Both are great companies only bad thing i can say about both is the price lol.It depends your taste and how you want your controler to look between the two.If you want a 3rd option airlift has a new system out http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.p...cat=632&page=1

Looks like a decent kit for the price. It seems like I have read a few complaints about ridetech and pre-set ride heights.

We have dealt with both companies for a long time. They both make quality products and have excellent customer service.

If I was given the choice to between an Accuair with all the bells and whistles and the RideTech with all the bells and whistles.... my personal choice would be the Accuair.

What you read probably referred to the old e2 version. No problems with e3, at least with my two.

I also recommend the Accuair. The parts are high quality and the customer service is second to none. I love the plug n play setup.

After purchasing the E2 Air ride setup I really wish I would have gone with Accuair.

Well for me Both are excellent companies only bad factor i can say about both is their costs. It relies upon your taste and how you want your controller to look between the two. If you want a 3rd choice airlift has a new program out . . . Simply just search on the web and you may find the appropriate answers . . . .

For me the accuair manifold is much cleaner than the RideTech 1/4" or big red versions.

The one item that I do not like about the AccuAir manifold is that you can not use a threaded fitting straight out of the block. This makes running a hard lined system more difficult, extra fittings and not very clean.

You can run copper line and just push it straight into the manifold push to connects. I have hard line coming out of the VU4 for the exhaust and silencers.

It seems to me its accuair hands down.

Great, I was unaware they had altered this.

I have done Reviews and test on both systems in my lab.

Honestly like said above both make amazing products with top notch quality and components.

As for features and design I give the leg up to AccuAir. Not just because I am friends with the owners :) But the fact that the extra time they put into the algorithms that run the systems makes for an amazing smartly designed system, that can handle deviations very well.

Here are some shots from one of my Reviews for 'Mini Truckin'

And some for my Ride Tech Review.

Like I said both great products.
