Air Lift
Re: Air Lift
I put the kit on my qx4. I should start off by saying the kit is amazing IF YOU USE IT AS DIRECTED, I have a big stereo and this kit can actually even lift me passed stock height.
I ruined a kit by being lazy though, first time I bought it I installed it without drilling out the spring perch (there a little hole already there, it isnt big enough). Take the springs out and drill the hole!!
You HAVE to keep 5 psi in the bags or the springs tear them up, when I didnt drill the hole, my line rubbed until it leaked. I figured the bags would be fine if left unpumped for a few days until I could pull the spring and drill it. Well I was wrong, the springs wore holes in the sides of the bags
I also highly recomend running a schrader valve for each bag so you can do seperate psi levels per side, I run 13-14 psi on the drivers side, and 10 psi on the passenger side. Feels best there, probly because its mostly me alone in the car.
For s*** and giggles I tried 35 psi one day, god damn was it ever high and stiff and heck, I could jump on my hitch and barely get it to bounce an inch. Rode way to rough though.
In short I highly recomend the kit. It works perfect, and lasts through canadian winter... must be good
