Air Ride Install Part 2 - VW T5 Camper Project

Part 2 as the video got a bit long! The one we have all been waiting for! The time has finally come to install the So Low Air Ride kit to the T5 camper project. Massive thank you to Transporter HQ / So Low for the great deal on the air ride kit and a massive thank you to Lowdown Transporters for taking time out of their busy schedule to fit the air ride for me. We coupled the So Low air with Airlift Performance 3H management and twin So Low Shhh Silent compressors.

Love how Dan was worried about talking in front of people and Chris just went for it and basically talked for both episodes 👍

[@DanChambersDAC]

😂 Great isn't it! We have all been friends for a very long time. Don't know why I was worried!

[@markharris8929]

About to start the Fitment of 3H system to my Ford Transit Custom. Can’t wait to get onto it.

[@Nate6874]

Stepping up to get out of a van is a wonderful thing. Van looks amazing. Totally changed the look just by bagging and slamming it.

[@DanChambersDAC]

😂 one of my favourite things! Thanks man. Everything should be bagged!

[@Coffey_bus]

I definitely want to have a go at cutting up a t5 now

[@DanChambersDAC]

Go for it dude!

[@t28wab]

Can't believe how much work actually goes into it, hats off.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Crazy isn't it! We rushed through this too. should take 3-4 days but we put some serious hours in.

[@fluffstar_]

Love the rear quarter view from the back (ignoring the door bash) tucked rims, tail light colour and van colour. Sick install. Low Down Transporters know their isht!! Must drive like a dream 👌

[@DanChambersDAC]

That could be one of my favourite views. Tbf it looks good from every angle😂 So pleased with it. The ride is amazing!

[@ade9685]

Enjoy I did she’s bang on the money, looking mint!

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you bud.

[@alexjones8296]

So worth the wait, Dan. Had no idea just how much work is involved to get it sitting right. The stance looks spot on, mate👏👏👏👏👏

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you bud, I am so happy with it!

[@billynorth9057]

Looks the bollocks that a great job good video

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you bud. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Simon_W74]

Those wheels really do look so much better with the van being lowered. Certainly a very interesting build and this is only the start of the conversion.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Don't they just! Can't wait to get started on the interior.

[@adamgardner6628]

Those wheels looked absolutely lost…. Now they look 🔥. You have real foresight as to how the van was going to look Dan. Commercial baby!!!!

[@DanChambersDAC]

Look good don't they dude! It is slowly turning into the image I had in my head to start with. Can't wait to get started on the furniture.

[@timbird5494]

I need to air ride mine instead of coil overs top video 👍

[@DanChambersDAC]

Air is so much better. You can have it as low as you want but also raise it for access etc.

[@teatime19]

Van looks the biz as it is great work dan 👍look forward to seeing the kitchen/interior build.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you bud, I can't wait to get started on the interior.

[@JMC8415]

On that new liftgate you yet to install, are you putting windows in? If not, you should consider shaving that liftgate and smoothing it out!

[@DanChambersDAC]

Yes bud, Will be installing a window.

[@grahamsmallpeice1212]

Only been watching your channel these last 2 weeks and I’m hooked. Love the red T5 project and I’m loving this LWB project. Keep them coming as I’m finding inspiration for our own project in mind. 👍🏼

Look how different the dub looks!!! Amazing Dan, looking forward to seeing the project grow 👍👍

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thanks bud. Looks so much better doesn't it!

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you dude.

[@benwild5083]

I'm liking the commercial front, needs some fog lights though. Would be interesting to see a set of commercial headlights modded with projectors too.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Commercial front works so well. I like it without. Clean and simple.

Looks great ,is anyone developing a speed bump sensor so they detect them and automatic lift to go over then drop again, should be possible with lidar sensors.

Cheers bud, Not that I know of. It's not really a big deal to raise it if you need to.

Controversial opinion … don’t do ANY bodywork on the van! It looks perfect as it is 👌🏻

[@DanChambersDAC]

Gotta say I am leaning towards this too.

[@andydawkins9640]

Sweet ride 👍👍👍👍

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you bud.

[@jamielockey2003]

What a great project and looks fantastic! Can I ask what wheels are they please? Would look great on my t5 project ❤️

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Hey Dan, well the look on your face pretty much says it all so I don't need to ask if you are happy with the air ride kit, I assume that fitting this kit at home would be possible but I wouldn't like to tackle it myself, as I said in part 1 the guys at Lowdown Transporters really know what they are doing and I think it would be better to get them to fit the air ride as you will know it's been done properly👏🙏👍

[@DanChambersDAC]

Could you tell I am happy?! I have fitted air ride a few times to vehicles on my drive. It is doable but with these guys doing it day in, day out the installation is even better.

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Haha!! yes mate even in wide screen your grin still filled the screen, pleased for you mate you certainly deserve it👏👏👍

[@TopwaterTony]

What would one of those vans cost with the airride?? Soo nice 😊

[@matthewgreen1025]

This so makes me wanna sell my caddy and get a t5

[@DanChambersDAC]

Do it.

[@SmokinMesa]

What happens to alignment with air ride? Doesn't the geometry change with different heights so it's only set for a single height?

[@stevenmassey3369]

That looks amazing so much more work involved than I thought installing air ride correctly,, what would be the cost for supply and fit do you know?

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you bud. Takes a fair amount of effort! Best to contact Lowdown Transporters as there can be a few variables.

[@wiseguyproductions683]

Feeling like I need to buy a van now 🤔

[@DanChambersDAC]

Go for it bud! Can't beat having a van!

[@filipwennergren2712]

Westfalia roof?

[@DanChambersDAC]

No bud.

[@robinfuller747]

Do you reckon air ride on the b5,5 wagon???

[@DanChambersDAC]

It is a lot but in my opinion it is so worth it. with things like this you either get it or you don't. Wether you do or not doesn't matter as long as the individual is happy.

[@weasleyp1]

😍👌👌👌👌

[@DanChambersDAC]

🙌

[@dantregale218]

Have you managed to get it sat like that with no front subframe mod? What does it drive like? Any driveshaft shudder?

[@DanChambersDAC]

No subframe or engine raise on it yet as we didn't have time. We will be re visiting to do this though. It drives much nicer. I do get some judder at low drive height but it also catches on the wings etc so can't drive that low other than on the motorway.

[@dantregale218]

@@DanChambersDAC oh amazing thanks for the response bud, would be interested to see if the judder gets better at lower height with the subframe as I am currently running static with all the bits done for it to run as low as possible but need to do the subframe mod and ecu raise… would be sick to see that as a vid as none out there 👍🏻

[@DDoug987]

Pop top?

[@DanChambersDAC]

🤷‍♂️

[@vwtransportersandmotorcycl3729]

Never realised it involved butchering the van so much 😳

[@petershearer3448]

What wheels are they on the the T5????

[@daz575]

£5500 plus fitting is a lot to spend on suspension on a van,

[@DanChambersDAC]

it is a lot but in my opinion it is so worth it.
