Airbags for Coiled Spring Frontends
We do not sell a universal kit. Our struts are built EXACTLY to
Original Equipment Specifications. In most cases, you simply
remove your factory strut and install the Airstrut. We include a
Schrader manual fill valve so you can test the travel and ride height
before you hook up your Plug & Play air Management System.
Remove Factory Strut. In most cases, you will reinstall the top
bearing plates shown below.

On many of our struts, you might find an extra set of mounting holes
on the bottom Clevis. For the lowest position, select the top holes.
After securing in place, install the supplied Schrader Manual fill
valve, and air up to approximately 85lbs, with the wheel on, and on
the ground. making sure that your strut does not contact any body
parts during the travel. It is possible on rare cases, that the inner
fender may have to be trimmed to allow full travel without contact.
Air Management
NOTE: If you are on a tight budget, you can leave the Schrader
Valves installed, and use a small pump to adjust your height. There
are many Air Management Options, but the only one you should
consider is the Plug & Play, because ALL of the wiring and plumbing
of the valves and switches is already done for you.
With Plug and Play, all you have to do is run the supplied airlines
from your strut, or bags, and just Plug them into the pre-installed
fittings on the back side of the Plug & Play.
Install supplied Pressure shutoff Switch on the Airtank, and run the
red wiring harness lead to the switch.
Install the Backflow Check Valve at the Airtank, using Teflon tape,
making sure that the arrow points towards the tank.
Run Black Nylon Airhose from outlet port on the tank, to the Valve
Port on the topside of the Plug & Play
Run airhose from the Compressor outlet to the CheckValve on tank.
Gauge & Switch Panel is completely prewired. Determine where you
are going to place the control panel, then trim wire length if
necessary, connect each COLOR CODED wire into the backside of
the gauge. Plug the other end into the Molex Connector on the Plug
& Play box. Each switch has 3-Positions, one for up/neutral/down.
They control each Airbag independently. Each Gauge has 2 needles
giving you control over the air pressure in all 4 bags independantly.
Then connect the red 8-Gauge wire to the Battery, and the other wire
to a VERY GOOD clean ground on your frame or engine.
You can be sure that we include everything you need for your kit,
right down to the Teflon tape for the bag and strut fittings.
Other manufacturers sell you a kit that is Universal, costs more, and
you get less for your money. Our International customers will find
that the extra cost for shipping is much less money than buying from
a distributor. Email us at sales@airbagit.com
