'68 air ride.
https://store.airslamit.com/c10-air-...FREpaQodVxsPnQ
Has anyone used this kit, or one like it?? No reviews on it and I'm not sure about the quality.... I've never bagged a truck before and don't know if it would be cheaper to piece it all together or buy a kit... I'd rather not spend more than $1500 at this point in the build... |
Re: '68 air ride.
Get with Travis from Pro Performance here in the vendors section and tell him what you want to do. He will set you up with good parts and a good price.

I didn't spend my money on real big name stuff. Universal 4 link from fleaBay, C notch from Thorbros, Street Edge for my drop spindle (who I might add has EXCELLENT EXCELLENT customer service, I got a spindle machined wrong for the tie rod and they rushed me a new one), Crown for bag mounts, Airslamit rear bags, used firestones in the front, Little Larrys for switches (Manual switches are the way to go!) and Viair compressor and switch/relay that goes in my no name air tank and a mom n pop shop sold me all the push connect fittings and DOT airline. All in I spent maybe $800 to bag my truck. Bag that truck man and don't listen to the naysayers. You ain't gotta spend $10K to bag it from Porterbuilt :metal: |

Re: '68 air ride.
That kit has no name air bags and valves i would be scared to run that stuff.

Re: '68 air ride.
I just found out airslamit is another company name for airbagit/chassistech do not buy anything from them,They are known for making/selling junk and giving you the run around if you need help or nicely told to kick rocks.
|
Re: '68 air ride.
I'm shocked they came up with another company name,Its sad you gotta change names or own 20 companies to trick people in to buying their junk.
|
Re: '68 air ride.
No matter how many times you tell someone bout a bad company like them....they say well i havent had any problems.....if i bought a truck wth any of their names parts on it i would take them off asap
|
Re: '68 air ride.
Same here for me i would throw it away today,We had a member a good while back bought a air system off them one of those boxes that did it all.He installed it fast and had problems leaking out of it.He called them they told him it was really old and out dated and they had no idea how to fix it.He just bought it and they never offered to replace it or do anything for him.That alone right there makes me not want anything to do with them.

Re: '68 air ride.
Guys Airslamit has absolutely nothing to do with airbagit/chassistech/Aim or any other Joe Morrow company. Airslamit sells Genuine Accuair, Airlift, and Airmaxxx products. Airbagit says generic parts with now warranty. The only thing the two companies share is the city they are in Mesa AZ.
|
Re: '68 air ride.
Airmaxxx and airslamit are the same company,If you use two or company names for a company thats a big red flag for me.I have messed with air ride for a while i have never heard of airmaxxx to this post another red flag to me also.

Re: '68 air ride.
I'll never understand why, the kits for the back of vehicles cost what they do..
STILL.. I'll never understand why the front kits still cost what they do.. I'll never understand why the same tank that is on a air compressor.. that cost 99.99 is 3-500.00 for just the tank for these kits.. Then the gold plated cost of the compressors.. |

Re: '68 air ride.
Airmaxxx is a new name to me and the compressors look like a viair brand and they just stuck their stick over it.The bags i can't tell who really made them which would worry me.

I am only pointing at the fact that we are not the same company that's it. I have been in the industry for almost 25 yrs and I have been a member of this site several times over the years. I only posted a thing because it drives me crazy when I see someone saying we are the same company or even related to that place. We work hard on customer service and when you get knocked down just because someone assumes you are someone else or did something it stings. |

As for the bags. They say Airmaxxx right in the rubber and have a lifetime replacement warranty against MFG defect. I can tell you the factory that makes them is the same factory that make another brand I know you familiar with and it is not airbagit thats for sure. lol |

names matter bro. negativity is the hardest thing to overcome for ANY business, much less a new business. regardless of whether it's true or not. not trying to beat you up, only offering a perspective from a person who has purchased thousands of dollars in air ride components over the past 10 years or so. as a consumer, negative word of mouth travels much much faster than positive. |
Re: '68 air ride.
I agree with you to a point and this is a good conversation so no worries about beating me up. This is good info, look man the good can't come with out out the bad. The bad is telling you what you need to fix or improve on. So hearing anything from customer could and should be used to help move any company forward.
I do agree bad news travels very fast. But you have to remember the C10 "group" if you will is small and tight bunch compared to the rest of the industry. So it is a little easier to separate yourself or make waves...lol. Also Alot of big and small companies in AZ use us to buy accuair or Airlift products because we always stock deep. |
Re: '68 air ride.
Travis you guys should look in to becoming on a vendor on here.We have a huge market on here with all the years trucks on here.
|
Re: '68 air ride.
Your right. Im gonna look in to that. Run special for any member of this forum. Let me find out how to do that.

Re: '68 air ride.
You only spend 10k on Porterbuilt if you use the extreme level kits. If you use the entry level kits it will be comparable to other kits
|
Re: '68 air ride.
So, has anyone used the airmaxx kit? I'm just looking for a system more for lowering when parked and lifting while driving. Already have a 2-5 lowering kit but looking for a better stance and a little lower while parked.

Re: '68 air ride.
I would do it! I would also add this to the set up

Re: '68 air ride.
For the OP.... you dont need a kit! Its not hard to bag a c10! Look at my bagged hot rod thread! Real deal top of the line equipment for cheap! If you know what to get then you can save money by shopping around! And for anyone wanting to ball on it cause its manual ....oh well thats what i wanted! I could have had the slam specialities manifold for $100 more but decided to keep it simple, accuair v4 would have only been $200 more😂
