I've been wanting to do this since I moved to Mass from Alaska. I bought the bagged suspension, but waiting to get the air management. Randomly found your video despite being subbed to you since mid-2020. Lol Thanks for the info!
I know I will. I'm about to be the only bagged out Camry where I live. I made sure I purchased the 3H along with duals, 3/8" lines, and 5 gallon tank. Just making sure it I get what I want the first time
I remember when this video dropped! Saved it cause I knew I was going Air when the time was right for me. Finally went and bought and airlift 3p kit for my 15 WRX. Do the length of the air line affect how quick the front and rear will raise or lower? Ex: Front raises or lowers then the rears follow versus the front and rear raising up evenly. (Hope that makes sense lol)
I don’t know anything about anything BUT I thought when you do this if you just grab and used plastic drink bottle (coke, Gatorade, etc) and just tape the bottle down you can keep the stem and prevent that hose from getting wild
Hey I enjoy your videos! Question, if the car is parked and turned off is the strut bags still pressurized, or does it air out all the way? In your video you mentioed that you can’t air all the way out because of your wheel clearances.
With my old dore set up I couldn't because the fender would hit the tire, since this video i corrected mine and now can. You don't have to sit put when parked and the bags will still stay pressurized 😁
Thinking of buying a car that already has a 3p on it, I have never used air suspension before but I do like this car and want to get into air lift, what kind of maintenance is there to do for an air suspension? And how often do you have to do maintenance?
Nice video! Just a few questions from my side: 1. I don’t get it, isn’t it possible to have your air out (lowest level) be higher so that you have your ride height on the second level and then have three levels above that? 2. Is it ok to drive on fully inflated or deflated bags? 3. What is the total travel between fully deflated and fully inflated? Thanks :)
I would say you can make your preset however you desire, it is really up to you. Regarding fully inflation; I would not recommend either because since it is air is not good for you to drive at 80mph with your bags having a pressure of 150psi, I feel like it could make them explode. I personally only air up that much if going into a high hill driveway. On the other hand, deflated bags is even worse, it would not be comfortable at all, the dampering will feel as if you had the cheapest coils in the world, lastly it would mess up your fender if you don't have a proper wheel/tire fitment. PS: I do not think this is helpful 2 years later LOL
I want to run the mntrider ultra wide body kit with the specified tires and wheels, but was wondering which thing I should get first, because I also want to purchase and have this airlift kit? Do you think it would be better to get the air kit and bags first, or...since I’m still running stock suspension? Ps: that hose flying everywhere made the video for me😂😂
Haha I totally forgot that thing freaked out and flew around 😅 personally I would take care of the suspension first. So once you get the wide body on you can just dial in all your suspension settings and be good to go 😁
@@ZKirk33 I agree with Smeedia. Suspension first. It makes even stock vehicles look good. However bodykits and rims with wheel gap look hideous imo. I went with airlift suspension first. Now that I know exactly what I can do with fitment and camber aired up and out I have a better idea of what wheel width, offset and diameter to get for that perfect fitment. For wide body I'd go with the WB Kit second and base your wheels off the suspension and WB.
Hey! I ended up orderin the same kit, dual compressors and such. The only question I have is, What is under your trunk mat, did you take out all the stock foam pieces and the spare tire?
@@Smeedia scary haha, took my time, hid everything nice and clean, then had issues cause i forgot to put filters on the compressors 😅😅 shes all good now just need an alignment
I replaced my lines once every 18 months or so, in cold weather I only had 1 issue and it was with my manifold. Just make sure to let the moisture out of the lines more often in the winter. Typically I did it whenever I got gas.
