What’s the best air suspension kit I can get?

[Rids]

Right I’m still kicking around how to get something that meets my requirements to go lower than VB and higher than ABP so how about - ABP with 30mm lift kit? Viable or GTFO?

Plush now do a “lift” version...

 

[Jayjmac]

I just got mine back from Plush, I’ve Found Luke & Scot knowledge and helpful.
I’m not aiming low but it will sit the mud flaps on the ground. Can’t drive like that though as tyres catching everywhere.
Drives great, so far i’m v happy.

Hi
It’s a 4Motion T32.
I swapped from OE suspension to ABP struts with Bilstein dampers controlled by a the airlift performance 3H controller, so it has height sensors all round & controls to height not pressure.
It has twin compressors and twin smaller diameter tanks and it is all mounted neatly under the van.
It has sound deadening round the compressors & is reasonably quiet, well apart from the exhaust “pwoosh” noise when dropping... I’m Investigating a a slow down valve and silencer for that.
I’d say it goes way too low; mud flaps on the deck and all wheels catching in the arches... and I am wondering if I should have had their lift version.
Anyhow I’ve reprogrammed the “all down” button to be as low as it goes without catching, I won’t be driving at this height except to crawl under a very low barrier into a pan flat car park.
I think the ride is great so much less harsh than it was.
I’ll post some pics at the different height I have set.
As for the wheel/tyres; they are 255/50R18 on 8” rims with ET43 so they sit out quite close to the arches.
I’ll just go get some pics...

Great! That should help everyone.

fantastic wheel and tyre information. Like I always say it’s all about offset and tyres

 

[Rids]

Fully up (maybe a few mm up on standard)

 

[Rids]

My “high” setting...

My new normal...


Low (for motorways)...


As low as it goes without catching, I can just slide the airlift manual between the tyres & the (unmodified) arch liners...

Don’t forget to have 4 wheel alignment done if you haven’t already.

Gonna get a few hundred miles on it at the new normal height then book in, prob next week.
Can anyone recommend a good place in the Chesterfield/Sheffield area?

Evening Team. Does anyone else have problems with the Accu Air App not work on Samsung devices? None of my Samsung devices connect but my wifes iPhone connects fine. The Bluetooth just says an app is needed for this to work. Cheers

I've been running air for about a month and cant fault it at all. Its so much comfier than standard and the same comfort no matter what height your driving at.
I used Plush to supply and fit (ABP) with accuair self levelling management and also 20 inch wheels.
Expensive yes but if I was to do it again I think I would.

Mines at plush second time with air can’t wait

Had mine for 18 months now, I would not be without it. Recently replaced the manifold as one of the pressure sensors was on its way out. Easy to fit yourself though. To get the most out of the usage I.e. aired out, you need to ensure you have the correct width/offset wheels. Mine is ABP 3H with Bilsteins .

Best purchase ever I had it on my blackberry t6 now going on my new one.. this looks great

 

[Alexanderson84]

My vossen are 9j et35 front and 10j et35 rear guys from prestige wheels know there stuff. You do have the cut a letter box size out of front arch but looks a perfect fit if you want to fill the arches

[Paul Greathead]

I have the Goldschmitt full air (Goldschmitt Full Air Suspension Single Axle | Travelworld Shop) on mine (both axels) - the van used to be a demonstrator for the UK dealer. I don't really need it though so was thinking of trying to get it removed and sold on... but it's a big install.

Sorry for the necro, I didn't notice this was a pinned thread!

I have the accuair elevel+ system supplied and fitted by plush
