HOW TO SET YOUR RIDE HEIGHT ON AIRBAGS *AIR RIDE SUSPENSION WITH DIGITAL MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER*

HOW TO SET YOUR RIDE HEIGHT ON AIRBAGS AIR RIDE SUSPENSION WITH DIGITAL MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER

• HOW TO SET YOUR RIDE H...
What's up guys! Today, I wanted to make a how-to video answering a few questions that I get on Instagram on a weekly basis. Ultimately, these questions are "how do I setup my own presets for ride height?", "what ride height do I ride at?", "how low can I ride with airbags?", and the similar questions surrounding this topic.
So, my goal for this video was to help take you step by step, in determining what ride height is best for you and your car, and effectively set your own ride height presets. As discussed in this video, the principles will all work the same, regardless of the name brand you are running. I am running Air Lift Performance 3H system, but it's ideally the same as the Air Lift Performance 3P system, just with the addition of height sensors. However, the concept of setting your ride height is essentially the same with any digital management system, such as Accuair, where as long as you can individually change each bag's pressure or height, then set it/save it as a preset, then this video should help you out! Comment below if you have additional questions, or have a topic you want me to cover.

[@z33andme71]

Thanks bro. I'm disabled from a GSW to the head and I have hemiplegia (Fancy word for right side weakness and paralysis) and I just bought the Airlift P along with Work Meister S1 3p for my 2008 350Z. I have to install it myself when it gets warmed up. I already ran my harnesses and my air lines but I have to wait for my wheels to be made and I should have them at the end of May 2022. Until then I'm trying to learn all I can about Airlift. I just learned even though I bought a full kit with dual everything that I don't have a lifetime warranty. Just a 4 year. Airlift changed their warranty so in you bought a full kit after 9/03/21 you get a 4 year. If you just bought a management you get a 2 year. Kinda pissed off about that but whatever. Thanks for explaining everything to me so even I can understand it.

If your bags wont let you lift it up to the stock rideheight just set it as close to it as you can without the bags leaking. Then go to a shop and get a wheel alignment at that height you chose, to minimize wear as good as you can. I had to do this on my Benz e350 and the tires wear little to no more then the stock ride height would.

That’s a sick ride, did you have any clearance issues when aired out on the front wells with the tire hitting?

Thanks 👊. When aired out, the inner part of the fender would physically sit on the tire... but never an issue unless you "turn" the wheel when aired out.... which you should never do.

[@rednug]

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing. I have upgraded to the height sensors and I’ll be danged if i can’t get the calibration to pass. It keeps on failing calibration. What was your trick to calibrated for height sensors.

[@TattooedCarCulture]

No problem, glad the video helped 👍... If it fails calibration due to a fault in one of the height sensors, you'll just need adjust the mounting of whichever specific height sensor is causing it. It usually just a small adjustment in the way the sensor is installed.

[@columbiariverdetailing1943]

I'm a newbie to air ride. I just bought a 2015 ford fiesta st on airbags. And road like a truck doing 100 down a logging road. Each air bag was at 100psi trying to figure it out for softer ride

[@KOFilms797]

2 weeks until my appointment with air ride equipment💯

[@TattooedCarCulture]

Sick!!!

[@cslammon]

Do you set the adjustment collar on the strut to the "air-out" height before filling the tank for the first time?

[@tripjj8662]

so if I understand correctly, ride height sensors aren't required for the install? If you know the factory ride height is 143psi for example, then adding or subtracting pressure is how you know what height you're at?

[@300zVinh]

Car looks real nice.

[@TattooedCarCulture]

Thanks, I appreciate that 🤜🤛

[@darrenpeters1566]

At 19:40 You mention bumping up one side because of your weight. If you have level sensors wouldn't the system automatically re-level to the set height regardless of your weight, passengers or a loaded boot? I've just installed this exact kit so am learning from you, thanks.

[@TattooedCarCulture]

You're correct... but for those who have the 3P system, which is just based off pressure alone and that I ran for awhile, that's when that comes into play. I was covering both systems for the viewers. In our case, yes, the system will automatically compensate for weight, which is why I prefer this system 💯

[@392.Bryanzz]

What’s your tire setup? Unfortunately one of my fenders went to bacon thinking the height was good for my tires

[@ParkerRodgers-vd2uk]

I just bought a newer Infiniti q50 and it has bags on it at high speeds it seems pretty shakey from 70+ mph I have my 2 front psi at 126 and my back at 60 didn’t know what pre set would be good to stop the shaking thank you

[@Dedypower33]

I just picked up a FD1 civic bagged with this same system.. But the left side seems to be lower than the right when at even PSI .. I have to keep right front & rear about 15 to 20 psi lower to aesthetically look correct.. Is that a calibration issue or possibly camber adjustment?

[@undefined.value.]

My biggest question, in lowered on coils now, so my alignment is set for that. So I'd measure for that for my "factory height" but if I wanted to cruise around at lower heights sometimes, are you worried about alignments at all?

