EVERYONE WITH AIR CYLINDERS.....READ THIS...
i had cylinders installed on my civic, i took them out after nearly 60k miles, you must watch two things...........the little filters on the lower ports need to stay, if the get knocked off or you fail to put them on it will and i mean willl reasult in leakage because of dirt build up on the inner o-rings if this happens it will cause air leakage out of the bottom port......to remedy this you must take the cylinder apart and manually clean and re lube it......next..........A REAL BIGGIE>>>>keep you eyes on the uretahne bushings on the top, over tightening under tightening will cause strut tower crack.....i am serious plus if the bushings become crushed due to wear, replace them..........or they will cause cracks..........this has happend to me and several others.....AIR RIDE ROCKS JUST WATCH YOUR MAINT........you will need to lube those rods peroidically regardless of what aim EAC or anyone tells you i have installed many systems and been around bags and rods for 5-6 years now......any questions drop me an e-mail

I have the easystreet kit installed on my B.O.P. xb. It is awesome. The guys at Easystreet were more than happy to answer any of the questions I had. I had one problem with the driver rear sleeve bag. It didn't seal correctly from the factory and I happened to be the one in a million people with the seal failure. I received a new one in two days under warranty. I have very many people asking me how I like my kit, I LOVE IT!!! Respect the airride and it will respect you. Ask a few of the people on here that live in Phoenix, they could tell you how the system looks and performs. If anyone has any installation questions, lemme know.

have you taken out your rear bumpstops yet? Take out the bumpstops from the rear shocks and either cut them in half or remove them completely and it will drop considerably.

Air Camber Issues in the front?

I think i found a way to get it perfect:

either get the EZcam camber bolts from any goldline dealer (precicions muffler in ca, scion specialties of vegas...) part# 81260, adjusts +-1.75 costs $47

or from toyota, part #90105 - 14147 aka "crash bolt?" cost $2.16 each bolt, so under 10 for 4...and that supposedly will cure the problem (ill be ordering them today; should get them in a few days...

these are the most economical ways, and my true suggestion would be to go with Goldline; the bolts are thicker and offer a better range of adjustment... we'll c how this goes...

UPDATE: on the use of the "crash Bolt"

the only place it can be used is the lower bolt hole in the bracket' the upper can be pushed back as far as it's slotted, and then it hits the shock.. so it won't go in further.

int he lower bolt hole; i had a huge improvement in handeling; and it's a good fix for $5 even if it's not perfect yet.. though i'll never run rims w/that camber...

ill update again when/if i get the ezCam bolts in

well, its been a while since ive had a chance to update the news on my air ride... teh crash bolt caused quite a bit of negative camber....in a few hundred miles ive already got the steel belt of the tire showing...

now my question: if i were to have my car aligned with air suspension, then go back to goldline coils up front..will i need to have it re-aligned?

im guessing yes; someone pm me about it if possible. thx!

I am runnign a FBI rides air suspension setup with easy street strut bags on the front. I also am running Camber plates from FBI which they customized for the scion bolt pattern. No more cambe rissues and tire wearing. Worked like a charm and yes if you were to go back to springs you would need to get allignment again.

Default scion xb and bottoming out/ heavy load

hi everyone
new to the forum here
would like to get a scion xb but alswyas have about 300 lbs of musci gear in the back,
i live in new england so I'm concerned about bottoming out with the load and how it will all go in the winter any ideas to beef up the rear suspension, i'm actually looking not to lower the car but to keep the rear end up with the 300lbs in the back

thanks!

Air Lift sells a Load Assist kit for the rears. You don't replace any suspension components,you're installing a pair of airbags inside the rear springs. Part # 60744
