FAQ

Q: Is welding required for this kit? A: Yes. Rear kits require welding

Q: Does the body need to come off to install the air ride? A: To do it right, yes. If you have a pit or lift, it can make it easier but the PRO's recommend to remove the body, it should only take 1-2 hours to make that happen and the ease of installation triples.

Q: Can the heaters still work with the air ride kit installed? A: Simple answer, No. If you are fabrication friendly, you can make it work.

Q: What kind of time would it take to install this on my VW? A: 16 hours or 1 weekend.

Q: Can I use an electronic air management kit with your air ride? A: You can, but we will be unable to tech support any issue as we don't have the ability to recreate any issues or problems with every vendors AMK and their updates.

Q: Is there anything else I will need with this kit? A: No. But check the PRO's recommendations above for specific call-outs.

    4 inch narrowed beam was excellent quality, airride components installed without any problems and was also excellent quality. Front airride works flawlessly. Will update review when I install rear airride. I have found no problems with any Airkweld products. I highly recommend
