yup, it sure will. 👍
But does it flex/articulate like other off road suspensions
You'll have to check back to see :)
How’s the ride quality on washboard roads?
Honestly, not bad at all or at least, in my opinion. Way better than my stock Sport and maybe even better than my stock 392
How loud is it and how often is it running? Being automated etc I’m curious about how often the compressor kicks on to fill the tank. Thanks
The compressor is connected to a 3 gallon tank. The compressor almost never turns on during regular driving. If you lower the suspension and then raise it up, it will come on for a bit but being that it's located under the passenger side back corner of the truck, you can barely hear it.
That’s pretty awesome that you get to do the R&D. That JT is in for a ride 😂. (“Use it as we would any of our Jeeps”.) All in all, looks like a cool concept for city use and light wheeling. Interested to see how it flexes and articulates while wheeling.
LOL - we were even given the OK to "scratch it up" 😁 Looking forward to sharing what we do with this thing.
I'm curious about how it articulates as well. Does it do well keeping all tires on the ground without having to manually adjust each corner, etc.
@@shadow9600 We hope to find out soon and share it with you.
Cool indeed, but the elephant in the room is the $7000 cost. Many, if not the majority of us already have an air system, which would make mine a +$900 paperweight. Unless the pricing was cut in half and there was a retrofit for a dual ARB, it is a novelty I’ll do without. Additionally, there was no comment, which I’m sure you’ll cover in an upcoming update video, regarding the noise/volume of the interior mounted air compressor. There was a short blip in this video where you could hear it cycle on, but it was from the exterior.
LOL - there's always ebay! But, in all seriousness, it's definitely pricey and out of reach for most people. Where it's really worth considering is for the guy who can afford coilovers or some of the high end long arm kits out there. This system actually costs less than them.
@@michaelwait3326 The compressor is NOT inside the Jeep. It's located on the skid plate underneath the Jeep along with the air tank. You can barely hear it.
I wonder about maintenance plans, etc. Expected replacement time for any parts? 5 years, 10 years?
I will look into this and share what I find.
That's awesome. I'm looking forward to your videos where you'll be testing this gladiator. Hopefully one day, a system like this will be available in Australia too.
Glad to hear you're liking what you see.
It's hard not to. lol
Great first look! Can’t wait to hear first impressions off road. From a convenience aspect it’s 💯!
Hope you're a subscriber because we hope to do more videos and off road soon :)
my take is that it's a very thoroughly thought out system ... It's 3.5" for any speeds over 25mph, but any level under that speed ? .. curious to know what the maximum lift is to get off that dang rock ;-)
LOL - actually, they had the #1 setting on the controller set to 1.5". That is the minimum lift you can drive on and what we've been using for highway speeds. We have seen a measurable improvement in mpg with it that low. I will cover max height and lowest setting in our next video.
How does it feel on road...as compared to a standard same sized lift? Smoother?
Ride quality is 100% subjective but in my opinion, the ride is better than most 3.5" lift kits. Maybe the better comparison is that it's firmer than a stock 2-door sport but feels about what a stock Rubicon feels like.
Hmm but the factory spring suspension allows up and down articulation but does this air system do the same ?
Im still wondering how this can work in serious off roading situations
PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING LINK th-cam.com/video/GKZ-uwINK2k/w-d-xo.html
👍
Once you reach full height can the suspension still raise up like springs for artuculation ? Raising up is one thing but when you hammer down after going over that rock or big bump will the suspension allow the wheel to go up into the wheelwell ?
I posted up a link for you on your other comment.
Excuse me , in desert is it good and reliable, I'm from Saudi Arabia and we have a lot of heavy sand that we need to go through, also in roads trips between cities is it good and I can go to 140 kilometers??
Being that I just took possession of this Jeep, I can't say for sure but hope to find out through my testing out in the Nevada desert. I am told however that it will hold up well and on road, I can tell you that it rides great.
