The 62 comes in for a complete RideTech suspension kit along with e-level air management and an AccuAir CVT. James steps it up a notch with a beautiful fabricated hard-line install.

Old guys building old cars. Such a simple show. No bullshit or drama like every other RUclips channel 👍🏻👍🏻
We keep it real, it’s easier that way 😉
Love seeing these older cars on air ride. They look so good laid out.
Handling is improved and they ride good too 😉
I love it when you guys have impalas on your channel! More 58-64 impalas please!
We have a 59’ coming up. Full air ride, disc brake conversion & power steering conversion. Stay tuned 👍🏼
Finally a 6 Deuce!!!! Awesome system , perfect timing too, going to be doing mine soon too!!
Right on, we’ve got all the right parts for ya. Let us know if we can help 👍🏼
Really nice work! Detail, detail, details! It's really Great to see "Craftsmen" working every Lil single thing out to create truly classic beauty & function in every step of the way! Too Kool 4 school! NICE! J

Nice work on the tank hard lines...gives it the pro finish touch
Thanks dude 👏🏼
Clean! Nice job
Thanks dude
Dammit what a bad ass ride 62 impala
Love your guy's logo.
Thanks man 👍🏼
Since I was 10 my favorite has been a 62
Dang, triple OG right there 😂
thats a very good video very nice work also
1958-1963 all the way!! Keep your 64s
Ok, we will keep them and all the 58-63’s 😈
Happy New Years!.😇.
Love your video’s. My Question is.?.
I have a 70 Chevy Impala and I love what you did with the white 64 Impala. And Now with the 62 Impala. What would the price be with the full setup. With only Front, Back, &, Pancake setup!. Plus keeping all my original parts on my ride.
Sorry for the delayed response Rey. Air ride for your Impala would start around $7500 installed and go up to around 10k with all the bells and whistles
Dope flick!
👏🏼👏🏼
Just Gorgeous!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Badass 62ss and even badass work. The 5 dislikes drive a Prius.
Thanks brother 👊🏼
awesome video guys would have liked to see how it sat aired out and full lift cheers
It got lots of lift, more height than stock. Check our social media for pics of it aired out 👍🏼
Any videos of how it lifts n lays out ?
Any issues with the exhaust heat near the rear bags? Also, any rubbing with wider tires in the rear? I'm starting on my 62' now and have concerns. Actually think about installing turn-down pipes before the rear axle to remove all doubt. Thoughts? Thanks in advance! Great looking deuce btw
Yeah definitely have to take in account the exhaust. Keep the heat away from the bags as much as possible and heat wrap if you have to. We can typically still run the exhaust along the outside of the frame over the axle.
Nice would have liked to see it going up and down though.
Noted 🤔
Watched the whole video a d didnt even see the end results.. I wanted to see how it sat at the highest a d lowest settings. Plus wanted to hear it.
Everything looks good. But my question to you is can the bag brackets be altered to have a lower stance when drop all the way down? If the goal is to lay frame will this setup work If the brackets were altered?
@switchsuspension
Damn a Dino check in, that impala is really nice. Can I have a job I'm willing to relocate and sleep in the parking 👍
😂
This might sound dumb, so I’m sorry about that, but where are the compressors located?
Beautiful install, great video. Thank you for the ideas. Looking to do my 64 this month, and this gave me a lot to work with
This install used the Accuair Endo CVT that had the compressor inside the air tank. Unfortunately that system was very prone to failure and every install we did has been swapped for traditional style external compressors
The trunk setup is beyond incredible. Cleanliness at it's finest. Great idea with the Custom tank mount. I noticed you mounted the tank with the two outside quick mounts and did not use the middle. No problems with just two mounts? Thanks in advance
Sorry for the delay Will, the tank is very structurally sound. I would be very surprised to see it become an issue 👍🏼
Switch Suspension thanks! I went ahead and built a tank bracket for my 63’ Lincoln and eliminated the middle mount. Also used your height sensor trim kit, awesome product. ✌🏻
Nice man, thank you !!!
