Unlike traditional suspension systems that replace your stock coils with a set of taller ones, ACCUAIR uses air springs that can be set and adjusted to anything from stock height to 5.5" of lift and all with just a simple touch of a button. Of course, there really is a lot more to this intelligent and versatile air suspension system and in this video, we hope to share some of it with you.

For those that aren't too familiar with accuair, they've existed in the past primarily focused on the air management systems used in the show/stance/hotrodding communities. In 2020 they announced their bankruptcy and Arnott Industries purchased the rights at auction. Arnott is a major producer for OE replacement air suspension components, from bags to compressors and everything else involved. Its honestly the best case scenario for the consumer as the outcome. The JT, JL and even their Bronco systems look very very promising. Gives the best of both worlds in regards to lift and practicality. I'm sure you could fit an even bigger tire than a 37 with no issues, with fender clearance being the only serious limitation. Note: not affiliated, just an engineer that can appreciate how well thought out the whole package is. From a value proposition, its a bargain.

Years ago there was a kit out for the TJ that did just this. It didn’t go anywhere. If you hadn’t mentioned this I wouldn’t have even remembered it. As I mentioned in my note below, if the target price is missed it won’t sell…or only to a very small market.

That was my first thought! Even just removing a degree or 2 of roll can really help the seat of the pants feel. This could also help with pitch, but thats much less of a concern considering how much longer wheelbase's are vs track width.

I was bummed because I noticed they never showed it lowering/raising while they were talking. Every time I'd be waiting to see and they'd zoom in on his fingers on the app or something that nobody cares about. They'd quickly cut to a close-up where it was probably sped up. All I wanted to see was what it looked like as it adjusted in real time - unfortunately never happened.

The factory one I had on my Ram was great for lowering so my dad who I was shuttling to medical appoints could easily get in and out. He would not have been able to do that if it was at factory or lifted height. He can't get in my lifted Jeep and I would love to be able to take him Jeeping.

He said 3.5” lift on a wrangler only allows for 35’s with this kit, I get him being a manufacturer and saying that, I would imagine 37’s on a rubicon with this kit would be easy peasy. If not, it will lose major market share as let’s be honest, 37’s are the minimum these days. Stoked to see future videos!
@wayalife

Correct, you can easily run 37's on a JL especially with a Rubicon but their kit has its FMVSS 126 compliant handling certification based on 35's. That's the only reason they state that.

Cool product and I hope the company does well but not for me- ever. After wheeling an LR4 with air sus I will never have air sus on an offroad rig again. My LR4 was actually extremely reliable throughout its life, but the one thing that gave me a nagging feeling when I was wheeling was the air sus. The LR4 system would drop to bump stops if there was a system fault, and of course if it loses air. With oversized tires you are jammed in your own wheel wells and stranded. It did it once to me, although luckily only 2 miles from home on roads and was able to crawl home. But had I needed articulation- I would have been stranded. There are also so many more failure points- the compressor, the lines, the bags, the computer, and they’re not fixable on a trail unless you go carrying around another entire system. Also usually air bags lose articulation as they fill. So you have your choice of either height or articulation, but usually not both. You need to get this on an RTI ramp and compare it at each setting height to a non air sus Jeep of same height lift. Yes they have benefits, being able to raise and lower is nice for loading and unloading, fitting into parking decks, maybe getting you off a high center (I never used it for this once), but to me the negatives outweigh the positives for anything but a pavement princess. The old schoolness of the Jeep Gladiator is exactly why I’m in it. Look forward to the upcoming vids. But take a buddy with you.

With factory shafts that are running rzeppa joints, pinion angle is not critical. That said, you would still set pinion for ride height as that's what the system defaults to when driving over 25 mph.

@patrickjamesmcb

Definitely a cool idea... I can see many benefits for sure. My biggest question is... how much flex? More than stock? Less than stock? Typically bags are pretty limited in stroke. Proprietary bags need to be replaced every several years due to dry rot, so better hope the company is around and still making replacements down the road.

