Description
AirRide Gold is a bolt-on air suspension system that allows you to drop your Ford as low as possible.
It also provides you with the right amount of lift to ensure your car remains practical and undamaged – it’s the ideal way to make your car both stylish and effective.
This means your Ford’s handling and ride quality will be remain decent, while you are also able to adjust the ride height at will and while driving, so you can avoid any obstacles on the road as they come. Most systems will offer a ride range of around five inches but this will vary slightly depending on the kit.
The kits are also incredibly simple to fit, so any local garage should be able to install the system for you, or you may even be able to fit it yourself! It is 100% bolt-on, so no fabrication is needed to attach it to your Ford.
You can also choose to include an air control (otherwise known as air management) system of your choosing. This can be a Manual Paddle Control kit, which includes four buttons similar to an electric window switch; each button controls the amount of air over each wheel.
Alternatively, you can choose to have a digital computer system. This is a small block with a single line attached for a wired controller (but you could use a phone app instead), and so doesn’t take up much space. This allows you to have total control of your air suspension system at all times, setting the ride height as you go.
Last but not least, each AirRide Gold kit, with air management, also includes a Viair 444C compressor or equivalent. The compressor is integral to the smooth running of your air suspension and the 444C allows you to run your system as much as you want at high pressures. It is compact too, so is easily stored on any Ford.
Here’s exactly what you get in your kit:
- Two front Ford performance air struts
- Two rear Ford performance bags and brackets
- Shock absorbers (with most kits)
- Necessary bolts and fittings to install the system
You can also add an air control system if you wish. To get the most from an AirRide Gold kit a control system is recommended.

Options
Car kits can be supplied with or without air control (otherwise known as air management or On-Board Air (OBA). This allows you to get the very best out of your kit at all times.
