I have wanted an air ride kit since day one. I saw a couple done before that were one off custom setups. So of course it is possible. I'm looking for a better ride than I have now and a better stance when parked. Although some of you would argue that air ride would sacrifice handling and driveability. This is not the case at all with a proper setup. I've had many adjustable suspension rides,and they have came a long way. So any input on getting someone to step up and make this happen for us? I volunteer my Jeep as a donor vehicle for a prototype or whatever,if that helps at all.
Please don't turn this thread into a pissing contest about pros and cons. If you don't like the idea,please don't post here.I appreciate that ahead of time.

totally doable, Ive also had tons of bagged rides, a buddy has a syclone still awd on bags, the cvs where his biggest problems, If i remember right he used crazy offroad ones to get more travel

The rear is the one to bag, the hard part is the front. I was talking to guys at ridetech and they were willing to develop and install a full setup on my Jeep. I didn't have the time to leave my Jeep at the time and when I had the time, I didn't have the coin. They told me around $8k at time, installed it broke down almost 50/50 split for parts labor. It was a 4 corner leveling system with their top digital controller

Yeah I made many tries to get some info from him but I never had any luck getting a reply. Looks like I'll be doing it on my own.

Great idea. subscribed...

If only someone could design a kit that is not crazy expensive. I know they would sell lots of air ride kits for the Jeep srt-8`s.
I personally love the idea of riding in the snow with an extra 2 inches of clearance, and when at the track drop it down to get the lowest center of gravity possible.

I have wanted this for a long long time.

It has never been a topic of discussion around here. We do have universal struts available if you would like to build your own kit.

This topic has come up a couple times...seems like it always gets back-burnered due to the time and finance aspects.

Would be cool if a company just did it, or a customer with some knowledge put together their own kit.

I could without a doubt fab something up, it all depends on how low you want to go, and air management

Well if a kit gets created that isnt crazy expensive than I would definitely buy one...

I'll take a peek tomorrow and see if I can some ideas, I know right now with the clearances on the rear shocks with my 315s, that's gonna be a fun issue

Definitely AVAILABLE. "the guy from NY" had it done in NJ. Hits the switches and the whole car drops slammed and rises about a foot+ The ride isn't terrible, but I personally do not think It can really be practical for DD. Nice guy, hes not on the forums.

Hell even if if was 2" of difference. Up / down. So it doesn't damage anything or hurt performance. Normal ride height with eibachs and 2" lower.
