    interesting, I don't see any place for the springs to go and am unfamiliar with air bag technology, do they really not use coil springs?

    I personally think all cars should have this sort of Audi Range Rover technology as suspensions should have a normal city mode, a higher snow mode and a lower highway mode.

    there are no steel springs. elastic function is performed by air bag. Dampers are the same. Most trucks ride on air suspension, the best comfort for people who live their lives on the road.

    My I-talian is non-existant (thank Google Translate), but if rebound and dampening is only with the airbags (as stated above), this is comparable to the SHOW trucks/lowriders. You would be bouncing all over the place. Proper every day driving would require an actual shock built in for dampening and rebound control (like my motorcycle, Arnott Air Shocks) while allowing for ride height adjustments (air bags). It does not mention it in the ad specifically, but if this does have true shocks inside of that tube, you should say so as it'll increase its value. Might be worth confirming w/ the manufacturer...

    Also, this doesn't include a lot of things like lines, regulators, gauges, fuses, filters, etc... not just the pump and tank. Just FYI for anyone thinking this is a weekend novice project.

    For those who do not have Google Translate (Not my translation):

    MY IDEA OF ​​SELLING

    (Read, and you trust!)

    the sale of an object must create value in exchange for which it asks for money.

    if once they purchased the item, this is not a value for you, my idea is that the money should be made on the purchaser.

    this is to say that if you're wrong to purchase the item, or

    have you thought about why you purchased the item that you think would be served, but it did not happen, or

    the object performs the function in a way different from what you had imagined, or

    the object or how it works but not as you imagined, or the item is defective,

    in other words, if the object does not satisfy you and does not create value for you ..


    please let me know! cancel the sale before shipment, or,

    If you have already received the item, we organize an expedition to the return

    and the money paid for the value of the object will be refunded.


    WARNING : The value of the object is something different from the cost of shipping the item.
    shipping charges (return shipping and possible second) are always paid by the person who purchases
    and are not reimbursed under any circumstances. It 'a decision of the purchaser, and therefore the responsibility of
    buyers to go to a place (in this case ... ebay) and decide whether or not the auction. A little
    how to spend the gasoline car to go shopping at a supermarket ...

    If you do not agree with my way of thinking about sales and shipping, do not pretend that you think
    like me (as I do not claim that my policy is the best possible ...). However, if not agreed on my idea
    sales, I only ask you not to purchase the item.

    air suspension kit is from Airbagit manifacturer (airbagit.com) and of course there are true shocks inside bags !!

    This kit is ready to be installed and provided with air lines to be able to set pressure and height at front and rear end, using a normal home compressor. This kit is intentionally without tank and compressor (parts that you can ask airbagit and add if you want) to make it as light and cheap as possible.

    Good clarification. When you responded earlier you mentioned the elastic and damper functions were from the airbag. Saw the updated listing with the new info. Good luck with sale!
