VW Caddy Mk1 installs

We are always receiving inquiries from clients wanting the cult car that is the VW Caddy converted to air. For some time we have wanted to develop a kit. To help the VW community get on air we would be happy to heavily subsidise an install on a road legal road going Caddy.

The deal is that we will basically subsidize the development aspect of the conversion leaving the client to pay for the kit and basic installation. This represents a discount of around £2500-£3000.

Please contact Phil on the numbers below for more information.

After a lot of research and development we have been able to design a front end kit for the 1996-2006 shape sprinter which provides air assistance to the original suspension.

The is particularly useful on A class motor home conversions, and massively improves stability on heavily laden vans, minibuses and motorhomes. Prices and pictures to be added shortly to the relevant Mercedes Van page available from the left hand menu.

SsangYong Rexton and Mercedes ML kit

We have just developed a kit for the SsangYong Rexton and Mercedes ML rear end. This kit allows for towing and heavy loading without running on the bumpstops. As always the kit can be fitted using schrader valves or with a more sophisticated controller to allow control from the dashboard (or boot). The kit is easily fitted by a mechanic and includes everything needed to convert the rear end, including upper and lower brackets, bags, valves and line. No drilling or cutting is required and the conversion is fully reversible if you trade or sell your vehicle.

W639 Vito Air Suspension Kit

We are pleased to anounce the launch of our new W639 rwd (2003 onwards – 2nd Generation ) Mercedes Vito rear end suspension kit. This lifts over 6 inches from its lowest position, and is ideal for wheel chair access vehicles, motor home conversions, traditional vans and minibus conversions. The kit comes fully powder coated, with instructions and is fully reversible if required (if you upgrade your vehicle). The kit fixes to the vehicle using 3 bolts on each side and takes only a few hours to install.

It has a superb ride and a huge lift capacity. The kit is ideal if you need to alter the ride height of the vehicle such as in wheelchair access or motorcycle loading, or if you need to alter the ride characteristics for amore comfortable ride, or to account for additional passengers or load. The kit is also great for motorhome conversions which add additional weight as it can return the vehicle to original height or for towing and general load support.

Kits start from £660 for the rear end bag and bracket kit, and can be fitted with or without onbaord air supply. All installs are conducted to meet clients specific requirements.

During May we are offering half price fitting on this kit (only £120). Please phone or email to make a booking. Kit page and pictures coming soon, by clicking here.

Bespoke Air Installs

Each air installation is tailored to your own specific requirements. If we don’t have an on the shelf kit for your vehicle then we will make one. Using our in house CNC equipment we can usually make rear end kits for many Motor Homes and Vans on a while you wait basis, although this often takes all day.

As well as manufacturing many of our own kits, we can also fit any kit you may already have, and also fit kits from Dunlop and Firestone. We have probably the largest range of experience in air suspension installs of anyone in the country having installed air to a huge range of vehicles over the years, and are in the process of relocating our installation centre to a larger facility. We have a huge range of controllers ranging from fully computerised “dancing car” controllers down to the most basic Motorhome controller.

At AirRide we are also able to supply kits for almost any motorcycle, car, truck, van, and motorhome. Please ask about whats available for your particular vehicle.

Please phone for your particular requirements.

Air rides really well, can offer additional support where needed, can handle really well, and offers the desirable ability to lift or drop the vehicle at the touch of a button.

If you are interested in having air fitted to your vehicle then please contact us to discuss your requirements as our diary for the year is filling up fast once again. Contact by email is ideal but if you need to speak to us then we have listed 3 phone numbers including a mobile to ensure that you can always get in contact as we move between 3 premises.

I-car with airride suspension on TV

The I-Car is the Humberside Fire and Rescue Services project designed to educate drivers as to the horrors of road crashes by giving a small experience of one, is a miniature simulation of a road crash.

The project is the brain child of Steve Harrison of Humberside Fire and Rescue. We have been heavily involved in the air suspension aspect of the project, and have designed and developed many new parts for this extreme conversion, which has been featured on both BBC and ITV news.

I hope to bring pictures shortly but in the meantime the car can be viewed at the following links, although they may expire over time.

If you see the video on a computer, it does not look that special, but feel it in the car – the actual car from the video, and it takes on a whole new meaning, and with suspension movements in time with the video, smoke and blue lights, its an emotional experience!