What about the durability of this bag. I like to drive on rock but where i am we drivre in forest and sometime we run tru bush and tree branch. The bag can be use in this condition ?
Well, we hope to test this out in all conditions but I'll be sure to talk with ACCUAIR to see what they have to say as well.
Questions, do they make it for a 2 door rubi? How does it hold things in correct alignment without all that hardware? What happens if you blow a bag or two and don't have all the hardware? I'm not made of money but this might be worth the investment.
Unfortunately, it is not made for a 2-door but mainly because there is no where to put the compressor and air tank. I know they are working on a solution for a diesel and 4Xe and assuming they do, I would think you could use the same setup on a 2-door.
Well hopefully the cold doesn't affect the air bags and does it have a water separator for humidity changes?
So far, we haven't found cold to be an issue and it is designed to periodically purge water from the system. I'll try to cover this in greater detail in a future video.
When you change the suspension height that much, how does the track bar holds on the change of geometry? Would it move the diff towards the driver side and limit it on highway speeds?
As mentioned in the video, you cannot drive your Jeep at the highest or lowest setting above 25 mph. Or I should say, the system will bring you back to it's default setting automatically.
I'm curious about this as well. Wonder how it rides if one of the bags breaks down on the trail...
First off, the air bag shouldn't just break down but coming from a guy who has broken a coil, I know anything is possible. That said, if one were to fail, it'd be like riding on your bump stop.
OK. I'll eat crow if i am wrong, but, Mark Turner says is a "new" way to lift a vehicle. Pretty sure Kelderman was the first to throw an air lift system out there. But they ONLY do HD systems for Ram, Ford and Chevy/GMC. Maybe he needs to clarify for Jeeps and the new Bronco. Am I wrong?
LOL - umm, no, you are not wrong and I don't think Mark was trying to say anything about it being new to anything other than for a Jeep. Specifically, for a Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator like this. Arnott is the company that now owns ACCUAIR and they have been around for a very long time making, wait for it... AIR SUSPENSION system for all kinds of vehicles 👍
@@wayalife Yeah. I know Arnott for sure. Didn't know about the ownership. I have actually been putting little bits of money away for a air ride setup from Arnott for my Harley Davidson Vrod Muscle. Can't wait to get it!
Thanks for the video. Do you know if it would work with other after market shocks (provided the shock travel is compatible)? It would be nice to maintain the compression/rebound dampening adjustability some fancier shocks provide along with remote reservoirs. The shocks that come with the kit do not seem to be adjustable (?) .
So long as you're running shocks made for a JL or JT if that's what you have and they are the correct length (extended and collapsed), there should be no reason why you couldn't run them with the air pistons that come with this kit.
Did he say that you can only go to 35" on a JL ? I have a 19 Moab.
You can easily run 37's with it especially if you have a Rubicon. 35's on a JL is just what ACCUAIR got their FMVSS 126 compliant handling certification for.
My JL is 2019 MOAB unlimited . It's not a Rubicon.,but I wish it was .lol.i have big plans for it.
I can see this for overlanding.
Yup, that's exactly where I see this kit shining.
I’m very excited for this, I’ve toyed with the idea having this kit on my 4xe now for about a year!
Unfortunately, it is not available for a 4Xe as of now due to the battery under the rear seat is where this system would go. That said, ACCUAIR is working on a solution for this and they plan on having something out by next year.
@@wayalife I too have a 4xe and was wondering the same thing - thanks for the update
@@wayalife Thanks for the Update! I use the 4xe for a lot of different uses, having an adaptable suspension to different loads and uses would be awesome!
This looks like its gonna be good! The JLTV I drive does sooo well offroad on its air suspension. I cant wait to see how well this does
Can't wait to see how it articulates on a hard trail!
Hope to get to that soon. Been having to deal with unrelated rear axle gear issues.
How much suspension travel does it have?
I come from the Land Rover world where airbags are not a new thing. They have pros and cons and I'm curious about this system.
Oh yeah, this technology is nothing new, just newish for a Jeep. As far as travel goes, we'll be covering that in an upcoming video but I can tell you that I was surprised by it.