The ride quality is actually amazing, better than factory depending on what you set your bag pressure to. The higher the bag pressure the more bumpy the ride will be. I stay around 50PSI when driving and it's pretty comfortable. Lmao that hose kicked me ass, I've never had that happen before 🤣
@@Smeedia oh no way?? Damn that's crazy, I guess it's different than coils because of the adjustability and all. Do you have to do tire balancing or anything like that? Not sure if that's even the right thing I completely forgot what the term is haha. I'm guessing it was too much air being released, that was hilarious tho 😂😂
You have to get an alignment after install but that's really it. Aside from that just regular tank draining. The adjustability was the whole reason I bought them. I wouldn't be able to get in and out of my driveway on coils 😅
@@Smeedia That's the damned word i was looking for haha. That's not too bad then, I am not sure if I wanna do this to my STI but I guess time will tell haha. Keep up the great work man!
@@Smeedia I was thinking that aswell. I’ve just seen it a lot done on other cars. My other option was to do a clamp style mounting brackets holding the tank upright keeping the drainage pointing down. Thanks for the input!
I have a 19 sti and wanted to install 3p. Would you recommend me getting other parts as well or can i install 3p without buy aftermark suspension parts
even with my water trap i still got to release all the air once a week.? i release the water trap every day and i usually release all the air once a month
@@Smeedia No problem, lol. I appreciate your videos. I live up in Everett, Wa. Hoping in a year or so I will be looking at buying an STi. I appreciate having your info for ideas later!
I need help my bags on my Gs300 stop working all of a sudden. I had it sitting for maybe 2 weeks and usually when i start it my controller turns on and im able to raise it but for some reason my controller doesnt turn on neither does my compressor
ohh one last thing, how do you completely take the air out of the tank if i want to make adjustments on my air line to make it look neat, by the drain valve also? doing the car off and on?
Man the ending really sold me on air suspension LOFL! 🤣
😅😅😅😅
Lmfaoooo me too
I've been wanting to do this since I moved to Mass from Alaska. I bought the bagged suspension, but waiting to get the air management. Randomly found your video despite being subbed to you since mid-2020. Lol
Thanks for the info!
Anytime my friend! 💪
That sound u made for the sound of the air compressor sounded like .”Over board” movie..! Great video brotha ., love watching and learning
Thank you for the support 😁😁😁
Waiting on stimulus check to do this 👍🏾 thanks man great vid
Youlllllll love it! 😍
You're gonna need like 10 stimulus checks to get this kit buddy..
A great video brother as always. Have a great week. I turn 52 on Tuesday. Oh yeahhhh.
Amazing video, the end was epic
Thank you 🙌😁
Great detailed video thank you.
In the next couple of weeks or so my airlift(3H) bags are gonna be installed. First time having them. Can't wait to air out
Ohhhh you'll love it!
I know I will. I'm about to be the only bagged out Camry where I live. I made sure I purchased the 3H along with duals, 3/8" lines, and 5 gallon tank. Just making sure it I get what I want the first time
Hey Tanner. Just had the same air suspension installed on my 16 wrx and was wondering what are you using to mount your controller?
Yoah i just ordered bags and i cant wait. I think i need to get a 2nd compressor and idk about what line size i should use
1/4
I remember when this video dropped! Saved it cause I knew I was going Air when the time was right for me. Finally went and bought and airlift 3p kit for my 15 WRX.
Do the length of the air line affect how quick the front and rear will raise or lower?
Ex: Front raises or lowers then the rears follow versus the front and rear raising up evenly. (Hope that makes sense lol)
To an extent yes, just try to keep line length same same on each side. That's why you'll typically see the rears air out before the front 🔥
@@Smeedia appreciate you sir! 🙏🏼
From watching another video. You would need an air control valve to be able to drop and raise at the same level.
Pass, thanks for being real.
I don’t know anything about anything BUT I thought when you do this if you just grab and used plastic drink bottle (coke, Gatorade, etc) and just tape the bottle down you can keep the stem and prevent that hose from getting wild
I should have done that 😅 I put a new train valve on it so it's not this wild anymore lol
Oh yeah this was funny as oh yeahhhh. 😅🤣😂

Did you have to drill a hole in the center console to get the controller wire through?
