Description
AirRide Gold is a bolt-on air suspension system that allows you to drop your W639 as low as possible.
It also provides you with the right amount of lift to ensure your vehicle remains practical and undamaged – it’s the ideal way to make your van both stylish and effective.
This means your W639 ’s handling and ride quality will be maintained 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 Vito.
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 Vito.
Here’s exactly what you get in your kit:
- Two front W639 performance air struts
- Rear W639 bags and brackets
- 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.
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
Car kits can be supplied with or without air management, although going without isn’t advisable if you have air on all four corners of your vehicle.
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, while also giving you a street-skimming stance when the time is right.
We have four main management options for cars at AirRide. Read on to find out more:
No compressor, no tank
You can have a car 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 is controlled by four buttons, one for each air bag. These 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. The switches will normally fit somewhere on your dashboard.
MPC comes with an aluminium, 100% duty cycle compressor with up to 200 PSI and an air tank, so you can adjust your ride height whenever you wish (as long as it’s safe). It also comes with twin gauges and a tank gauge.
Solenoid control kit
Solenoid kits are controlled in the same way as an MPC kit, with four electric window-style buttons. However, solenoids act much faster than manual controls.
You can get either standard or advanced solenoids from AirRide. Advanced solenoids run much faster than the standard ones and can be installed a lot easier, as the come in blocks of two, rather than one.
Our solenoid kit comes with a 100% duty cycle compressor and tank for instant adjustment, as well as twin gauges and a tank gauge.
Digital computer system
The Air Lift 3P computer system electronically controls the amount of pressure in each air bag. This can be controlled either with a wired controller or a phone app. You can also set up to five pre-set heights, meaning you can slam or raise your car with just a single touch. The computer will also automatically alter your height to allow for road conditions. This is also the easiest system to install, meaning you’ll save money on installation, as compared to the MPC kit or solenoid kits.
The computer system also comes with an aluminium 100% duty cycle compressor with up to 200 PSI and an air tank, allowing for constant adjustment.
Other options
If you would prefer an air management system other to those listed, please feel free to call or e-mail us. We are happy to discuss your personal requirements and make sure you get the management system that is right for you.
