The Complete Buyer’s Guide to Air Suspension Kits

Components of a Full Air Ride Kit

A complete air suspension system includes several key parts that work together to raise, lower, and stabilize your vehicle. When shopping for a full kit, make sure you’re looking at these essential components:

  • Air Struts or Bags: Replace your traditional coil springs and provide adjustable ride height.

  • Air Management System: The “brain” of the system, allowing you to control ride height.

  • Compressor(s): Fill your air tank by compressing atmospheric air.

  • Air Tank: Stores compressed air for on-demand height adjustments.

  • Air Lines & Fittings: Deliver air from tank to each corner of your suspension.

  • Controller or Key Fob: Allows you to adjust height from inside the car or remotely.

ONAIR includes all of this — engineered to fit together seamlessly and perform flawlessly.


Choosing the Right Struts

Not all struts are created equal. ONAIR struts are vehicle-specific and built for performance, comfort, and aggressive stance. Here’s what sets ours apart:

  • 32-Point Dampening Adjustment: Customize firmness for comfort or performance.

  • Camber Plates (Where Applicable): Fine-tune wheel alignment and fitment.

  • Heavy-Duty Sleeves and Pistons: Designed to handle daily use and track days.

ONAIR struts deliver smooth, responsive handling without sacrificing ride quality — ideal whether you’re going for fitment or function.


Air Management: 2V vs 4V vs V1

Choosing your management system depends on how much control and simplicity you want:

  • 2V Digital System: Dual-side control with three ride height presets, tank pressure display, and a digital handheld remote. Comes with a wireless key fob instead of a Bluetooth app. Compact, smart, and affordable — a great balance between simplicity and functionality.

  • 4V Digital System: Four-corner independent control, five programmable presets, real-time pressure display, digital remote, and Bluetooth app. The flagship choice.

  • V1 Wireless Fob System: Newest, most affordable option. Mini manifold and wireless remote — ideal for minimalists or simple daily builds.

Each ONAIR system is plug-and-play and comes fully assembled or labeled for easy install.


Compressors & Tank Size: What Matters

Your compressor and tank setup determines how fast you can raise your car and how often your system refills. Here’s how to choose:

  • ONAIR 480 Compressor: A robust 12V compressor that can fill a 5-gallon tank efficiently. Great for dual setups.

  • ONAIR S360 Super Quiet Compressor: Offers silent performance — perfect for daily drivers.

  • Tank Size Options:

    • 1.2 Gallon: Compact, good for one compressor, space-saving.

    • 4–5 Gallon Seamless Tanks: Better air capacity, faster refills, and show-style trunk setups.

Pairing the right compressor and tank size ensures performance without delays.
