Description
AirRide kits are bolt-on air suspension systems that allow you to control the height and ride quality of your Ford Kuga (2012+).
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.
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 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 kit from AirRide, 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 Kuga.
Here’s exactly what you get in your kit:
- Two front Ford Kuga performance air struts
- Four air bags, one for each corner (built into struts/brackets)
- Necessary brackets, bolts and fittings to install the system
If your system needs are not met or if you have questions, please don’t hesitate to email or call us on 0800 772 0315.
Options
Air Lift Performance kits can be supplied with or without air management (otherwise known as On-Board Air (OBA)).
Air management allows you to get the very best from your kit at all times. It allows the ride height to be adjusted for road, weather and load conditions, and for those who experience grounding issues it allows the absolute maximum lift to be achieved when needed (i.e. for ferries, petrol stations and rough site entrances). If in doubt, please contact us via email or phone.
No compressor, no tank
You can have an Air Lift Performance kit with no air management system but this is not recommended. With this option you will receive the air bags, brackets and struts required for a basic air suspension system, but no compressor or tank, as without some form of control system the compressor and tank would not be able to function correctly.
Manual Paddle Control (MPC)
MPC comes with an aluminium, 100% duty cycle compressor with up to 200 PSI and an air tank. It is controlled with four buttons, one for each air bag. The buttons act like electric window switches, meaning you can either raise or lower the amount of pressure in each air bag by pressing up and down on each switch.
Digital computer system
The computer system comes with an aluminium 100% duty cycle compressor with up to 200 PSI and an air tank. It electronically controls the amount of pressure in each air bag. This can be controlled either with a wired controller or a phone app. With the computer, you can adjust your car to certain pre-set heights and alter the vehicle’s height while on the move. This is also the easiest system to install; it is the most highly-recommended option.
Other options
