Hey everybody! Just wanted to take a second to introduce myself and the company I work for. My name is Jeremy, I AM NOT A SALES GUY, I am a die hard Ford guy that wants to help people, that share my Mustang passion, understand performance air suspension. Yes I said air suspension and performance in the same sentence!!!

Air Lift Company has been around since 1949 and has been involved in the early days of NASCAR and also many years in drag racing, we are no strangers to the race track. We put a ton of time, research and money into our suspension systems to ensure they fit, work and last.

Alright I know what you are thinking and yea, yea I have heard it all before... Air suspension is for '64 Impalas in rap videos.... Air suspension and performance?! ROTFLMAO... I don't want to hop my car off the ground.... If people still believe all this, guys it is time to cut the mullets and get into the 21 century!

Most of us has had a buddy with an S-10 on air bags and no shocks bouncing down the road. That is not what we do! We build suspensions you can drive low, beat on at the track, but still allow you to get over speed bumps with a touch of a button. All of this and still have a nice ride, so the wife will be happy! Performance air suspension has come along way and we have the track data to prove it.

Anyway enough rambling, I really look forward to hanging out here. If any of you guys have questions, please let me know! We will be attending several Mustang shows and track events this year, if you are around stop by our booth and say hi. If you are in the Michigan area and want to see what we are about stop by and take a ride in our Mustang, you will be nothing but impressed!

If you want to get a hold of me, here is my info [email protected] or 517-999-2121

Here are a couple videos and pics of who we are!

Very cool. Love the look and the low stance, but have always been put off by all the problems that come with most air ride setups.

Man how cool would it be slammed to the ground at shows and have ride height after the show to get over the bumps in the road.

Look at it this way, semi-trucks carrying thousands of pounds, going hundreds of thousands of miles depend on air suspension. Technology has came along way on these systems.

We test all of our struts in a rig that simulates 100,000 miles and there are plenty of people that daily drive a bagged vehicle with no issues. In fact my 57 year old mother has driven a Mustang on air suspension for the last 2 years without a single issue.

Very good point. I guess it is hard to combat the old stereo types that are given for air bag cars. No way against them at all. I truely like the low sleek look that airbags give a car, no doubt. Maybe something I might think about my ride, would look awesome. If I could hide all the components under the car it would be killer. Was thinking about taken the spare tire area out and making it flat. Would be perfect to hide a tank and compressor and solenoids

Btw, welcome to the forum.

Some killer looking rides on your guys website!

We need to talk! It's a long way off, but I'm building an '85 Ranger that will end up with a transfer case / front suspension from a 2000 Explorer. I want 2WD (or lower) ride height with the ability to get some clearance for the 'occasional' snow in my neck of the woods.

Let me know when you get to that point I can get you set up!

Actually both. I have a customer that dropped 0.04 off of his 60 ft time with our kit. We also have track data proving faster lap times over lowering springs and some high end coilovers on road courses.

As the weather breaks here in Michigan we are planning to hit the tracks hard, so stay tuned for some cool videos and test info.

Airbags can rock it!

I've got airbags on the back of my sled from FAST. You cannot believe the ride compared to old setup. Airbags have indeed come a long way!

I have always been interested in the kit that Air ride used for that muscle car showdown a couple of years back. It showed potential and even through all of the punishment it went through it still kept going. I have wanted to try it just afraid of the all the stuff needed to install the suspension, like the tank, pumps, and regulators. My local road course does not allow anything in the trunks unless it is bolted down and secure and even then they question alot of stuff. They even told me to remove my Shaker 1000 subs even though they are bolted down.

Hey Jeremy good to see you here. I love my Air Lift suspension. Most people don't realize that your systems are built for performance, versatility, and pure visual awesomeness. For example, I bet most people don't know that the air lines are D.O.T. approved. Same stuff that goes on semi's.

PS - I have no affiliation with air lift. I'm just a happy customer.
