So much useful info thank you for this simple and straight to the point
Look nice and like your video bro...I never done this before but I m learning..
There is a new airlift 3p controller update. The calibration is different. Can you guys make a video on it?
We sure can!
@@bagriders could you please give good example to normal psi up and down to understand better? My car is a mustang but I think all car would be in the same range..
Can you do a video on how to properly drain the tank? Would really appreciate it! Keep it up with these helpful videos.
Great suggestion, we sure can! Always feel free to call or email our customer support team to walk you through the steps in the mean time.
I get mine next week starting to get nervous. Hope I didn’t screw up my Lex
Just give us a call if you have any questions!
Hellooo and thank you for your video but do you know if there is a manual in french please ?
We do not have a French specific manual but it most likely can be transcribed through your internet browser.
Can you make a video like this one but for manual air ride kit please.
The manual system just uses paddle valves, it's a simple switch with up for up and down for down!
how do you find out what is the MAX psi you should set for your vehicle? Mine is 2020 supra widebody
To figure out max bag pressures you can check your suspension manual. For max tank pressure it doesn't matter what car you have you can set the PSI from 150-200PSI. If your suspension runs higher pressure a higher tank pressure will help!
How can I disable the automatic lift because sometimes when I’m driving in my normal drive height for example 118 on the rear goes automatically to 125
Try the following! Turn off rise on start, preset maintain, begin a new calibration, and be sure your presets are set correctly.
Is it ok to leave my car Aired out overnight ? Or should I leave it at ride height/stock height ? Thanks !
Yes you can leave your car aired out overnight!
What is the "preset maintain" option? Can you explain please? And what should it be set to.
Preset maintain does exactly what it says! It tries to "maintain" the preset you are at while driving, can be helpful if you have small leaks, or just want to make sure no matter what your preset is maintained.
@@bagriders another question...I have noticed it takes less air to maintain on the right side of the car then the left...ex: 60 54 front and 60-53 rear...but when I set my ride height preset to these numbers, it doesn't air up to them, instead it does over the set amount and ends up evening it out...ex: 60 all around...do u know why this would be?
@@NearMedia got mine fixed 11 months ago lol. Everything sits the same now
@@NearMedia took it back to the installer and he made adjustments. Idk what exactly but now my numbers are even all around.
If I buy the 3p kit now, can I update to the 3h later? and do you have the link for that? thanks
Yes, you can add the additional wiring and height sensors any time, if you feel you.need them.
Just bought rs with airlift kit on it, not familiar with air bags at all. Is it normal for the front left and back right to be dumped after the car is off and been sitting like 20 minutes? The front right and back left are still at the presets when I get in but the front eft and back right have dumped. When I get in and turn it over the bags don't automatically inflate until I hit center button to air up to presets. Thank you
If the car is dumped after 20 minutes it sounds like there might be a leak. Double check your lines to make sure they are not kinked.
You mention vehicles needing specific pressure in the bags when changing the compressor settings. How do you know what pressure a specific car needs?
Great question! Cars running over 80PSI or sleeve bags we recommend running 200PSI in the tank. Feel free to call in at 844-404-7344 and we can help suggest whats right for your car.
Wondering if you could help I have a problem with my 3p manifold where I have everything wired in and the compressor turns on as it should I get 2 flashes on awake on the motherboard but the controller won’t turn on or connect to my phone and there is 12v going to the maifold, any help would be appreciated !!
Would you mind reaching out to our technical support team? You can contact them at sales@bagriders.com or call 844-404-7344.
How do I find out what our limit for our air tank? I have a focus st.
Check out website! We list the max pressure for each tank.
how to set the minimum low high to not be 0, because i already broke my fenders by accidentally hit it to the down button? + Can it be set on the shocks to never go that low again ? .. I just bought a car equipped with same suspension. The Car is Audi A5 Sportback - I like it, but this All-Down button is a problem to me.. The car looks strange on all high - front is a lot higher than back of the car, is there any correction on that?
Yes in the settings menu under 'operation' then minimum drive height/pressure you can make that adjustment.
What is the ecu not found mean? is just Start doing that on my controller and is won't shut off. Please help me
Hey! Please email tech@bagriders.com and one of our support staff can help diagnose with you!
How do you change minimum pressure when the compressor kicks on. Mine kicks on if pressure drops 15psi
You can't change the minimum pressure on the Air Lift 3P but you can change the maximum.
Ok so if I set up my camaro they way I want i mean how low i want it I just leave the button press to save it? Or its ok if I don't save it ? I low my car the other days and I forgot to save the high is a problem or is just fine if I don't save?
It's okay to not save your presets but we highly recommend saving them as its a great feature of the system!
I have black toyota camry 2015. Interested in purchasing this system. Where can I purchase ?. Do they offer payment plan. Thanks
Hey! For a quote on a kit you can either use the vehicle selector on our website, or email sales@bagriders.com!
