Top Air Ride Kits?

[renegade8720]

I am a total greenhorn when it comes to air ride which is why I was looking for a complete kit with an easy install (plug and play). I talked with the reps at the Street Rod Nationals. I really like the adjustability of the Air Ride Technologies set up with the new Level Pro set up with aiutomatic leveling and independent control over each corner. Does anyone else offer a simular quality system? O r should I just bite the bullet and go for the ART setup?

Like Porter stated, piecing a kit together will save money but the drawback is you have to know what you need & what you're doing.

Will you be installing whatever 'kit' you decide to go with? If no, I suggest you find the shop you plan to deal with & see what they recommend. If you plan to do the install, talk w/various vendors about what you want in a system, what your budget is, & what your skill level is. Compare the answers & see if their suggestions form a trend. My guess is you'll hear alot about AirRide & SuicideDoors as the most popular parts sources.

Also, some food for thought..... Reconsider ART. Yes their pricing might be high initially, but typically their stuff is simple bolt-in stuff which saves the cost of having to pay a fabrication shop . I know a guy that paid a local shop here in town $5K to install a custom air-ride set-up on his 01. The truck was back in that shop twice on a flatbed because their 'custom' rear 3-link kept binding & breaking rod ends. The 3rd (yes 3rd) & final time, it broke something in back again & it caused him to hit a curb basically totaling the truck.

He could have bought an ART Cool-Ride/Air Bar rear for about the same money & gotten products that were engineered to work correctly & still be driving his truck.

If it's an auto leveling system you want, I would not recommend anybody other than Air Ride Technologies. The LevelPro works exactly how it is intended. I have installed several and have been 100% satisfied.
