Easystreet Air Suspension

[Bagged Mag]

Searched the forums and couldnt find anything about this system.

I've been reading around on the forum and everyone on here that has expierience or knowledge about pneumatics recomends UAS. Im looking into the Easystreet setup which inclues (in my opinion) more than the UAS kit.

This complete kit will cost me just over $2000 (website listed at $2645) which includes a digital brain that dispays bag pressure, tank pressure, and battery voltage. The struts also have a 9-way dampening system, and auto rise on start with about 6" of travel.

Looking at the UAS site, the kit has everything I would need, but to get digital guages and the auto rise with the kit would cost $2700 (according to website) and I would have to replace all 4 struts/shocks instead of just the rear to an adjustable dampening type. But, the UAS has a better load leveling system based on ride height instead of bag pressure like the Easystreet.

Any input on either of these two systems will be greatly appreciated.

And remember, I don't have the Magnum yet. Just doin all my research ahead of time so I can make the best possible decision when it comes to the suspension.

I think you get 2 comps with the UAS as well as a stainless tank.


Probably the only thing you have to worry about with those bags is the crimped bands on the bags. They are notorious for failing... and when they fail it is EPIC.

Thanks for your input.

Thats right, UAS does have two compressors. Forgot to mention that...

Are you talking about the Easystreet bands or bands in general? Because the UAS bags have bands also...

???

And are they failing because of overinflation? The Easystreet bags have a max rating of 150 psi...brings up another question, whats the max for UAS?

...you said notorious...

[GROUNDED]

UAS bags run around 200 psi for their rating. for me its over 150 before I get to stock ride height.


As far as the bands go I have had no problems with UAS crimped bags nor have I heard of any.


read this forum topic about the air lift bags...

Cant see the pics at work, damn military firewalls...

good read. got this quote from the other forum, from Phil at FBI (http://www.fbirides.com)

The Air Over Shocks, Strut Bags, and other products AirLift makes haven't had this problem, because they move straight up and down and are limited by the stroke of the shock/strut assembly. I've seen a couple of isolated cases of ring failure, but they were usually due to installation errors or running too much pressure.

-Phil at FBI (http://www.fbirides.com)

Reading through I also noticed that people running over 200psi are the ones blowing the Air Lift bags.

i have the easystreet kit on my mag. i did add another comp to it. airlift has been in business for 50 years, nuff said!!

[Bagged Mag]

I sent an email to Easystreet asking them about this and a few other things I wanted cleared up. When I get a response from them, I'll post up.

[flossin22s]

i think with UAS u get a bit lower then the easy street

Thanks for the input Mike, what are your fully inflated/deflated heights?

You too Flossin, know what the up/down heights are?

Im also thinking about getting bags. I bagged my last car and the bands never caused any problems for me. I bought an extra bag just in case and never had to use it. I rarely went over 170 though.

I'm not familiar with UAS or Easystreet but most of the people on the forums have UAS. I do know that UAS is more expensive.

I'd also like to find out more so post up after you get more details.

[D's300C]

Honestly, most companies use the same parts, except for bags. Every kit I looked into before getting my bags used VIAIR compressors. They may vary a bit on the valves or manifolds, but I havent really seen any issues with those. Right now UAS has the best BAGS for the LX's because they were designed FOR the LX's. I got sponsored by Slam Specialties, and I got UAS bags for the front because UAS has the best bags for the front. I am also running UAS bags in the rear. Love them.

Will do.

I wouldn't say they were designed for the LX, I think they are an application that works with the LX. Any car with a McPherson strut up front can use these bags. If you look at their application list (http://www.universalairsuspension.com/_images/support/2006%20Aero%20Sport%20Application%20Guide.pdf), all the vehicles use the same bags up front (02-ST-SB-14) except for a few. And theres nothing wrong with that, but I like the fact that the Easystreet front comes with the adjustable strut, instead of using the stock ones up front.

The manifolds, tank, fittings, compressors, are pretty much all the same as you stated before, but the UAS comes with one-way valves where the Easystreet has two-way manifolds, which I'm not a fan of, but I still have my one-ways from my last setup that are still in great condition. I guess the main thing I like about the Easystreet is the digital control. I already have a 10 switch box so I don't need another one, and I can tap my switchbox into the system to run along with the digital so I can show off when I want to.

