EasyStreet Air Ride Came In...WOW! (Progress Thread)

WOW! I wanna see the garage! haha

When your ready to lay out the 300C or Escalade let me know. There are some downsides to a F/B only system. Especially with a heavy SUV. You have to consider that without independent bag pressure for each wheel, the front bags are T'd off, so air can flow freely between the left and right bag. Same with in the rear. This means you have waayyy more body roll when you are cornering. IMHO F/B settups are unsafe because of this.

Another concern is if you pop one bag or line in the front, both bags will dump, where as with indepent valves/lines for each bag will mean only one will deflate, which in most cases keeps you high enough to keep driving.

Good to know, so a "quad" valve kit is best for safety and performance; I can handle that.

I would like to know what exact offset and wheel / tire sizing you are running; along with the specific info on the air kit. It seems that another potential good item would be to add a complete urethane bushing kit to managage against suspension deflection with the 4+ wheel size; even a sway bar kit and some chassis bracing.

Pedders for bushings.

I have the fully upgraded EasyStreet Air Ride kit from AirLift Company. The kit is sick, I love everything about it. It even has auto-ride height setting. All you do is push the ride height button and it shoots right to ride height. You can even set it to go to ride height on start-up.

It has a digital controller that amazed me, I didnt think it would work good, I was a little hesitant to order because I've always used a manual switch box. But this controller also allows manual control too.

You mentioned Quad valves, you would actually need 8 for independant wheel pressure. This is because you use one valve to let air into the bag, and one valve to let air out. So thats two valves per wheel.

With the EasyStreet kit, it comes with two valve blocks with 4 valves each that are fully wired and plug-and-play.

Here are my Wheel Specs:
- 24x10 TIS #08's with a +15 offset
- 275/25R24 WanLi Tires

EasyStreet Air Specs:
- Auto Pilot Digital Controller
- 2 Front 9-way Dampening Air Strut Bags
- 2 Rear 1B6 Air Bags
- 2 Valve Manifold Blocks (4 Valves Each / 8 Total)
- Viair 380C Chrome Compressor (I upgraded to two Viair 480C's)
- 5 Gallon D.O.T. Approved Air Tank with 8 1/2" Ports
- Nickel plated D.O.T. push to connect fittings
- Built in 145-175 PSI Pressure Switch

The reason for the FatMat is for my sound system. I have two 12" Kicker L7s and the FatMat helps deaden the rattling. Don't let anyone confuse you by saying that FatMat or any other sound deadener blocks out sound. Even though the pumps are somewhat loud when they are running, the sound deadener wont help quite that down.

All it does is prevents metal from resonating (rattling) from sound vibrations. Having the pumps under the floorboard does help with quieting them down a bit, I plan on adding some sort of insulation that will actually absorb the noise, maybe some sort of foam or something.

Are you looking into air? If so hit me up in PM, I could offer a few tips! Thanks man!

The compressors are only loud because of the transfer of the vibration. Adding a board with fatmat and carpet will quiet them down considerably.

Seems like a 3/8" thick coat of bed liner might be the trick too.
