The airlift kit comes with 4 corner gauges, I chose not to install them. The problem with a noisy strut isn't in all of them, Ive had 4 and none of mine made noise when install correctly. The airlift kit has alot of issues, the clunk noise isn't very high on my list of things that need to be corrected.

Id be much happier if they redesigned the strut to give you a little negative camber at full drop.

Besides for just a little bit more then airrunner kit you could pay a shop to do a full custom system, and be laid all the way out.

brianxb what are you running in the front? i am really not happy with the strut in the front, i hate the way the airline is all the way up top, making it difficult to run airlines and the noises i hate, makes you feel unsafe when driving.

mrgeorgegarcia

did you roll your front fenders?

scion1616

no but i built some aluminum brackets to replace the big plastic one from the factory in the front.

mrgeorgegarcia

can you explain exactly what you mean about the brackets.

those air struts that you are selling, ho is the installation compared to easystreet
and is there any noise or rattles, and the air hose how did you route it?

have any of you people ever had experience with air suspension and such before bagging your xb's?

Spider13

I had none, never even really considered doing it before. But its far from rocket science. It's a big job, but nothing is really hard.

I am running the EAI front cylinders and an air accumulator to smooth out the ride. At 80psi it rides great. The airlines are still at the top and you need to run them with enough slack to let it move a bit. My lines are run inside my car. They then go through the firewall into the engine bay, loop around the front of the headlight area and back into the fender well for attachment. This allows play in the lines to move.

in order to tighten the nut on top without the strut spinning. You need to crank it down with an impact wrench. Sucks, but true. I finally found someone with an air compressor and i got it fixed.

mrgeorgegarcia

are you using air accumulators in the front and rear and if so how many and what brand, and where are they installed exactly.....sorry for all the questions.

also are you using a camber kit, my front tires are putting pressure on the front bumper when fully dumped.

A guy in our club is having the clunking issue.

I have the easy street kit in the garage, but i'm getting hesitant to use it...
I had a Bagged S10 with a 4 link FBSS etc... It was a pain, I hopped that this kit
would be reliable. I don't want to spend $2200 on air runner, it dosen't look like it even gets that low. I'm frustrated.

i received the repair kit from airlift today and installed everything back together, and i also cranked the strut bolts allthe way down with an airgun, no more rattles, i just need to find air leaks now, what type of fittings is everyone using on the front struts, i think the push on connectors are loosing air somehow.

J_A_Trevino

just curious as to why you are selling these and what are you running now?