It's a tough decision. In the end, I feel like its going to come down to how much I can get for the money...more compressor, more inflate/deflate, digital vs manual, valves vs manifold, etc etc.

Anything anyone else may have that might make my decision easier please chime in.

Earlier I mentioned I was going to shoot Easystreet an email. They seem willing to answer any questions. Here are the results.

I was wondering if you could enlighten me a little. Looking into purchasing the Magnum Digital Combo, PN 95752, and I came across some information that says your bands around the bags pop off. One of the forums is linked below: http://www.streetsourcemag.com/forum/topic.aspx?whichpage=1&pagesize=50015&forum_id=16&topic_id=79588

Has there been a big problem with sealing rings popping off for the kit in question?

Even though the bag is rated at 150psi, can they safely handle 175psi since this is the rating of the pressure switch for the tank?

Can the port for the front suspension be enlarged from 1/4" to 3/8" without degrading the integrity of the system?

What is your warranty policy if a bag does pop or become "deringged"?

If the bag fails because a ring pops off, but there is still signs of rubbing, is it still under warranty?

Is accessconnect.com an authorized dealer?

Do you do price matching?

Do you have a military discount?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my questions.

First off, thank you for your service for our country! We have had a problem in the past with the crimp rings coming apart, but it only happened when the shocks were removed from the vehicle which allowed the bag to over extend and damage the ring. I have never seen this happen with the Magnum kit, but in any case that it would happen the bag would be covered under warranty.

I would not fill the bags past 150 psi, if the bags are ran at a pressure higher than that it will void any and all warranties.

The port size cannot be enlarged because there is not enough room to make the hole any bigger.

Yes, accessconnect.com is an authorized dealer, we do not price match because I cannot undercut my dealers. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.

I think you really need to see more then 150 in the bags on the car. Sometimes you just need that extra lift.

This kit will go above the stock ride height by 1 inch with less than 150psi, I can't see why you would need to go any higher than that!

GOOD INFO on this thread.

So if I understand this correctly the kit costs $1159.98 but it does NOT include the Front or Rear bags which are $543.90 and $311.90 respectively- Correct??


OHHH BTW Notorious170- Semper Fi!!!

Yeah thats right. The manufacturer website actually has the full kit, bags and air management.

Manufacturers site:

For the full kit (air management, bags, tanks, lines, valves, etc) its $2645

For the front kit is $755

The rear kit is $436

The digital air management system with tank, fittings, lines, etc. is $1502

www.accessconnect.com (http://www.accessconnect.com) doesn't have the full kit listed, but if I decide to go with them, I will call them up and talk to them before placing my order. I really want that digital system which is why I am so interested in this system. The UAS cost an extra $600 for the digital controler with the full kit. I guess price is my major factor, but I don't want to sacrifice quality either. Decisions, decisions...

and Oohrah to you too. How long you been in?

[Texas Tran]

Any updates?

[Bagged Mag]

i think im just gonna go with this kit. it has the adjustable shocks in the front, its complete bolt on (the UAS requires modification to the front strut. correct me if im wrong), has the digital controler, and its just over $2K.

of course, i have to get the car first!

[MikeE]

whats really kool is if you have the mopar remote start, just start if up before you get to the mag and it rise to your preset ride height.

[Bagged Mag]

i plan on getting an 18 channel alarm with the remote start, door poppers, window roll up/down, rear hatch release, etc. and plan on connecting the system to the alarm to fully raise when disarmed, lower when armed, and adjust to ride height when started.

of course money is always a factor so these are future mods.

and of course, i have to get the car first!

[srt888]

does anyone know if the Easystreet system will work on a SRT8? I know that I need to replace the rear self-leveling shocks, buit other than that will their front srtut assembly clear the SRT brakes?

[kevinl1058]

I've been running the easystreet set up for over 25,000 miles on my magnum with no problems at all.. Great product. This is the third car that I've bagged using there products. For the air management systems I always have run air ride technologies stuff.