Hello I have Volkswagen t5 and I don’t what is the right size to put?
We would recommend running 3/8" air line as the vehicle weighs over 4000lbs.
Just installed mine 1 of my rear bags won’t hold psi like the other 3 :( and my controller doesn’t hold the psi I preset is that normal to fluctuate?
It sounds like one of your bags has a leak! Checkout our other video "How to Find and Fix an Air Ride Leak."
How can you set your system up to air up automatically when you start your car?
You want to head into the settings and change the 'rise on start' mode to on. It will the air up every time you turn the ignition on.
when i use my "speedbump" button and press back to rideheight, it goes lower then my rideheight (almost airout the bags) and them fills it back up to rideheight. any way to fix that?
Are you on 3P or 3H?
@@bagriders 3P, but i did calibrate again and seems fine now!
What’s the speed bump button
Do we have to install a watertrap and how often should we drain the tank?
You need a water trap to properly drain your system, you should be draining it every 1-2 weeks depending on how much you use the system!
@@bagriders could you please make a video about draining and regular maintenance to keep the equipment in best shape ? Best practices and not to do things as well..
Many thanks 🥰
@@bagriders is it bad if I drain it more often than normal?
No! The more you drain it, the better.
I was told when you’re aired out, and it’s time to drive the car, you should air up all bags to over 100psi to open up the bags, then lower to ride height. True?
You don't have to do that! The digital systems nowadays will automatically hit your desired preset.
Hello. can the remote control be unlocked while driving?
It can! You will want to turn off the setting called "Stance Guard." Checkout our other video called 'How To Disable "Stance Guard" For Air Lift Performance 3P/3H.'
Show me 2016 air lift on 1 ton GMC
How do you press the button? I double tap it and it doesn’t work sometimes. Do you have to do it slow or what? Just got mine on a few days ago still trying to figure out how to use it properly
Be sure to calibrate the system first! The individual bag buttons are a one press and the preset buttons down the middle take two presses.
@@bagriders it’s calibrated. I have the 3p and the remote I see a little lock on top sometimes I assume the remote is locked and won’t do anything how do I unlock it?
That lock is the stance guard feature. We have a video on our page talking about what exactly that is.
I can’t set my air out preset anymore since the last update. I don’t like it on all 0’s and had my rear psi set on 50 to air out before the update. Is there something different we have to do now to set air out preset?
"air out" is used to go to 0 all around. In settings, you need to select the "preset" option instead of "air out". This will allow you to set your lowest setting which would be your Air'd out setting.
What he said! Use the "all down" button and set it as a preset to 50psi instead of using it as just an air out button
How do you know what psi to run on the top right corner of the remote?
In your tank?
@@bagriders yes!
Like what should give you a reason to increase the PSI? Whats the starting level you should etc
my controller for my 3p recently kept rebooting itself, and then eventually doesnt show anything in the screen. whats the potential fix for this?
If the controller doesn't want to stay on check your power and ground cable. If its not that check your ignition wire and make sure it's getting 12v. If that doesn't solve the rebooting issue feel free to give us a call at 844-404-7344 or email our support team at tech@bagriders.com.
Could be a fuse
Also I set my low height as my preset but on rise on start it still airs up higher then what I set it to
How much higher is it going? We would love to help you solve this issue. Could you send our customer service team a video? You can email it to sales@bagriders.com.
@@bagriders just emailed you guys thank you
when we turn off the car engine, the pressure drops. What should I do ;
Could you send us a video? Our support team can help you figure this out. Please email the video to sales@bagriders.com.
i cant seem to update mine for some reason. it wont connect to bluetooth
Feel free to reach out to our support team. Email sales@bagriders.com or call 844-404-7344
How do i keep it at the setting height? Seems after it sits over a little bit rear sags and front keeps height? Pls help
Try turning on the preset maintain function found in the setting.
@@bagriders thank u ill try that
Hi there just have a question, when I made the preset for my low ride height, everything airs, however my pre set was set to 25, my left airbag just goes all the way down to 0 and then shoots back up to 25, is there any solution to this that I’m not understanding
You can contact our customer support team for help! Call 844-404-7344 or email sales@bagriders.com
Can i use a manual switch controller on 3p?
The only controller that connects to the Air Lift 3P System is the controller it comes with or a wireless device such as a cellphone. You can manually adjust each corner on each device.
I lost my controller. Is it possible to put the car without the controller up ?
You can use the bluetooth function on Air Lift or Accuair systems to raise the car!
How do I callibrate my system when I can’t physically air out all the way, due to my wheels being to wide, installed my air ride and now my stock wheels and my aftermarket wheels don’t fit without spacers, and now they will hit my arches if I air out all the way, ik know I just will have to buy new wheels but I need to be able to drive my car in the meantime.