Where’d you purchase you air suspension at and how much was the full set up you have?
I bought all of it off of Amazon TBH lol I think I spent around $2700 for everything 🤔
Was this for like literal ‘everything’? Like bags, air tubes, compressors, air tank, and all?
Thinking of buying a car that already has a 3p on it, I have never used air suspension before but I do like this car and want to get into air lift, what kind of maintenance is there to do for an air suspension? And how often do you have to do maintenance?
I changed my lines once every 18 months. aside from that, drain the tank once every two weeks and update the software ever now and then 🙏
How is driving performance on bags?? Like taking hard fast corners/bends, ride feel?
If set up and aligned properly, really not bad and fairly comparable to coilovers
Nice video! Just a few questions from my side: 1. I don’t get it, isn’t it possible to have your air out (lowest level) be higher so that you have your ride height on the second level and then have three levels above that? 2. Is it ok to drive on fully inflated or deflated bags?
3. What is the total travel between fully deflated and fully inflated? Thanks :)
I wouldent drive on deflated bags but you can set the intervals to whatever you like. Total travel im.not sure off the top.of my head 😖
I would say you can make your preset however you desire, it is really up to you. Regarding fully inflation; I would not recommend either because since it is air is not good for you to drive at 80mph with your bags having a pressure of 150psi, I feel like it could make them explode.

Yes i did, I used thr OEM carpet and the all weather floor mat to give it enough strength to hold it
@@Smeedia Finished install today!!!! SOOO STOKED! thanks for all the help!
How did it go?! 😁
@@Smeedia scary haha, took my time, hid everything nice and clean, then had issues cause i forgot to put filters on the compressors 😅😅 shes all good now just need an alignment
Do you have to change out your shocks to shorter ones also? Or can you keep stocks
For this application the shocks are integrated into the bag
Too many things can go wrong for me ill stick with my KW Coilovers thank you very much…🍻
KWs are a great choice 🔥
No one cares
@@sararargides4713 lol being that you took the time to read my comment tells me otherwise…moron. 😂
@@sararargides4713 sheesh man why be douchie? We’re all here to fun with cars …quit with the negativity.
@@redpillpusher you guys have cars? Theyre way too puny for me ill stick to my 2021 ford f 650 super truck thank you very much …. 🍻 😚
Do you have any tips for cold weather and hot weather? And if there’s anything to keep the bags from deteriorating/cracking?
I replaced my lines once every 18 months or so, in cold weather I only had 1 issue and it was with my manifold. Just make sure to let the moisture out of the lines more often in the winter. Typically I did it whenever I got gas.
@@Smeedia thanks for the advice did you install them yourself? Or had it done by someone. If so, was it difficult?
I did it, I've got a few videos walking through how to install bags. Its not all that bad to do 🙏
How's the ride quality man? Not sure if you answered that in another video haha. Good stuff! That hose was wilding on you haha
The ride quality is actually amazing, better than factory depending on what you set your bag pressure to. The higher the bag pressure the more bumpy the ride will be. I stay around 50PSI when driving and it's pretty comfortable. Lmao that hose kicked me ass, I've never had that happen before 🤣

What’s ur control mount? Also what screws or bolts did u use to mount ur management?
I snagged that one off of Ebay, I wanna say it was $25 or so. And they were some spares I had laying around
Thank u, I just ordered one off of eBay also clean set up 👍
Thank you! 🙏
What's the best budget friendly air bag system that you would recommend?
He went with airlift. A reputable brand, which means he probably ( in good conscience and experience ) could not recommend anything cheaper.
Pretty cool video! Can u install my bags for me? Lol
If I had the time, the mod garage does bag installs though 😁
I’m planning out a trunk set up. Is it ideal to do a hanging tank set up with its mounting arms attached to the rear roof deck?
You can, my biggest thing with it was gravity and having all the water be on the opposite side of the drain
@@Smeedia I was thinking that aswell. I’ve just seen it a lot done on other cars. My other option was to do a clamp style mounting brackets holding the tank upright keeping the drainage pointing down.
