I have a 98 cavalier with the drift body kit looking at air ride whats the best setup? also can anyone post pics slammed all the way down and pics with it all the way up. i tow my car to shows that are long drives but i have hell putting it on trailer thats why i'm looking at air ride to make easier to get on trailer.
man the drift kit is a low hanger to begin with. As far as max lift it still might not be enuough to clear the trailer well. I knew someone that had machined billet spacer to raise up the body from teh strut mounts. A body lift if you will.
best bet is a low loading trailer with ramps to your ramps. air is nice but honestly its for going lower not realy higher. most systems raise to a 1-2" factory drop. meaning if your car wont clear with a 1-2" drop it wont clear with a air ride setup.
I have a show car right now and i also have air ride. air ride is going to give you a 4-5 inches of movement. You can put metal spacers between your struts and the car to raise the car over all and i would recommend this. I am going to make metal spacers this winter for my car because i am getting sick of being too low at times. If i don't make the spacers i may just sell it all and go with coil-overs.
here is an imagine not all the way down but 50% down. you just can`t beat that look.

your right, that why i am making spacers or i am selling my air ride.
just get more ramps, unless you like adjusting your coilovers when you want on the trailer :/
Thanks guys for the advice i'm running coilovers now but it sucks to raise the car up every time to get on trailer and it still barely clears i also been looking into race ramps that u can add to the factory trailer ramps to make a longer slope. I might still do air ride for looks tho who has the best kit out. and if anyone is sellin there setup.
i think air lift is the only game in town anymore.
Airbagit.com has a kit that looks very nice but as far as I know no one has any experience with it.
i though they were discontinued? Also they arent as low as air lift is, at least the old air lift anyway.
Thanks i will check out the airbagit and airlift does easystreet still make there kit or is it the same as air lift.
airlift and easystreet are the same company
