This ? is for 1BadGirl and Biohazard but anyone can answer if u have the answer. I put my Easystreet air ride on last weekend and need to to know at what air pressure would i get my best quality of ride at? Is it the higher i go the better? I read on here some where the higher psi gives u better quality ride. How high can u go to?

 

free bump for myself

 

the PSI on an air ride system is similar to the tiffness of a shock absorber and spring setup. higher psi is like having a stiffer suspension cause it is harder to compress. less psi is like a softer suspernsion cause it is easier to compress which will give you more vertical travel in the bags. it all just depends on what kind of ride you enjoy, and the weight of your car, what the roads are like where you drive the most, s tuff like that. you just kinda have to trouble shoot

 

I'm pretty sure it opposite in an air ride system. So the higher the pressure the higher the ride hight and the better the ride.

 

EX has it right...the higher the psi the stiffer the ride.

 

you should be about 100ish in the front, and 80ish in the rear. On the easystreet stuff u can also mess with the blk dail to change dampen. The lower you go may ride alil better, but u have to watch on componets rubbing. If those settings dont work for you go for about 3inches above where it is aired out at, and start from there. You should have the system half way between aired up, and air out. Any other questions feel free. I have installed one or two of them. Good luck, and enjoy.

 

i have easystreet in the front and i put it at 75 psi when i ride...perfect ride quality and u sit a bit lower than stock...but it might depend on the gauges u have...

 

all gauges should read the same, as they are based off pressure, or a sensor style sending unit. There should be no difference there.

 

yea true but my old gauges i beleive i rode at 100psi...i dunno they were junk..but who knos lol...but yea i agree i was jus statin whut i ride at now from what i use to ...

 

i hope you're not serious. think of it this way. here we have an air-matress, you inflate it to it's max, pretty stiff right? hard to compress? CAUSE ITS FULL OF AIR. no take that same matress and fill it with half the air, now it's nice and bouncy and ready for some fun

 

exsoccer common since would say that your rite yes, but for some reason as im findin out now its totaly opposite. When the pressure and ride height are set for city drivin it is a lil stiffer than the ride height and pressure i set for the high way, the highway bein like an inch higher than city, measuring 25" at the middle of each wheel well for city, and 26" at the middle of each wheel well for highway.
Just wondering if its a big deal if the ride height is off by like a 1/8th of an inch for each corner? example give or take an 1/8 at 25"? Opinions?

 

what psi's are you running?

 

well u said being less pressure means better ride, im finding out more pressure is better ride.

 

you mean the matress thing? haha no no i was joking, bouncy..bed..nevermind haha

yes more pressure is a better ride.

 

oh ok lol well that mite come in handy for someone who is wondering the same thing down the road like me. lol