Thanks for the input!
From the factory did you have to adjust the height of the coil it self or it came pre height to put car already and good to go?
Left it as it was and just changed the PSI of the bags 🙏
@@Smeedia fully air in, is it higher than the stock height? Or just same height as the stock?
Higher 😅😅😅
@@Smeedia will this clear my stock wheels? 2019 WRX STI? Cuz I saw a video where his stock wheels rubs but it’s a WRX.
Yes it will, your fitment might look a little funny though 😅😅😅
I have a 19 sti and wanted to install 3p. Would you recommend me getting other parts as well or can i install 3p without buy aftermark suspension parts
I would at minimum also get rear toe arms and rear LCAs 🙏
@@Smeedia thank you soo much ! 🙏🏽
Anytime!
even with my water trap i still got to release all the air once a week.? i release the water trap every day and i usually release all the air once a month
I do mine weekly or bi weekly
You probably said already but I missed but what size lines are running?
3/8 🙏
Yoo! Does air suspension make all the subtle squeaky sounds that coilovers do? Or is it a more, how do I say this, luxurious (I guess) Ride..?
No squeaks or anything like that 🔥 the makes make a quite pop noise when airing up but iutside of that nothing
@@Smeedia very true. That Air up popping sound - A well known thing among airlift owners due to their double bellow design.
Plumbers tape, not thread locker. Great video though, thank you!
Yes lol thread lock would not make for a good time 😅 thank you for the correction! Snd thanks for the feedback 😁
@@Smeedia No problem, lol. I appreciate your videos. I live up in Everett, Wa. Hoping in a year or so I will be looking at buying an STi. I appreciate having your info for ideas later!
@@TylerL11 oh nice not too far away! Good luck on your search hopefully a solid one comes up for you when your ready to buy!
Hey bro what do you suggest for the preset heights?
Depends on your wheel set up for me i have
Low: 45 Front 60 Rear
Medium: 60 Front 70 Rear
High: 90 Front 90 Rear
can an air tool be hooked to the tank ports to fill tires?
Yes it can, I've done it before 😅🙏
Is slam specialties a good management system???
I can't say I've ever heard of them before 🤔
how do i find the right airlift for my car and wht do i buy
Airlift has a finder that will show you all the part numbers. I've got alot of my set ups from Amazon in the past 😅🔥
Does this void warranty?
It can cause issues with some claims you may try to make
I need help my bags on my Gs300 stop working all of a sudden. I had it sitting for maybe 2 weeks and usually when i start it my controller turns on and im able to raise it but for some reason my controller doesnt turn on neither does my compressor
Already checked the 30A fuse?
I checked each fuse to see if any were unplugged but i even unplugged some and plugged them back in and still nothing
If they're not blown I would start double checking your grounds to make sure they're clean and making good contact
Can you raise the car from stock?
Yes 🙏 goes about 1.5" Higher
@@Smeedia Ok! But I heard it's not an ideal ride as it will be stiff as hell 😟
yooo do you have the link for the valve stem remover?!
and can you reuse the old stem?
You can reuse the old one and I bought it at autozone for like $4 they have a few diffrent styles 😁
Smeedia thank you!!🙏🏼
anytime!
ohh one last thing, how do you completely take the air out of the tank if i want to make adjustments on my air line to make it look neat, by the drain valve also? doing the car off and on?
How big the tank is
5 gallon 🔥
Smeedia bro im think to do the airbag and see i get everything correct from amazon
Wheel specs?
18x9.5 +38 on 255/40/18 with 13mm spacers in the front to clear the brembos
what size air lines do you have?
3/8th 🔥
Ahh so u can leave air in the bags when ur not driving. I thought u had to completely air out
Nope, can definitely leave air in them 😁
That stupid app dont work for Samsung s20
Had a similar issue with mine when I swapped to my S20 🙃
