The time has come... I am able to get air ride for my car!! I am unbelievably excited :D I have heard great things about Randode's kit in the past, and I have kept them in mind all this time and I believe that that's the one that I am going to go with. Here comes the insanely stupid question: When you buy the kit from randode.com, everything is included right?

And whenever I would get around to having it installed, would you guys suggest any special ideas for where to put the tank or any special tid bits of information that I might be missing out on.

Thanks :D

 

Might I suggest you take a little vacation to Arizona and have Randy install it himself.

 

That thought has crossed my mind.... But I can't afford to do that unfortunately

 

You want lowwwwwww, definately hit up randode.com...Or call him...He may not answer right away because he's usually under a car but he will get back with...And understand there is no "they" with randode its just "he"...Right now he's bagging another Cube

 

I was pretty much sold with randode a few years ago... I just never had the money. I have heard nothing but great things about him. I'm just wanting to make sure that there aren't extra parts or anything that I would need to purchase.

 

I can tell you, Randode knows his stuff. I have been chatting with him back and forth over the last few days, and seems like a really chill guy(atleast via text message) He ALWAYS seems to be working on something, so texting or calling him may be the best bet.

 

randode or nothing. he does a great install with good products.

 

randode has a good reputation from what i hear. i personally went with air runner and am extremely happy with it. from the pics i see online it seems like randode's kits gets about an inch or so lower then my air runner kit. ive had this for almost 2 years installed by eight08customs (now also known as forjworks) and havent had any problems. its my daily driver and it has been extremely dependable. he modified the install a bunch for me to make it better. amazing work from marshall but not really an option for you cause hes over here in hawaii.
heres a couple pics









good luck making your decision. just keep this in mind, your install is 5x more important then the kit you choose to go with. dont just let anybody do it for you, go with someone as bad as$ as marshall or randode

 

thanks guys i definitely wish randode was local because i would have him install it in a minute!!! but since he's a few states away... I have my own install guy that's done a lot of work on my car for me and i completely trust him.

oh and thanks for the input of air runner. i'll look into that one too, but it's gonna be tough to compete with my somewhat already made up mind

 

The install will make or break the whole system. I have bagged many rides, of all sorts and even helped a few friends who just wanted to have air ride, and went with what they "could afford" at the time. The parts you use will make all the diffirence. If your spending the money to go with Randode's system, don't skip out on the little things like fittings, water traps, line. etc. It's always the little things that cause the problems, that and poor planning

 

Randy's install's are ridiculously CLEAN and he's very **** (no ___ jokes !!! Install's make it or break it...I'm assuming by your location your in California? So that makes you our neighbor...Make the drive, have randode install it, and make a vacation out of it...

 

So are there things that aren't included in the Randode kit that I would have to buy afterwards?? I'm just totally new to air ride, so sorry if that's a stupid noob question

The guy that I'm gonna have to my install is ridiculously **** too... so I'm not too worried about that And yes I live in California, but it's northern California, so that adds a little bit of extra time to the drive. If I was in So Cal it wouldn't be as big of a deal

 

If your getting a COMPLETE kit (Air Stunner) from Randode then it will have everything that you need. Just make sure you install guy has done some air installs before, and if you can maybe check out some of his work. A half ___ install is just not worth the time, money or danger that you may put yourself in, as well as others.

 

Good to know That is the answer i was looking for!! And I know my install guy is definitely not gonna do a half-___ job

 

yep the kit has everything todo the install , might just need the wire for the switch box the wire from the vavles to the front of the car

 

Air suspension is not difficult to install, everyone who says it is hasn't done it themselves.

A true car guy with a garage and his own or borrowed tools can install an air suspension system in a weekend with a buddy or two. This isn't a truck where you have to notch the frame and weld mounts onto the axle or build a 4-link etc, this is a simple bolt on application. Just take your time on mounting everything and don't ghetto half ___ anything. If you use push to connect fittings, try not to push the air line in and out too many times. They are made to be re-usable BUT after you insert and extract the airline more then 2 or 3 times you may develop air leaks. If you use compression fittings, make sure you use plastic feral's NOT the brass ones they come with. I don't know what you plan on using, either works fine if you take the time do install properly.

Sounds like you are doing your research, have fun with the install and be sure to update us with photos.

 

Wow thanks pOrk. That was some good advice im definitely trying to do all the research I can, because I wanna do this right the first time. I had e-mailed randode about a week ago with a few questions, but I haven't received a response from him...

And don't worry, I will be definitely be keeping you updated and ill post pics when its all done

 

If you go with any ready to bolt up systems Randode, www.Forjworks.com, Air runner its pretty much straight forward install, infact easier than changing out the springs. Just have to know how to wire stuffs.

What makes or breaks an air system is always the quality of the install.

 

I will call Randy and tell him to check this thread and his emails...He gets pretty busy being a 1-man operation...

***Edit*** Just got off the phone with him...He said to call him @ 602-904-0542...He is backed up with PM's and emails...

 

Thanks man! I definitely appreciate it :D I will definitely give him a call real soon. I can't wait to buy it!!