There are a few options here. Spacers would be a cheap and easy route but the management also allows you to set minimum and maximum pressure during the calibration process. This will help prevent you from airing all the way out but still allowing the system to calibrate to use your presets.
I have a question fellow low riders !
I have 3p system but for some reason when i start the car and open the app , bluetooth gets connected no problem but as soon as i leave the app and go to different app , when i come back to 3p app , i doesn’t get connected anymore until i turn off the car and start it again .
Appreciate any help 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great question! Do you have any other bluetooth devices in the car such as car play? When going to a different app the 3P bluetooth recognizes you are no longer using it disabling it. You can reconnect it again without having to shut the system down by accessing the menu and reenabling bluetooth in the 3P settings. Also be sure to keep you 3P up to date as new software is always being pushed.
@@bagriders
Thanks for writing back to me
I tried to reconnect by enabling bluetooth but didn’t work , even on my phone while it says not connected, i went to setting and tried to reconnect through manifold , sometimes works and sometimes dont !!!
@@daghanam If that didn''t work try giving our customer support team a call at 844-404-7344 or email tech@bagriders.com
@@bagriders awesome
Thanks for your help
what about Anti Cross-Load? what does it do?
The Anti-Cross Loading + Axle Equalization mode allows the system to consider both height and pressure measures together, to achieve the right height at the right pressure.
Is there not a rear up/down like the front?
There is not. You would have to air the rear up and down by using a preset or by each corner manually.
I can't lift while driving, can this be changed?
If you have the Air Lift 3P or 3H, you might also have "Stance Guard" enabled. Check out our other video on how to turn it off so you can adjust your air suspension while driving! czcams.com/video/DmGxxNZjzv8/video.html
how do you know what is recommended
Give us a call or email you can we can help! Our email is sales@bagriders.com and our phone is 844-404-7344.
What about duty cycle?
We'll have a video dedicated to duty cycle, but you can always check the product page for your specific compressor to see what the recommended duty cycle is!
I set my rise on start to on but when I get in car after airing out it doesn’t owek
Have you tried recalibrating your system?
My controller keeps turning on and off, anyone know a solution for this ?
Check the controller connection on the USB cable. Next step would be to make sure your ignition wire is getting a constant 12v.
Yes but for model it’s not available u need buy airmatic suspension in order to fix this
Correct this is controller is designed to be paired with an aftermarket air suspension.
What’s better 3P or 3H??
3P is a pressure based system whereas 3H is a height based system. The 3H is going to take a little more time to install but is going to be more accurate when hitting its presets.
is my air ride supposed to be very bumpy ride?
Air ride suspension systems are designed to provide a smoother and more comfortable ride compared to traditional coil spring suspensions. If you're experiencing a bumpy ride we recommend comparing your ride pressures to the manufacture specifications.
when im not using the car, is it ok to leave it on maximum hight ?
Yes it's best practice to leave it at ride height or all the way aired up!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
American measures in bald Eagles 😂
We measure things, differently
🤣
Does this have air out on off?
Yes you are able to air out with the controller.
@@bagriders I meant air out when you turn the car off
You cannot air out the car when it's off. A properly wired system turns on when the car turns on and turns off when the car turns off. You can use the show mode on the system to deactivate the compressors while leaving the key in the ignition.
Wait so how do y’all air out I’m confused ?
To air out you want to use the middle bottom button.
@@bagriders but I thought that was your low ride height ?
@@Kaise._ You have 5 customizable presets with the 3P/H controller. Starting from the top we most commonly see users set them to momentarily all up, high drive height preset, normal drive height preset, low drive height preset, and the very bottom button all down/air out button.
Calibration would have been a good one not to skip over… 😔
We can make a new video!
@@bagridershaveyall made a video yet?
@@pikapika1449 Not a calibration specific video :(
@@bagriderswhat about that calibration video
@@steezy_specs1989 No calibration video has been made yet.
Anyone know why I get the loud clunk sound almost feels like I'm riding on plates when I hit bumps when I'm anything below 120psi up front. I bought it with it already bagged all the bags under the good and it rides great when I'm riding skyjacker status it looks good aired out but I can't ride around anywhere close to what I want to be riding around and what I should be writing at does it have anything to do with the dampening system because I think the guy that installed himself I don't think anybody was doing. It's just a loud clunk and feel that I get on every bump more so in the front and it's not anything to do with the factory stuff it's definitely the bags but basically when I'm under 120 or closer to 1:15 it's almost as if there's no air in the bags whatsoever but there is for sure. And this is for a Infinity Q50 2017
Great question! Could you contact our customer service team at sales@bagriders.com or call 844-404-7344. It sounds like your strut is bottoming out or maxing out. We would be more than happy to recommend some pressures to help prevent this.
I had the same issue, spin the damper knob off and then put an Allen in the whole and use a wrench to tighten the bolt on top of the strut
