Nice Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Patlarny Vehicle History Principle (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one off product for discovering how to repair your car the simple way without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy at last got great success with it.
Might wanna look for a different setup if you are swapping "bad bags" every 2-3 years. Semis use bags for over a decade with HARD use. Maintenance also isn't really checking connections. It's emptying your air/water/oil separator. Adding oil to an inline oiler. Draining your air tank. Adding air system anti freeze if in a cold climate. Timing your air up times to see if your pump pistol seals are going bad. I would also recommend getting the pumps out of that confined space under the spare tire cover. they need air.
@@sammysosa389 I didn't bag a car. 5k on a truck will get you almost everything for a truck including 4 links, full air managment, bags, etc. If you have fab skill, you can bag a truck for like 1500-2500 while still using good parts if you shop around.
I love how proud you are about owning a v6 turbo. The car scene has really taken a turn and I understand this vid is dated but I digress good job keep it up!
Im sure anything you buy your dad he will love, just because your his son and im confident you'll know his likes and dislikes, so just loves your dad just as i am confident he loves you.
Its def higher on the to do list, that air tank will get condensation build up inside it, causing water to add up in the tank and then when u add air to the bags that water will be adding with it... over time it can cause the valves to start corroding and make them stop working right or cause them to not seal all the way.. it can also cause the bag to start dry rotting from inside out... so basically note that no matter which kind of air compressor setup it is, car, truck, work shop... they all need to be drained it's best to do it once a month atleast and if the weather changes and gets cold and hot alot then u should be doing it maybe more than once a month... also oil in the pumps to keep seals good on them.. sorry for making it so long but maybe it will help clear some questions for some...
hi can you please till me cuz i have challenger 2011 srt and im thinking to do it, its is better ride than the ome sus? how much cost you ? did it ever break ? if you get back in time will you but it ? thanks
Damn, bro. You’re good! You got me watching the whole video, and I didn’t learn a thing..... it’s common knowledge that these types of upgrades will require maintenance. Why would you have to wait for anyone to tell you that? Also, just a suggestion, instead of wasting viewers time, you could have skipped the first half of the video. That was irrelevant to your video headlines at all.... you might....MIGHT, get a little more subs from it. Smh 🤦🏻♂️
Idk if you have fixed the issue of the sliding subwoofer box but I have found the best solution. Buy a roll of velcro and stick it on all the corners of the sub box. The velcro will hold on to the trunks carpets and your box will never move again
Nobody ever tells you that a properly built hydraulic set up, with shocks or accumulators, will ride like a stock car, or better, and will last a lot longer than rubber balloons. I had both and then some, and while it might be a little more work to properly set up hydros, it's well worth it in the end. And no, you don't need 4 pumps and a trunk load of batteries.
Yeah I've only ever gotten amp wire and speaker wire from sound decision. And never been to trix. But I'll definitely have to check out trix. Thanks duder
Yes add springs back in the front and the rear u will still have the notch etc. If the leaf springs mounts are still there re install leaf springs and shocks if they aren't there just got to undo all that was modified. A lil tideous work but if u want it it can be done.
Is there's a way to prolong the air bags like to keeping them moisturizer and clean from all dirt. I mean one would assume if dirt gets in there while the car is in motion in creates friction over time it starts to dry rot and degrade
Obviously your doing something right you got way more subs. But my DIY or expectations when I click on tutorial. I get right to the point. As a first time viewer I watched 4 minutes of chilling with you before we start talking air.
I'd say that's not a rule. My rear bags are 17 yo and front I changed around 539 000 km or 340 000+ miles. But audi have enclosed airbag so no dirt or salt gets to them. Servicing dryer is important but most people dont even have a dryer
Got about 5 minutes into the video before I stopped cause I thought this would be about tractor trailer air bags and not a car air suspension. Although I did see your problem with the bass box and the amp. There are a couple of ways to stop that. One would be to mount the amp somewhere in the car and just run a long enough speaker wire to allow movement of the box. The other would be to use mounting brackets to hold the box in place. And lastly the easiest would be to purchase Weather Techs floor cargo organizer blocks. They come in a set of 4 gripping the carpet like it’s nailed to the floor. Assuming the carpet itself doesn’t move.
I have a 2006 cadillac with stock electronically controlled air suspension but i waunt to modify it to a switch so i could lift it and lower it . Is that possible ?
Do these air tanks collect water? My truck has air ride and I have to drain the tanks quarterly especially before the winter because the water will turn into ice causing my air system to not charge up.
can you let me know what system it is that you use? i want to know because this airlift system seems neat like other ones but it also has a detection system as you've said and i'm looking forward to getting into this airlift system.
I have bags on my 300c they give a smooth ride and look clean on lay frame. I can really grip the corners in a low settings even with 22's. Check out Bagriders they are a good company that can square you up. Set up range from about $1500 to $8000 but remember you pay for what you get. I have about $4800 so far and still going.
@@bigjonandry839 is $2000 a good enough "pay for what you get" price? will it be decent quality and do you know if some kits come with e level at this price?
Great ideal had my air bags for about 1 year now and i did notice one nut came off one of the rear brackets that where holding the bag so yes very dangerous but other then that all good.
Farleys World use Locktite on every single nut, bolt, screw, whatever if it’s really important and there is any concern over something coming loose. On top of lock washers and Nylock type nuts, Locktite will do you right. You can even get various types for things you need to break loose every once in a while.
Question: What's it like when you have 3 other BIG dudes in the car and you have to raise the psi to stay high? does the ride gets too stiff? how bad is it? Thanks!
Go on ebay and see how much it costs and add that much for the install, probably $6000 for a car that as Brand NEW cost less than $30.000 and they leak every once in a while SO be ready to spend $400-800 every year LOL
dude I say go for two uploads a week! that would be awesome. I'm still working on trying to find content for my channel lol. my biggest issue is I always ALWAYS forget to pull out the phone and take a video. and I also need to invest in a go pro at some point.
Sir. The problem people are having is that they clicked on the video based on the title. They get 5 minutes of talking. Honestly if a air system is correctly sized designed and installed it should have very few problems. Many vehicles have factory air ride systems and dont have issues for well over 10 years.
Question. You leave it up over night why? Is there a reason for this? I’m asking Bc I just bought some air suspension for my car. It’s not installed or anything yet. But I’m just trying get some feed back. Tia.

You better start spraying those bags with Aerospace 303 protectant or they will dry rot on you, they already look really dry!
Toooo much talk and zero info
how is the preference? you have a V6, but I have a v8 mustang and I like to give it hell.
Isn’t letting the water out of your tank the most important maintenance?

How’s it been holding up since you’ve made this video. I’m getting bags
At 3:56 did he say “my wires have came loost”😂
Nope.
u ever tried the velcro pads on the back on ur speaker box to keep it from sliding? that want u can pull it in and out when u need to as well
I haven’t tried it. Honestly I haven’t even thought much about it.
Weve been adding earth magnets to the boxes and building a "tray"
Can you adjust the suspension firmness? Soft around town? Firm for highway or autocross?
Bags get stiffer the higher they get. So it will be soft when low and hard when all the way up.
can you let me know what system it is that you use? i want to know because this airlift system seems neat like other ones but it also has a detection system as you've said and i'm looking forward to getting into this airlift system.
