Air Lift Company has Universal Struts!!!




Well yes, actually they do. It seems not to many people know this. When I was a shop owner I was asked plenty of times to put air suspension on cars, that kits weren't available for. After turning away so much business I needed to find a solution. Air Lift Company was my answer.

They have a full line of universal struts, fronts and rears. Sleeves and Bellows, also different lengths and valving. With all the different options the skies the limit on available applications. No more need to turn customers away when you have a kit for everyone.

Well last fall I was asked to fit a Lexus LS460 for E Shift Performance, located in Cliffwood Beach, NJ.

Not having a bolt on kit available I decided to use Air Lift's "Short Bellow-Over Universal strut Kit #75562" for the front and their "Long Sleeve-Over Universal Strut Kit #75567
" for the rear. To top it off we used Air Lift's Digital AutoPilot, for the air Management kit #27639.

I know it might seem like a tough job building custom struts, but it's not. A lot of shops have the ability to do some pretty basic fab work and that is all you need to build a custom air kit. Having the stock suspension in hand makes it even easier. All you are doing is building an exact replica of the upper and lower mounts. Then taking measurement's of the suspension travel. Once in hand a very straight forward build.

I hope this little bit of info will help steer you in the right direction when doing your next custom build. Shop owner's and builder's don't lose out on a job when you can contact Air Lift and get everything needed. From start to finish, they are there for any air suspension needs.

If you have any questions about Air Lift Products, or using their universal struts, feel free to ask.

These products can be found at www.airliftcompany.com, and through your local or online Air Lift Dealer.

2010 Camaro at Gingerman Raceway on Air Lift air suspension

Bitchin Camaro!!!




Not sure how many of you will get the title of this post. It was a Dead Milkmen song from the 80's and totally fit's Air Lift's new 2010 Chevy Camaro air suspension kit!

Until now air suspension carried the rep of being just for show. Well the guy's at Air Lift Company, have designed a product so amazing every Camaro owner should check it out.

With the powerful stance of it's 4" drop the 2010 Camaro becomes a real show stopper. When it comes to making a car look proper these guy's are the kings. And when it comes to making a show car do magic tricks like stand up and handle like a champ, Air Lift Company is leading the way.


I bet you didn't know that Air Lift Company set a record at the Silver State Classic this year for being the first car on air suspension to ever enter the race. Not only did they drive from Lansing, MI all the way to Nevada. They placed 11th with an average speed of 157mph in the 150mph class. Then made the journey home without skipping a beat.

The Air Lift Camaro kit is also capable of +1g cornering on stock tires! Show me another
suspension kit that will let you drop to the ground and tear up the track with
the push of a button.

When it comes to suspension design and innovation Air Lift Company is leading the way. If you are looking for more answers or just can't live without such an amazing product contact your local airlift dealer. They also have a dealer locater on the website.

The "Air Lift Company 2005-11 Ford Mustang" air suspension kit


Well here is another great product following the release of Air Lift's popular 2010 Chevy Camaro kit.

If you attended SEMA show this year you might have gotten a glimpse of it. It can also be seen at the LA Auto Show right at this very moment.

Not only does Air Lift improve the appearance with a 4" dropped stance, they also improved the handling. Finally, you can have that show car look, with real sports car handling.

Air Lift's car achieved 1.3g running some very abused BFG R1's in 245/45/18's, at Gingerman Raceway in MI.

This kit is amazing! Air Lift is paving the way for the guys and gals that want everything out of their vehicles.

So if you want to have that hammered to the ground show car look, the ability to run the track on the weekends, and be able to have a comfortable daily driver this is it.
