NEW! Tesla AirRide Kit

Green Tesla at Essen Motor Show

We have added some very special kits for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y to our shop. These vehicles do not have the smoothest suspension on earth and benefit from the softest of air. These kits from our friends at UAS in California are well developed using OEM style components for  the best ride possible. As always with UAS they also have incredible lift and drop, and this is the kit we would use on our own car. One of the reasons that these models need air suspension is the weight of the vehicles with the battery packs which is about the same as many SUV's. The kit can be seen HERE.

The kits are easy to install being essentially a bolt on conversion, and can therefore be installed by any competent local garage or custom specialist, or of course we are happy to install at out Norwich premises. If you need more info please make contact via email or phone.

We hope to return to normal shortly but this week is expected to be bad weather and we are located in a rural area without gritting and ploughing which has experienced 9 inches of snow and severe drifting due to high winds. Some areas are 3ft deep. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Classic Mini kit v3

Its now over 18 months since we sketched out the new Classic Mini v3 kit. The old kit has been very popular but it needed some cutting of the car and tank to fit properly. With the price of Mini's going higher and higher people are less willing to cut their cars and we created some new parts for a film which we figures would make the Mini conversion simpler to fit. We didn't realise it would take so much work but we are just finishing the final development and will launch the kit shortly. There is already a waiting list for the new kits so the first batch is likely already sold. More details will be added soon, and if you want to be added to a list to be contacted when its launched please email, or keep an eye out on the site.

The new kit is entirely bolt on. There are a couple of extra holes to drill but it is fully reversible. Various management options as usual. More information when we have it.

NEW Uprated Kits for AL-KO Chassis

AL-KO Suspension kit

We have worked hard over the winter to launch a new range of super heavy duty load support kits for AL-KO chassis based vans and motorhomes. These kits are the heaviest on the market and considerably beyond anything currently available in terms of ease of fit and strength. Because we manufacture these kits ourselves we have also managed to restructure the pricing so they are also cheaper! More information will be on the site soon.

AirRide has managed to create kits which are stronger, easier to fit and higher spec. All our new AL-KO kits use 100% duty cycle solid durable suspension compressors, not light duty or emergency tyre compressors like some suppliers use. Controllers are more durable and tanks much higher capacity and higher specification. Motorhomes and box vans are heavily laden and for that you need the toughest kit on the market - you need the new AirRide load support kit for the AL-KO chassis. Motorhomes in particular are almost at the weight limit for their entire lives and therefore the support offered by these kits are welcome.

We have been supplying kits for AL-KO based motorhomes for around ten years. During that time the main concerns expressed by customers are damage to the rear of the vehicle due to grounding when going on and off ferries, and an uncomfortable ride. Our kit is designed to overcome both. For more information please do call or email.

We are Still open for Mail Order

Although stocks of some products is running low we are still open, able to take orders and able to ship items. We are also manufacturing. Some telephone work is done off site so please allow longer for call responses and ideally send an email. Customers may notice that deliveries are a little slower than usual but all our couriers are still collecting and delivering.

Current Government advice is that we are permitted (and encouraged) to work although it looks likely that this will change in the very near future. We are taking all necessary steps to protect our staff and members of the public. Therefore Installations are currently suspended, and all our premises are closed to customers visiting. We will advise when this changes.

Free Fitting February

Over the past few months we have been working very hard here at AirRide to get our new Norwich workshop ready. Located in the city centre for the first time we have our sales office, development workshop, manufacturing and customer installation centre in the same place. This should enable us to offer a more efficient service, install more kits, and develop more kits.

So we thought how could we share our achievement with customers and we thought - free fitting. Air Suspension is not generally difficult to install but it is something that worries some customers. The offer is limited to bolt on car kits mostly. We will still be offering our usual bespoke service - it just wont be free.

There are some minor terms so please check out the dedicated page at:- FFF

Introducing AirRide Ultimate Kits

We're sure you're all aware of our Ultimate kit for T5s and T6s by now (and if not, where have you been? Fill your boots here.) But what you won't know, until right now at least, is that we've now got an Ultimate kit for the Mercedes Vito as well!

So what is an Ultimate kit?

Well, at AirRide we don't believe that air suspension should just be used for dropping your ride really low (but don't worry, we have loooooads of kits that do just that). We also believe that air is perfect for providing lots of extra comfort, and can even make your van or motorhome more comfy than it was when it first left the factory.

That's where AirRide Ultimate comes in - a new range of kits designed to give you as much comfort as humanely possible.

We've achieved this by using huge, reversible-sleeve bags to give you a massive 7 - 8 inches of adjustment and loads of cushioning. Ultimate bags have almost twice the volume of any other air bag that AirRide supply - which makes them ideal for heavy-duty motorhomes, campervans and wheelchair access vehicles where that extra comfort is really felt.

Please call us on 0800 7720315 or e-mail us at enquiries@airride.uk to find out more about our Ultimate kits, or to order one for your van or motorhome (in particualr your Transporter or Vito). If we don't yet do an Ultimate kit for your vehicle then please get in touch anyway as one may be in the pipeline!

And don't forget to follow us on Instagram to stay up to date with all things AirRide.

Instagram for Cars

AirRide is now on Instagram. We have been so busy designing, manufacturing, supplying and installing air suspension over the past couple of decades that we didn't even spot Instagram as the perfect place to share all the happenings at AirRide! To make sure you only see the content you're interested in, we have created two pages - an Instagram for cars and an Instagram for vans, motorhomes and pickups.

At the bottom of this page you will see a selection of the other social media we use, which are also separated between cars and larger vehicles.

AirRide Gold for C Class

Easy-to-fit air suspension

Our AirRide Gold kits are known and developed to be easy to fit.

A great example of this is the bolt-on conversion for the Mercedes C Class, where the development and engineering of the product are both geared toward making life easy for the installer. The rear is fitted with just one bolt at the bottom, which is more than the C Class's original springs.

To see our full range of more than 600 AirRide Gold kits, click here.

New kit for the VW Amarok

AirRide are now selling a Dunlop load-support kit for the beautiful VW Amarok pick-up truck.

Made from the usual high-quality, thick steel, which is then electroplated for long-term durability, this kit is perfect for the Amarok and should last for many years.

The kit also comes with triple-convoluted bags, which provide excellent support, and as always the kit is available with the full range of Dunlop and AirRide inflation systems.

View the kit HERE.
