It saved a bit of money. Also I was able to keep the stock suspension settings with have a code pop up on the dash. You could get a code delete but that’s another mod to add. Using the universal bags gives you airbag functionality while keeping your adaptive suspension intact
Looks great bro! Can you let me know where you got the universal airbags from? I just bought a airlift system used but it has the whole strut and air bag together I wanna keep my factory settings like you did
Thanks bro, my installer actually ordered it for me. But universal bags should have a site, and if you google universal bags air lift kit I think it comes up
Looks good. Install looks clean. Not sure I would drill bumper for the purge valve but I can understand needing a solid low mount point. Definitely have the gears turning...
Haha, with this setup up you can slide it. It still has stock strut so it rides pretty much the same. Now if you pop a tire or something crazy while doing maneuvering like that and it could cause a leak. But for the most part you will be good
@@d0ughmn982 hey brother, I actually don’t have the car anymore. I had the kit for like 16 months and it was great. No issues at all, I took the kit off and sold it before I sold the car.
I would not set the condensation valve around the tires. I have had a few rock guards and even the diffusers get tore up from road debris. Would suck to pop that nipple with a rock.
@@DavidinHD1 Any recommendations now that you are a year in to this system have you made a video? I am about to put on an SKS widebody on and was looking to bag it after.
@jjak75 yeah, if you want a system and keep your adaptive suspension function… they make sure when you get the airlift system you don’t get the bags or struts from them. All you need is the air management system and all the air lines with compressor. The airlift strut tends to cause clunking sounds when going from being aired out to normal drive height when left low for a long period of time. The universal bag combo is great piece. I sold the car and the air lift system separately so I can’t provide a review of it now.
Looks sick! Few questions: So this didn't mess with the adaptive suspension Dodge has? Universal bags, what exactly does that mean is it an option you have when you purchase the system? Also, the condensation valves, do you just literally twist the valves at the intervals you mention? Looking into this for my widebody charger. How much did it run you with install?
What’s up boss. No it does not mess with the adaptive suspension, as the stock strut stays in place. Universal Bags is the brand, instead of buying the airlift bag or strut system and just buy the universal bags and take your springs off and these go right over your strut. The airlift system wires right up to the universal bags. The valves you just push the tip in, like if you release air out of a tire, all the condensation will come out.
I plan on doing this to my hellcat too and was wondering when you bought the universal bags, did you have to buy the lines/ wires for them separately or does the air lift performance kit come with them?
Clean! I needed to see this, I just bought the same set up it looks like you used 90’s for the fittings coming out of the tank? Did they come with the setup?
Sweet ride. I wish i could hide a whole 4 gal tank and compressors in my small trunk, lol. My spare tire area isnt big enough. I have Airlift suspension on a Camaro 2SS. I've been on air for 3 years now. It was my first mod, and knowing what i know now, I'd buy it again. After air, i can never go back to static. Theres just too many cons with static and too many pros with air.
I did love the bags and on the stock struts it didn’t feel floaty. The 2SS Camaros have a spare? I had a 2SS 1 LE and I don’t think it had a spare. Mine was a 2014, what year is yours
@DavidinHD1 It's a 2013. The first year they upgraded the interior, and the last year before they changed the headlights and taillights. It did not come with a spare, but It still had the spare tire area where the spare would be. Instead, there was a foam disc. At first, I thought the dealer left it out but later learned Chevy didn't bother with a spare tire due to the size of the 4 piston brembos. Instead, there was a compressor and goop. I later bought a spare and a kit off eBay. It's a snug fit, but it works. The kit itself is basically a wheel adapter/spacer that extends the spare wheel away from the caliper and those pesky Rollerskate front brake pads. I hate spacers, but in the event of a flat, I didn't trust onstar, and it would just need to be long enough for me to get it to a tire shop. Thankfully, I haven't had to use it yet.
@DavidinHD1 2013, also best to my knowledge, was the first year they introduced the touch screen head unit/ Chevy MyLink. I wanted all the bells and whistles without those new taillights and headlights.
