Im gonna take a stab at making my own set of airbag struts for my car. If the first one comes out good il go ahead and make 3 more and get to more serious thinking for an air management system, air tank, compressor, fittings, valves ect..(although i already have it somewhat firgured out, but by that time who knows what will change)
So my plan is pretty much hack up some old struts to look a little something like this..
I know this can be dangerous to do so im most likely going to take them to a shop to have them depressurized.
Then figure out the right size bag like one of these to mount on top..
Air lift bags | Air lift | air lift air bags | Air springs | Air spring
When I get to it I want to do just a front and back system so when I hit one switch, it will raise/drop the front, and a seperate switch for the back. i think it will make it a lot easier dialing a good ride height, and easier to enter steep driveways and get over speed bumps and such.
Questions I have for you guys (especially ones who have worked with air ride suspension)
1. Does this even sound like it would work? hah
2. This is more directed at someone whos had/have bags on their gp. What are the size dimensions on the bags? such as height/width when fully aired and fully depressed. and how much lift and and drop they have? I know I have some messuring to do inside the wheel well, but with the freezing temps here and no heated garage, it would make my life a lot easier so I could start fabbing one up before spring lol
3. Im still trying to think of how the top mount would be mounted. Maybe weld some studs to the bag and bolt it on?
4. Any other concerns or things I might run into.
Any and all input is always appreciated!!
