AirLift - just bought

[merc123]

I just bought AirLift and wanted to make sure I had everything covered before installing.

Here is all I have. Will I need anything else?

Stock PP Wheels: Need a 5-6mm wheel spacer for the front to clear collar.

Enlarge front strut tower hole for easier access to camber adjustments

You shouldn't need the wheel spacers. I haven't had any since install and no rub issues.

Thanks. Any complaints about your setup or "wish I had known" type things?

The wheel weights of my stock wheels clashed on the struts on my car, but it doesn't seem to happen to everyone :shrug:
Make sure you check every bolt that AirLift pre-installed for you, particularly the locking collars. It's likely that they'll come loose if you leave them as is.

Not so far although I haven't played around with it much because I had it installed in mid-December. Hope to play around with dampening and such once warm season starts.

Airlift updated the collars on the struts about 6 months ago the new collars are lower profile so if you rub you may have the old collars.

Good deal. I assume since I just bought them it should be new kit.

I just bought mine it was an old kit the dealer had sitting on the shelf so I had to take it back apart to change the collars so I would verify before you install

Are the collars a different shape or color to identify new vs old?

Here are the two collars the new ones don’t are much smaller.

Perfect! Very noticeable differences.