[@TattooedCarCulture]

Honestly no, not with my setup... I constantly roll around at about a 2.5" drop from factory and never had any alignment issues.... but it is also vehicle specific, and so if you've already had your vehicle aligned at your current ride height, if you go bags, you should be golden

[@kamilmalacha824]

Is there a way to adjust the actual pressure but for stiffness not to actually lower or raise the car

[@TattooedCarCulture]

Most adjustments regarding stiffness is done through the dampeners/shocks/etc. An example, on hellcats, they use a mag ride type of strut which the driver can adjust the stiffness or softness of the ride quality...again, through the shocks/struts. So depending on your platform, I know aftermarket companies offer similar setups

[@TattooedCarCulture]

Yeah, I wish I could give you more specific advice. It definitely sounds like you just need to stiffen up the dampening. I'm using my factory struts, but with universal brand bags.... so because I kept the original struts, the drivability never changed.

[@peedieruger830]

@@TattooedCarCulture got u ...thank u sir I may put back the original struts and go from there

[@miscstuff4789]

If you increase the pressure in the bags do you still get the "floaty" feel? Even with a higher ride height the bags should be stiffer and maybe be more stable. If it feels better that way you can set the pressures for best ride and then lower the car back down using the strut tubes.

@@TattooedCarCulture yeah bro thats driving me insane I have a 2019 honda civic si

[@TattooedCarCulture]

That's honestly probably exactly what it is. It could be if you're using the original shocks, that you're new ride height is so low that they can't effectively do their job... so some guys fix it with a shorter overall length shock...if that makes sense... Or, like you said, the shock itself might be fine, you just might have to stiffen up the dampening by getting a new/different.

[@antnyc777]

@@TattooedCarCulture actually I have D2 racing air struts bro with 32 dampening settings.

Sick! Well then, that sounds like the main issue... cause bags won't make it "bouncy"... that's in your struts/shocks... so my advice, just stiffen those bad boys up substantially 👍

[@nycyabber7103]

I have a 3p, but all my pressures are different if the car is equal height at all wheels. Is this normal? For example my driver-side and passenger-side front wheels will measure the exact same height, but the driver side will be 90 psi and the passenger side will be 75 psi.

Yes it's normal. That's why I illustrate measuring the ACTUAL height, then setting whatever pressures those are. 👍 cause tape measures don't lie

Is it safe to run the airlift performance bags daily at PSIs above 130? My install guy said better not to, but noticed your fronts are at 140+ PSI.

Well I'm running universal bags over factory struts as my setup, with air lift performance being my main management and controller...so that's why my PSIs are different, and totally safe, 3+ years daily driven.... but if you're running air lift performance bags, I HAVE heard they don't like really high pressures...

[@philblack5936]

What about the compensation for when you're weight is in the car?

[@TattooedCarCulture]

Just 1 person isn't a drastic of enough difference to affect the pressures significantly...think about even with coil springs...when you get in a car with coil springs, it's not like the car leans to 1 side. But...that IS why I went and went with the 3H sensors, so when there's additional weight added to the car (like my family in it), the system will automatically add needed air pressure per bag depending on where I have my ride height at. Hope this helps 🤜🤛

[@jesseportillo324]

@@TattooedCarCulture thank you. Make sense

[@moe4772]

How come you are running over 100 psi on the bags and then some guys are only running like 40 psi? I ran 80 in mine and it was bouncing like mad all over. What do you think is a sweet spot? Those wheels are nice!

[@TattooedCarCulture]

It's all vehicle specific, and the volume of air the bags can hold. A charger is a pretty heavy car (compared to lighter JDM style cars that run bags), that's why you'll see a big difference in bag pressure, even when it's the same system....it's all related to specific bags and vehicle application. If your car was super "bouncy", that sounds more like a strut/shock issue, rather than a bag issue.

[@miscstuff4789]

I'm using an Air Lift Performance system from a Lexus on a '69 BMW and the way I plan on figuring out the correct pressures and ride height is to install the system and adjust the pressures and dampers to the ride QUALITY I like. Ignoring the ride height, I'm only interested in the way the car rides. Once I determine that, I use the adjustable strut tubes to set the ride height. By doing it this way you know your starting with the correct pressure (bag height) that will be around the height you'll be using most of the time. If you go lower you can increase the stiffness with the dampers somewhat. If you want to go higher it's usually for a short time to get past a speed bump or steep driveway so the higher/stiffer bag (air spring) doesn't matter that much.

[@michaeldelariva94]

Do you find the pressures affect ride quality much?

[@TattooedCarCulture]

Not in the way you're referencing... the quality of ride isn't affected by my different pressure settings, but it does come into play if I am "riding low", if I'm not careful I'll tend to scrape my splitter more, or my rear tires will rub hitting dips in the road, etc... but the "ride" feels the same regardless of how much pressure is in the bags. Different setups might have different results, but I'm using UNIVERSAL BRAND bags over factory struts/shocks.

[@jtzoogodwap]
