It's not the bags you need to worry about. It's the cheap nylon lines and crappy push connectors. 24 years as a CDL driver, I've never seen a bag fail. But I see lines and connectors fail all the time. If I were to put this on my car I would absolutely run hard line for most of the distance and only use short pieces of the nylon at the ends to isolate vibration.
cj@ dude move to California here in LA the guys doesnt do a nice work modifieding cars ... i got a 2014 mustand took the car to a local shop to install an air intake and they don't even know what it was ... thanks to you ended doing by myself ... cool videos dude nice job you're doing bro
if the suspensions are pretty much the same, shouldn't this work on a fox? I have a 96 cobra driveline under my 89 car and it's on coilovers so this should work roght?
+Tevin Taylor Depending on the level of modification to your fox body the kit very well may fit. It will not fit a stock fox body without modifications. 87-93 shocks and struts vs 94-04 are different lengths and the thickness of the strut mount at the stock spindle is different as well.
+Bill Tumas I have 96 cobra spindles, a arms, and rear 8.8 brakes and all. I do have fox maximum motorsports lower control arms. plan on Panhard bar and torque arm over the winter. this should work I believe but I just want to be date
Really considering this for my '03 GT. Two questions: 1- Does the system constantly monitor psi? For example, if a line or bag develops a slow leak, will the system recognize it and mitigate total air loss to that bag? 2- Is there a fail-safe, and/or alarming feature? Similar to question #1, let's say one is driving at highway speeds and a slow leak, or even a fast leak occurs- rather than a bag completely deflating and that corner of the suspension completely lowering, and presumably causing a catastrophic event, would one get a heads up? Obviously #2 might be a rare or unheard of experience, but it is a legitimate question. Thanks! Thanks!
To get a faster answer look for youtube videos of regular people installing this and asked them because in this video there's even 3 years old questions without answer
This is the most basic system possible, it doesn't monitor anything. It doesn't even maintain a given ride height, just pressure. I'd advise looking for a better kit, one that includes a leveling valve to maintain the chosen ride height.
why cant you use mount plate that comes with caster camber setup? just remove bearing and shims and youll have nice billet mount plate instead of shitty steel stock one, thats how im doing it looks alot better and rear most people have aftermarket lower and upper control arms so what happens in that situation
Bill I can't find an answer anywhere. I love this kit and am wondering if it is at all possible to modify the brackets for the rear cobra irs on 03 04 termis. It must be possible, I just want to be sure before I purchase the kit thank you
Terminator_D-MANN i was faced with this problem... i had to source a factory control arm, until in can find a aftermarket control arm that i can fab something for it to work.
Aaron Kendall I hate to have to put a stocker on since my rear suspension is built with a built solid axle. Let me know if you find a lower control arm that works with this. I don’t want to modify my team z lower control arm unless I know it will 100 percent work with this system. How do you like your suspension now with this air lift kit?
I've modified my rear bbk lower control arms to adapt to the bags. I'm still in the process of getting the cage and the drivetrain in. I'll let you know how it goes and shoot over pics if it works right
Hey Bill Tumas, I'm looking for the best overall suspension and I need professional and expert advice like yourself. I want the best overall suspension for cornering, I want to make my 2014 5.0 turn like it's a complete track car. What suspension should I get to accomplish this? I personally trust your advice over anyone else.
When it comes to suspension there is simply no best one out there, different setups will be preferred by different people. If you are really into absolute handling performance check out the Ridetech coilovers and the BMR watts link. That would be a killer package together.
Hello again Bill, I also have a question about exhaust. I have Flowmaster Outlaw series catback with the xpipe. I want to go h-pipe and long tube headers. I want a very DEEP exhaust note and do you have any recommendations from your experiences on which to get for a deep tone?
+Jose Villegas Easy height adjustability and ride quality are the two big ones. I like the added security of parking the car aired out making it impossible to tow.
cool does it take away all the rattles of the car ? if you change the struts and shocks ?? i hate that those rattles please recommend me something so i wont hear the rattles anymore
+Jose Villegas everything inbetween frame and the wheels is probably all dried out. Look at this mustang it's clean as hell but that old suspension shows. Control arms and sway bars?
+ScourgeBound The most obvious difference is going to be the front strut to body mounts. 94-04s also had longer shocks and struts compared to a fox body by about an inch. A longer strut would not allow you to lower the car as much.
JLB vlogs doesn't look like they are rolled. I've got the same kit on my 2001 gt and when it's sitting on the ground my tires don't touch the fenders. My tire combination is 245's in the front and 285's in the rear
Hi, I see that the car is all rusted like the bearing, the axle, at the wheel, is that fine? Like is it ok for those stuff to be like that and still be usable?
I am looking at your RideTech Air Ride setup...I was wondering what's the Widest Tire and Wheel Combo front and rear can you use on a Newedge Mustang? (I have a 03 GT) Also what's the Tire and Wheel (front & rear) Combo you used on the Mustang in this video?...Thanks and God Bless!
I likey this kit! But it looks like it will be a bitch to install on my convertible. Small trunk, I would have to gut the back interior to run wires/lines, etc. I should know- I've had my 'vert literally in pieces before.
I don't know why but the sleeved bags as opposed to the bellow bags just looks cheap. Oh well at least they don't make the popping sound when airing up.
5000k cad dollars to bag my mustang damn I rather just go static on bc racing coils for 1k Canadian and install it right in my garage like my other srt yall bugging swoosh but can have my 97 cobra for a mule all day long n that aswell a candian mule hell yeha
if anyone is worried about the bag popping just think, the materiel used to make those are the same that makes the bags for dump trucks
if that's what they are used on those are probably heavy duty
It's not the bags you need to worry about. It's the cheap nylon lines and crappy push connectors. 24 years as a CDL driver, I've never seen a bag fail. But I see lines and connectors fail all the time. If I were to put this on my car I would absolutely run hard line for most of the distance and only use short pieces of the nylon at the ends to isolate vibration.
That's pretty cool actually, it was amazing to see the car lift up as high as it did then get that low.
Why'd you use vice grips to hold a strut bolt heads instead of a wrench?
you dont have to hold the vice grips and if you arent gonna reuse them who cares
What kind of air lift should I get to where the body of the car sits on the floor?
What kind ok liner is that on his trunk looks amazing
How can you get your suspension geometry proper if you can run caster camber plates?
front end alignment.
any test drive??
another great video Bill!

