air suspension

Vans are expensive, and Van parts are expensive. I’m about to lower my van, but I don’t have money for wheels until July/August, so I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of their van lowered on OEM wheels? I think I might even keep the Clayton’s as winter wheels, to save my future 20’s...

Does anyone has any experience of using the tank drain valve in their air suspension set-up for other purposes? I’m wondering whether - with a suitable valve and gauge - I could use the air tank as a source for inflating bike tyres, or maybe even van tyres in an emergency? It seems silly to...

I’ve been running Airlift 3P with twin SoLow SHHH compressors without any issue for just under 2 years, and then last week it completely stopped working - it’s as if the manifold and controller are without power. Fortunately the van is at ride height (and stuck there) but it makes me nervous...

So I'm not quite done with my 20s, I still love the look. So my plan is to run the 20s in summer and 17s with AT tyres in winter. I'm currently dropped 40mm on springs. Is there an easy way to switch between 40mm drop and standard height? I'd like to run at standard height when in "winter mode"...

Does anyone have any feedback on the Air+ Suspension? It looks like a good fit for what I want but it is new to the market, so I am wondering if anyone has had it fitted yet?

I've just removed this kit from a customer van to replace it with a full swamper lift air kit from ABP. It was originally supplied and fitted at the cave 12 months ago and has been driven approximately 3000 miles. It's in excellent condition as can be seen in the photos and if you choose to...

Has anyone successfully fitted airbags to a coil set-up? It looks like it might be possible with maxpeedingrods but not 100% sure. Having previously been a mechanic and later auto electrician, I have very little faith in a purely airbag system. When a coil spring breaks, you can generally still...

Hey Folks, First time posting so play nicely ! I'm looking into the possibility installing an under tray to help with road noise, protecting the belts etc. My van (T6.1) is on air so wondered if this would cause any issues with clearances when airing out at all ? I'm assuming not but would...

Thoughts?

Hi All, I’ve got a T6 fitted with Air Ride (originally done by Plush). Van has just been diagnosed with a bent drop link (which I have got a replacement of - as that’s what I thought it was) and a “shock that has gone through the top mount”. The garage it’s at won’t do the work on it, as it is...

Hi guys, Have a small issue with my Solow Air. It's been installed for 4-5 months now, but went to go out in it today and and seem to have a leak at the rear somewhere. Wondering if anyone has similar issues or can diagnose. Annoyingly can't get a jack under to look. Videos here...

Hi all, I have a 204 DSG 4Motion T32 LWB kombi, bigger factory brakes and factory arb's. It's normally empty apart from 5 seats and I drive it like I stole it. I've always planned to put it on air so I can air it out to look cool, and lift it up to stop me breaking splitters off road (4 in...

I'm getting a camper on t6.1 chassis and have the choice to upgrade to 32t or 35t, each costs about €1000. I plan to add a vb 4c air suspension so i shouldn't need to upgrade, but wondered if anyone had had their gross vehicle weight officially changed on the vehicle registration after...

Hi All. This is a long post, but there's a lot to say! Solow Air Suspension will soon be available at The Van Cave. I will soon be installing one of the first available kits to my own demo van, with first customer installs following shortly afterwards. Kits are expected to land within the...

Just had Air ride installed to simplify my sons wheelchair access and must say it's a game changer. No more heavy ramp sliding around in the van and far quicker to get him in. However, I've been playing around with the 3 preset pressure values. Mostly trying to find the lowest safe running...

Hi , I mounted 3 years ago the VB air suspension, front and rear . Since then the VB dealer replaced 3 times the front suspensions because of a failure . The last time they've been replaced lasted until today when the front left started again to leak air . I decided to take it off and replace...

Nearly MOT time and the 20" Calibre CCU's tyres I had on had some uneven wear, so had a look in the garage and saw the original Devonport wheels that came with the van back in 2018 and had a bit of a moment. Hmmmmmm, got some 25mm spacers for the rear and 15mm spacers for the front from Tamar...

You may have something that isn’t listed so let me know and I will add it to the list

Hi i have some air ride parts to sell, all 4 air bags plus the compressor. Been told they are worth £1000+ . Open to offers