@switch suspension… do you happen to make the bar for the tank mount? I have a 63 and this tank mount would look very clean in my car!!!
Still developing all these 💪🏼
What happened to Plug and Play in the beginning he said everything bolt in I see a lot of extra stuff going on
Did you need to cut or fabricate the front spring pocket for the new air bags not to rub?
No, there’s no trimming or fabrication on the front spring pockets
I am gonna do my '61 I was wondering,the rear end and the pan hard bar. doesn't the pan hard bar make the car s rear wheels go to one side more than the other when in full low mode?? thanks
Only when using the factory track bar. We use an adjustable track bar from Ridetech to keep it centered at the lower ride height
@@switchsuspension Thanks for the answer I did notice you did use a different bar awesome work was that kit 4500 bucks I don't think I can afford that
How long does this take (lookig for same set up on my 62 impala) and how far booked out are you guys?
Apologize for the delayed response. Typically we are 2-3 months out for full air suspension install
Nice!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Looks like the tail pipes are close to the rear bags, how much heat can air bags take?
We saw that too so we built heat shields to keep the bags happy but in the end still was too close so we re-routed the exhaust further away from the bags 👍🏼
@@switchsuspension thanks, love your videos got a lot of cool rides and info.
Waiting on the next installment.
What's the size of the tires and brand?
Way dig the FLAG!!!!
Thanks, ultimate CL score 🇺🇸
Around how much would something like this cost installed?
Sorry for the delayed response. Please give us a call or send an email 👍🏼
What does a setup like this cost installed on a 64 impala?
Lots of options but starts around 10k
Where are you guys located?? I want that for my impala
We’re in Mesa, Az 👊🏼
Love the content. Do ya'll do give a ways?
Thanks 👊🏼 we gave a truck away that got raffled off at the cruise to the pines show a couple years ago 🤷🏻♂️
How much is a set up like this installed ?
Every setup is a little different but 10-12k installed
Wanted to see it layed out
Check our social media 🙏🏼
Fb ? Instagram ?
Very nice and professional work but man that snare in the audio is the most annoying sound ever, had this video on mute most of the time lol
Do you guys sell online, if so what’s the link to this kit?
Yes we do www.switchsuspension.com
MERICA!!!
F*CK YEAH !!!
I got air bags and need installed on my 87 cutlass
One less all original less in thr world he just raised the value of them a little bit...id do the same
Not that it matters but I think it would have looked clean if you had painted the mounting bar for the tank with the same spatter paint that's in the rest of the trunk and left the tank chrome or even spatter paint on the tank too so it would kind of blend it in with the trunk but everyone has their likes and dislikes
All that suspension upgrade and you don't convert to disc brakes in front. What a shame.
Coming soon, relax 🤷🏻♂️
I know pornhub music when I hear it😅
😂
Let me drop off my 62
Gotta get in line homie. Give the sales guys a call or email
What your address
2340 W.Broadway Rd #105
Mesa, AZ 85202
I bet it's now been removed because it's expensive junk that didn't work.
Every CVT install we did has been converted to a VT with external compressors. The compressor tank was such a disappointment. Everything else from Accuair has been very reliable.
@@switchsuspension anything from accuair is JUNK.
Someone needs a haircut...... . . .. . ..
Na, I’m in a hair race and I’m winning 🏆
What a shame all original and you cut it up
Don’t bring yours around here, we’ll cut it up too 🤷🏻♂️
The way they treat the parts when they take it off they treat the parts like their trash it's disrespectful
We don’t just disrespect the old parts, we through them in the trash afterwards 🤣
3 inches worth of hardline???? What a waist
...could have left off the annoying drum track a bit..jus' sayin'
You put air bags in car but do not show air bags in action how stupid....
what kinda "action" do you want to see
Up and down hello..
I wish the new episodes were this long not 11 or 12 minutes y'all are so lazy now 🤔 just kidding but y'all are