I think you'll be surprised at how much flex you can get out of this kit. Please subscribe and we'll be sure to show you what it can do out on the rocks soon. As far as the bags go, ACCUAIR is telling me they should last at least 100k miles and if any fail before then, they will replace them free of charge. Last but not least, Arnott is now the owner of the company and you can be sure they will be around for a long time to come.

RIght on. I'd like to have that sway bar on a windy Wyoming highway day. There's definitely a time for stiff. When extreme crawling, wonder if they've got limit straps to avoid overextending the bags. That negative stretch is a lot of wear and tear and not really what they are designed for. In brush, I'd also think that ripping out airlines is a constant risk. Also thinking about the skid compressor mounting - how will that work with aftermarket belly pans and other aftermarket armor? Probably a fail or cutting/welding. Anyhoo ... does not seem like a robust offroad solution. Great for weekend warrirors with trailers or that haul lots of stuff -- which I guess is 99% of Gladiator owners anyway. Wonder if this thing fits standard aftermarket inner fenders? Not a hater - I think this is so cool. Just thinking ahead for a few things.

Thanks for the video. Do you know if it would work with other after market shocks (provided the shock travel is compatible)? It would be nice to maintain the compression/rebound dampening adjustability some fancier shocks provide along with remote reservoirs. The shocks that come with the kit do not seem to be adjustable (?) .
@wayalife
@wayalife Год назад
So long as you're running shocks made for a JL or JT if that's what you have and they are the correct length (extended and collapsed), there should be no reason why you couldn't run them with the air pistons that come with this kit.

I am currently running the original kit that was introduced at sema last year on my 2021 jl. I got to admit that the concept of this setup is really nice, however, I’ve had a lot of problems out of my ride height sensors not wanting to stay in range. Accu air tech support is pretty much non existent. Now with that being said, after 7 months of taking the Jeep back to the installer multiple times, accu air is going to send me the new control arms from the new kit that was just displayed in the video. Fingers crossed that those will fix my problem. Other than the ride height sensors giving me trouble, i have to say that i am overall impressed with this set up and the ride it provides.
@wayalife
@wayalife Год назад
It should be noted that ACCUAIR had actually gone out of business and had since been acquired by a new company called Arnott. I was told that they are replacing ALL of the original kits with their new one. If you have any other issues, I would recommend that you contact them directly.

@wayalife
@wayalife Год назад
For sure, you will see axle shift at different heights but from what we've seen, it isn't enough to really notice or matter. Caster really isn't an issue with FAD but the rear pinion will need to be set for standard ride height.

@wayalife
@wayalife Год назад
You would set your drive shaft to whatever standard all around setup you plan on running on a regular basis. When driving at speeds of over 25 mph, that's what the system will default to.

Im sure the air bags will hold up to whatever you throw at them. Ive ran airlift and accuair products on my cars for years. As long as you install everything properly and keep airlines away from pinch points and heat sources youll be fine. one thing to keep in mind, is to keep airline antifreeze in your system during the winter to prevent ie build up Remember semi trucks run air bags.
@wayalife

I think you're right and hope to find out for myself. As far as winter goes, I was told to add air compressor oil to the system. Is there something better you would recommend?

Cool indeed, but the elephant in the room is the $7000 cost. Many, if not the majority of us already have an air system, which would make mine a +$900 paperweight. Unless the pricing was cut in half and there was a retrofit for a dual ARB, it is a novelty I’ll do without. Additionally, there was no comment, which I’m sure you’ll cover in an upcoming update video, regarding the noise/volume of the interior mounted air compressor. There was a short blip in this video where you could hear it cycle on, but it was from the exterior.

LOL - there's always ebay! But, in all seriousness, it's definitely pricey and out of reach for most people. Where it's really worth considering is for the guy who can afford coilovers or some of the high end long arm kits out there. This system actually costs less than them.
