Before Buying
Before you spend your hard earned money on an air suspension kit make sure you do your research. Don t let the keyboard clickers resell you another companies parts. We are the manufacturer of our gauges, brackets, air tube, valves, fittings, and tanks. The only thing we don t make is the Viair compressor and the Airlift Dominator air bags. That is because they are great products and a staple in the air ride industry. Why buy from a reseller? Go direct with the manufacturer.
Competitor Comparison
Other leading brands offer kits similar to ours at double the cost. They emphasize less critical components to steer attention away from some of their inferior parts. EZ Air Ride does not believe in selling anything other than superior products. Why is our price lower than the competitions than, you ask? Because we are not a big corporations paying wages for 80+ employees. We are a small company ran by a few blue jean wearing dudes, bringing the cost of the product down and the savings to you.
Air Tank
Many companies like to save a buck on the air tanks they send out in their kits. They like to sell 3 or 5 gallon tanks, hoping you'll fall for, it will fill up fast. Will it hold enough air to fill up your bags in one go? I guess if they talk you into buying a second tank. We are here to save you a headache and make your ride fun and safe. We offer an exclusive 7 gallon tank that we manufacture with all of our kits. Our tank fits perfectly in the trunk or under the bed between the frame rails of most trucks, giving you plenty of air to lift your vehicle. And with a special coating inside and out, our tanks will never corrode if properly taken care of. Save your time and money on installing two tanks and just buy a kit with the exact size tank your vehicle needs.
A common misconception with an aluminum tank is that users do not have to worry about rust. As it is true aluminum does not rust, condensation can still get into your air lines and valves causing rust and contaminating other major components. Our tank is made out of steel and has a coating inside and out for years of corrosion protection. This tank will last as long as you let it, if properly cared for.
Air Bags / Shocks
One competitor loves to talk about their shocks. They talk so much about their shocks they leave out the most important part of an air ride system, the air bag. Our competition uses Firestone air bags, which work great for what they were designed for, and that's not air ride. Friends don't let friends buy Firestone bags. Yes, that is a saying for a reason. Firestone may make great products, but in our opinion their air bags are only great for what they were originally made for... and that is big rig suspension and the seats of truckers bottoms. For example: on an old school Impala, a Firestone 2500lb bags will not start lifting the front end of the vehicle until around 140-150 PSI, but the AirLift Dominator will start lifting around 100 PSI. Unlike the Firestone, the Dominator will keep going to give the lift you desire and the ultimate drop without the swelling effect you get with a Firestone bag. Firestone bags balloon as they inflate which may cause the bag to rub on the sway bar, shocks, etc. This will ultimately end with the air bag failing. The Dominator has hardly any expansion and actually contracts as it lifts the vehicle. It also has more stroke than the Firestone bag. The Firestone 267c is rated by Firestone at a 4 inch travel height. The Dominators have 7.7 and 9.7 inches of usable stroke. With 600 pounds of pressure, heavy weight capacity, and higher stroke rating why would you choose anything other than an AirLift Dominator? Combine the Dominators with our exclusive Set It & Forget It brackets and you get a perfect marriage.
Brackets
Be on the lookout when you buy brackets from the other guys. They cut and roll metal, leaving unfinished and unsafe welds. Do you really want your vehicle sitting on that? You will also be lucky if your bracket is round. It appears as though none of these ABC Fab shops have any quality control in mind when designing a bracket. They don't consider specific vehicle types, instead they just give you a cup that bolts to the top side of your bag and a disk to weld on to your lower A Arm. We know one coil over car is not the same as the next coil over car. All of our brackets are proprietary to each specific vehicle. To save a buck, the other guys try to roll cut metal and tack-weld it into place. Do you want to try shoving an oblong bracket into you round spring pocket? We make our brackets with seamless pipe that we weld onto a durable steel disk, so you don t have to worry about your brackets bursting from shoddy welds. Our brackets will fit easily and safely in your vehicle's spring pocket. We also powder coat them to protect from rust while giving you a nice clean look. When you are shopping this kit around make sure your brackets are made with seamless pipe and not rolled metal.
Compressor
Introducing the Viair 444C Air Compressors! This heavy duty compressor brings the performance of a Viair 480C at less cost, less weight and less heat. These compressors are designed from the ground up to provide insane reliability paired with the performance you expect from a Viair product. The 444C air compressors feature a brand new, patent-pending, "intercooler" head design that helps disperse heat much more efficiently! It will fill our 7 gallon tank from 0 to 200 PSI in 14 minutes reliably and recharge from 165 back to 200 PSI in under a minute and a half! Our competitores will sell you any compressor they can get their hands on at the cheapest price. These inferior compressors our competitors sell are slow at filling your tank, they take longer to recharge, and they get very hot causing the user to constantly replace the compressor and even a safety hazard. The Viair compressors we sell are safe, reliable, and they will last you years to come.
