EAI Air Cylinders
Anyone have these? How they ride? I keep hearing everyone saying they are going with the EAI cylinders over EasyStreet, yet no stories of how the EAI's ride. Anyone have em?

Im using whatever comes in the easystreet air management setup. they are 3/8 or 1/2 inch.. The only complaint I have about the X Air cylinders is that the bearings are not sealed and have to be repacked every couple of months to keep them working fine. One of my bearings is starting to lock up. I may need to have it replaced...

I called around to see if I can just get the front suspension parts. I really hope I can. I am NOT gonna spend 3g's for a kit that shouldnt even cost more than $1500. I don't mind paying a lil more for just the front strut bags.

well I tell you what I had the eai on my Xb for almost 3 months and they rode life junk, I ve been doing air ride in the so cal area for a good 8 years and never liked to use air cylnders it really put straine on the strut towers. By the way 1/2 valves are the only way to go, I like SMC, or TORK , or Parkers if you want to spend . You shouldn't spend over 1,300.00 total for front air struts rear bags 8 1/2 valves and 2 tanks 2 compressors 100% duty lines fitting and brackets for the rear. mif you have any questions 'pm me'
