| How
much travel do the air springs provide?
|
4"
springs provide 8" of travel; 6"
springs provide 10" of travel. As
with coil setups, travel is limited by
the shocks.
|
|
| How
difficult is it to install an AiROCK™
system? |
Average
install time is about 6-8 hours. Additional
suspension and OBA upgrades will require
additional time. The kit requires no special
tools and no welding or modifying the
frame to install.
|
|
| How
do I align my vehicle if the height changes
constantly? |
During
the installation process, you choose a
"ride height" that the computer
will maintain while on road. This allows
you to align the vehicle, and adjust the
control arms, track bars, and pinion angles
properly.
|
As
your vehicle changes height, your suspension,
drive line, and steering angles WILL change.
These changes can only be made in "Off
road" mode, and are negligible when
traveling under 20 mph. When traveling
above 20 mph the ACU ensures that your
"ride height", thus proper geometry
is maintained.
|
|
| Is
there driveline vibration caused by the varying
heights of the vehicle? |
Assuming
your vehicle is equipped with a SYE and
the drive shafts do not normally vibrate
due to angles, you should not experience
driveline vibrations. Remember, since
the system is computer controlled, at
higher speeds you will be locked into
a reasonable "ride height".

|
| What
size tires can I use with the AiROCK™
systems? |
The
4" system is well suited for 32"
to 35" tires. The 6" system
is recommended for 35" and larger
tires, and it can clear 37" tires
without rubbing when the springs are at
their lowest points. Obviously adding
a body lift will allow for even larger
tires.
|
|
| How
well does a vehicle with AiROCK flex? |
A
vehicle with AiROCK flexes very well.
Obviously total wheel travel is determined
by the shock lengths. The Air Springs
actually crawl up and over surfaces more
naturally than coils do. At normal ride
height, without any manual intervention
both AiROCK kits will easily ramp 1000
on an RTI ramp.
|
|
| What
type of air supply do I need? |
|
|
Since
AiROCK does rely on air for day to day
operation, a high quality air source is
very important. Bottled air supplies,
and small electric compressors are not
designed for this application and are
NOT recommended. We recommend either a
large electric compressor or mechanical
compressor along with a quality air management
system. All of these components can be
purchased separately or as kits from our
online store.