What's the tire setup? And did the fenders need to be rolled?
Will this kit work with my UPR k- member
My car has some added weight would that be a problem?
I rather have you install it for me. Good video bud 👍🏽🤙🏽
Fair enough! lol
do you have to use the plastic tubing or can you use metal tubing

At 2:58 when the trunk was opened where can I get those designs with the two mustang logos?
+Francisco Fernandez The owner had that custom made
How come you use a in-line fuse for the pink wire? I need to know asap
will you guys ever do a 10' roush stage 3 i just wanted to know what modifications are available for the car

hi there do you have something for a Lincoln Town Car 2004
Should have put a grommet and washer behind that drain port.
What kind of a kit can i use for a Honda Prelude ? The same or anotherone ?
Bill how much would this kit cost with labor and all
Would I need the stock rear lower control arms
That’s what I’m wondering
why cant you use mount plate that comes with caster camber setup? just remove bearing and shims and youll have nice billet mount plate instead of shitty steel stock one, thats how im doing it looks alot better and rear most people have aftermarket lower and upper control arms so what happens in that situation

DriveFit air lift sells rear cobra bags
Eugene Elam no they don't I've never seen them could you provide me a link it would be greatly appreciated
does that canister have to be that big? And is that little motor load?
+KelJenn B They offer smaller tanks but the pump will work a lot harder because they will drain faster
okay, thanks
For the lower control arm what do you do if you have aftermarket lower control arm that doesn’t have a hole for the bolt and lower bag plate?
Terminator_D-MANN i was faced with this problem... i had to source a factory control arm, until in can find a aftermarket control arm that i can fab something for it to work.

Terminator_D-MANN Same here ill be making low 600s and 550tq and forced to run stock lowers lol.
I've modified my rear bbk lower control arms to adapt to the bags. I'm still in the process of getting the cage and the drivetrain in. I'll let you know how it goes and shoot over pics if it works right

will it be dumb to put this in a v6?
i have to ask: what kind off caliper only uses half of it's total machined area?
Cobra brakes on a gt without Cobra rotors for some reason
does the vehicles max height increase compared to the stock max hieght?
depends how you set it up. In the case of the 99-04 those cars sit so high from the factory that this kit doesn't raise them at all
looks whats the advantage of airlift suspension just show ?? or is it more confortable ?
+Jose Villegas Easy height adjustability and ride quality are the two big ones. I like the added security of parking the car aired out making it impossible to tow.
cool does it take away all the rattles of the car ? if you change the struts and shocks ?? i hate that those rattles please recommend me something so i wont hear the rattles anymore
+Jose Villegas Rattles typically will not be fixed by suspension changes unless your existing suspension is very stiff
and do you know how i can fix all the rattles ? of the car its a 2002 mustang gt its not that bad but its kind of annoying
+Jose Villegas everything inbetween frame and the wheels is probably all dried out. Look at this mustang it's clean as hell but that old suspension shows. Control arms and sway bars?
Appreciate the video. It was awesome.
the kit is $3750! Eesh. It does look sweet though. How much(ballpark) would installation be?
Depends on the shop but figure roughly 8-10 hours labor
Bill Tumas so 5000 parts and labor lol
kit costs more than my car itself but I’m just curious if the kit could fit a 96 V6 lol
Yessss
Where can I get those sve wheels
How much is this kit
Like over 3 grand
Nice Swatch Bill
Does this also work with the v6
+Francisco Fernandez Yes all 94-04 cars except 01-04 Cobras
now do a video on an air kit for a 1995 w202 C280! :)
i don't see how you could track this without being able to tune caster, camber
was this a 1/4" or 3/8" system?
Insane Hoonigan they look like 1/4 I.d.
Future goals for my sn95
Will this work on a 93 mustang?
+gabrielxramirez This is for 94-04 Mustangs only.
+Bill Tumas why wont it work on a 90?
+ScourgeBound The most obvious difference is going to be the front strut to body mounts. 94-04s also had longer shocks and struts compared to a fox body by about an inch. A longer strut would not allow you to lower the car as much.
Are fenders rolled?
JLB vlogs doesn't look like they are rolled. I've got the same kit on my 2001 gt and when it's sitting on the ground my tires don't touch the fenders. My tire combination is 245's in the front and 285's in the rear
Chris Tythcott how low does your car get?
Why not replace worn rubber components when apart? That is silly the parts are cheap you are there and have many apart

A 10 in wide wheel with a 295 and the right offset is about as big as you can go. This car I believe had 275s on the back.
Bill Tumas that's what I got lmao glad I didn't go bigger
I likey this kit! But it looks like it will be a bitch to install on my convertible. Small trunk, I would have to gut the back interior to run wires/lines, etc. I should know- I've had my 'vert literally in pieces before.

The owner "Honda civiced" this mustang 🙄
Looks great minus the wheels

Nope. If you know, you know he made several mistakes.
For what 💩
