Re: Ridetech vs. accuair

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

Re: Ridetech vs. accuair
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.

Re: Ridetech vs. accuair
After purchasing the E2 Air ride setup I really wish I would have gone with Accuair.

Re: Ridetech vs. 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 . . . .

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

Re: Ridetech vs. accuair
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.

Re: Ridetech vs. accuair
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' http://www.djdlabs.com/ACCUAIR2/ And some for my Ride Tech Review. http://www.djdlabs.com/BIG%20RED%20V...NAL/index.html Like I said both great products.
