I am Looking for some feedback on how you like The Universal Air Suspension (U.A.S.) Air ride kits for the XB?

Is there any questions you have on the Air kits you already have on your XB?

IM am in the process of fitting the first gen kit on the 08 XBs. its pretty much up front and just some minor adj. for the rear to make it fit. Lucky yhe new XBs there a hole that you can access on the top of the rear perch in which you can use the exisiting hole to bolt the top in. I just had to fabricate a new upper mount.

I think if you guys offered an actual kit maybe based off of Marshall's fabricated brackets etc it would sell better. Not everyone has access to the proper equipment and/or the knowledge to make the adjustments needed to fit it. If you made a true "bolt on" kit I know I would be in line to buy it!

im just going front and back.. no lowrider side to side action. i need advice on what gauge i should use. i know there the round one and that rectangle one they both cost the same..

UniversalAirSuspension

We do offer a complete bolt on kits for the first gen xb with Koni Struts, its not as popular cause it cost $550 more. Seems 90-95% of our customers rather just modify the stock spring perch on the factory struts.

If your talking about digital gauges, We have found that Dakota Digital Gauges Work the best for us and they have great Customer service. I wouldnt use any other Digital myself. You can also go with a regular round dual needle gauge for a front back system, We use the Viair 220 psi gauge, due to it handles the higher pressure and dont have the problems like the standerd 150 psi gauges do.

what is better

this one



or this one




and what else will need? the senders?

I guess I am the 5-10% who don't mind paying the extra for a kit that I don't have to modify anything to install.

Quality of the two are the Same, it's just a prefference on what you think would look better to match up with the dash or where your going to mount it.

you need the digital senders and fittings to adapt them in. oh yeh and some standerd wire to wire it up.

i have bags on my silveardo. ..and at first i got Dakota Digital gauges but replaced them with analog gauges from KP Components which are much better. the digital ones were inconsistent. they sent me a few replacements but i was never satisfied...look into KP Components.

got the bags in my 08 xb.. had to fabricate the front.. it worked but it raised my car 1 inch more when its all the way down.. i think i have to lower the saddle more.. I dont know if other brand of bags has this metal sleve inside of the bag to keep it from colapsing all the way down.. but if it didnt have that sleave it would slam.. i can lower the saddle one more inch before it rub the tire.. but that will only bring me to where I started with the drop springs.. I want to tuck the tires.. Also it will have no air and be all the way down so the ride going to be rough as hell..

the rear i know what i have to do.. i it tucks about 1/4 if the tire and i can get it to go lower by shaving the mounts and taking out the bump stops in the shocks and getting shorter shocks..

Any advice on what i should do..

here is the front strut set up

I installed the rectangular digital gauge in my buddy Ray's xB. Its pretty sweet. And since its electric, its easier to run wires than air line.

alright im pretty much done.. the first Bagged 2nd gen!!!



had to modifiy the crap out of the front to get it to go lower.. but Ill have to warranty the right front bag in which has a leak in it where UAS crimps it..



I can go lower if i can find pillowball mounts.. it will prob bring it down another inch.



the rear Ill just make some minor Adj to get it to go a little lower.. shorter shocks and takingout the bump stops

thanks man..

On the 1st gen we would flip the upper factory bearing plate to the inside of the engine compartment and it would drop another 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches on most cars. Did you try that yet? if not call me and we can work on getting it lower together.