Wish they had a diesel JL version this looks like a great option
The diesel takes up space that is used with this kit but they're working on it.
The way the air bag wraps around the lower strut of the piston has me wondering how easy it would be for a rock or sand to get lodged between the two and wear a hole in the bag.
It's been explained to me that it would be very difficult for that to happen and that it's designed to push such material out. Clearly, we'll try to find out for ourselves though our testing.
I pull a 3100 lb camper with my JL, do you think with this kit I would be able to get rid of the load level system?
Yes
That certainly looks purdy trick! Can't wait for the trail tests!!! I'm not all that up on suspension geometry, but I wonder if changing the height affects pinion angles?
With factory shafts that are running rzeppa joints, pinion angle is not critical. That said, you would still set pinion for ride height as that's what the system defaults to when driving over 25 mph.
I haven’t finished the video so I might have to edit this comment, but is the system dependent on the configuration or the vehicle. 3.6 v6, turbo 4, or Diesel engine option?
This particular kit is made for the 3.6L. Other options are in the works now including one for the diesel and 4Xe
Look great and great to see a Florida Tag on a Jeep thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Curious to see if there are any problems with the steering in relation to running different heights and the traction control going crazy.
You set steering to whatever your default ride height is. In this case, it is set for 3.5" of lift. The lowest setting you can go and still drive over 25 mph is 1.5" and the change in height isn't enough to affect traction control. Anything lower or anything higher than 3.5" and you cannot drive faster than 25 mph and again, traction control is not an issue.
Dear maya'S jeep expert and my question is can we relocate the auxiliary battery to somewhere still in the hood I have 2019 JL Rubicon
I don't think so. Not a whole lot of room to work with. But really, changing it out only takes about 15 minutes and you only have to do it about once every 3 years. Not that big of a deal.
@@wayalife thanks so much for the information and happy new year ,am thinking to move it to inside by passenger side and keep it out of sight is that possible?
I'm sure anything is possible.
Assuming this all works with the Eco Diesel JT as well...?
Unfortunately, there is not a bolt on kit available for the diesel at this time. The location of the fuel tank gets in the way. However, it is my understanding that ACCUAIR is working on a solution.
You didn’t discuss what happens to the articulation when that system is installed. @muddyruttzz
LOL - but I did mention that we will be taking possession of this Jeep for an extended period of time and that we will be posting a host of videos highlighting what we experience with it. Try checking back for future videos.
@@wayalife Will do Sir! Great videos!
How loud is the compressor? Being inside the cab I can only imagine being deafened every time it kicks on to maintain tank pressure.
Actually, the compressor and tank are mounted to the skid plate underneath the Jeep. The only thing inside is the controller and air chuck for air tools. When running, you can barely hear it on.
Nice!
I am very interested to see how well the suspension articulates at full lift.
Honestly, I don't think big flex is why this system exists but you can be sure that we will test and show that on future videos.
Hey Eddy looks like you're in my home state. This is going to be very interesting to see how well it does. We all know Eddy ain't afraid of rubbin on the rocks!🥃🥂
LOL - always nice to be in Arizona, especially in the winter. Super nice out and yes, we were given the okay to "scratch up" this Jeep 😁
Really curious to see how that system works on the rocks
Hope you're a subscriber because we hope to show that to you.
@@wayalife looking forward to it :) been subscribed for awhile watched all your videos many times... love them all 🤘
Awesome! Glad to hear it and we appreciate it :)
To be honest, I don't think I will ever use a air bag on a rig made for off road.. But the idea is good..
LOL - clearly, it's not for everyone.
that is so cool...like a Range Rover but 100% Jeep... is it available for JK's (SWB)?
Unfortunately, this is only available for the JL and JT for now.
Holler if they develop for the Jk/Jku models.
While this kit is specifically made for a bolt in application on a JT or JL, nothing about it tells me that a guy with the will couldn't make it work on a JK.
