Do you want to upgrade your air suspension kit, and are looking for “how to”? We have configured a quick series guide at X2 Industries that will help you get the answers you need, clear all your doubts, and help you upgrade your air suspension kit with minimal hassle.
Understanding The Custom Kit:
Are you new to the world of air suspension kits? We’ll quickly highlight what they are to help you understand them and will also give some examples of usage.
Instead of the traditional metal spring, air suspension kits are air-filled bags that replace metal springs or air springs to give your car better and more adaptive support. These airbags can be filled or emptied using compressed air according to your driving preference. This section will cover other caveats encompassing items like ride height, comfort, and the overall upgrade deployed when installing one of these kits.
Key Highlights – Custom Air Suspension Kit Accomplishes?
1. Comfortable ride: X2 Industries’ air suspension kits are designed to provide a smoother, more comfortable ride by allowing your vehicle to absorb bumps and rough terrain.
2. Shifting the size: With X2 Industries’ advanced air suspension technology, you can easily adjust your vehicle’s height at the push of a button, tailoring the stance to your preference.
3. Strength: X2 Industries kits boost your vehicle’s suspension strength, enabling it to carry heavier loads without excessive sagging or strain.
4. Long-lasting: X2 Industries air suspension systems are built to last, helping to protect your vehicle from the wear and tear of rough roads, which can extend the life of your suspension and overall vehicle.
Upgrading your kit step-by-step guide:
1. Check your current system – Before upgrading check what your car already has. Check the suspension parts under the car, if it doesn’t have an air suspension then you’ll need a full kit.
2. Choosing the upgrade parts – when it comes to upgrading the air suspension kit there are different parts that you can upgrade, for example:
A. Airbags – These airbags are like soft cushions that hold your car up and give it more support from beneath. So, choose stronger bags that’ll be able to handle heavy weights.
B. Compressor – A compressor helps to pump air into the bag. Pick a good quality compressor that can fill the airbags faster.
C. Air tank – The air tank stores extra air that helps to adjust the height of your car. So, upgrade to a bigger tank. You’ll be able to adjust the height of your car frequently without worrying about refilling the airbags with the compressor again.
D. Control system – A control system helps you to control the amount of air in each airbag. Some advanced air control systems will let you control your suspension with a smartphone app.
3. Decide your budget:
Upgrading is an investment in comfort, and budgeting should be, based on your needs. First, figure out what specific parts you want to upgrade or if your car needs a complete kit, and then decide your budget.
4. Choose a brand:
While many brands offer upgrade air suspension kit parts, the key to a successful installation is ensuring you find one that meets your specific needs. Each company usually provides a range of air suspension options for a single vehicle, so choosing carefully is imperative.
At X2 Industries, we take the same approach. Our goal is to ensure your vehicle gets the perfect upgrade it deserves, regardless of brand. What truly matters is finding the right fit for your ride.
