The Bag Riders Manual Air Management is one of the most reliable air management options for your car due to its simple design and lack of electrical or digital components. The heart and namesake of the system are the Manual Paddle Valves which function as both the controller and valve block (manifold). Each paddle provides two-way control of a single air spring: press up on the paddle to inflate and press down to deflate, simple as that! The Manual Air Management is the perfect solution for any budget air ride build, or for the newcomer who doesn’t want to break the bank on their first setup.

The 3P from Air Lift Performance is a pressure based management that features 5 user-programmable pressure presets and individual, four corner, air spring control. The 3P’s wired digital controller displays all four bag pressures as well as the tank pressure. The controller uses a full color, backlit screen and features a rotatable keypad that allows for horizontal controller mounting.
Air Lift’s mobile app allows the vehicle to be put into a ‘show mode’ which enables you to remotely control the air suspension using your Bluetooth enabled smart phone (iPhone/Android) from a distance once the vehicle has been turned off. No additional hardware is required to use this feature, it is built into every 3P and 3H system! Future system updates can be applied through the app as well.
If you're looking for a system that takes both pressure and height into consideration, you should look into purchasing the Air Lift Performance 3H Air Management Package. If you'd rather get the 3P to start, you can always upgrade to the 3H at a later date by purchasing Air Lift's 3P to 3H Upgrade Kit.
Features:
- (5) User-definable pressure presets (can be upgraded to height)
- Manual mode for individual air spring control
- Digital controller with color screen
- Rotatable keypad that allows for horizontal mounting
- Mobile app (no additional hardware required)
- System updates through mobile app

The 3H from Air Lift Performance is both a height and pressure based management that features 5 preset heights and individual four corner air spring control. The height based sensors give the system the ability to automatically and accurately re-level when loads change (e.g., adding a passenger or traveling with luggage).
Installing height sensors is often a daunting task for the weekend mechanic, but worry not because Air Lift has designed the 3H so that it can operate in "pressure-only mode" in the event that you don't have time to get the sensors installed right away.. Or you just can't wait to test out your new suspension!
The 3H’s wired digital controller displays all four bag pressures as well as the tank pressure. The controller uses a full color, backlit screen and features a rotatable keypad which allows for either vertical or horizontal controller mounting.
Air Lift’s mobile app allows the vehicle to be put into a ‘show mode’ which enables you to remotely control the air suspension using your Bluetooth enabled smart phone (iPhone/Android) from a distance once the vehicle has been turned off. No additional hardware is required to use this feature, it is built into every 3P and 3H system! Future system updates can be applied through the app as well.
Air Lift’s digital management system utilizes a combined ECU and manifold which greatly simplifies the installation process. The included plug-n-play wiring harness will power a single compressor and if you’re planning on running dual compressors, you'll need to pick up the Air Lift 3H / 3P Second Compressor Harness.

Development
StrongArms are developed by RideTech in Jasper, Indiana on an actual running, driving vehicle. This allows them to properly address ALL fitment and performance issues. It also allows them to document an installation, demonstrate the installation to their sales techs and dealers, and allows ongoing evaluation of the performance of the StrongArms.
Design
RideTech’s Strong Arms are designed with as few components as possible. Their 4 axis tubing bender allows precise, repeatable bends that no other machine can achieve. They can create elegant tubing bends that would otherwise require several separate welded components.
Geometry
Geometry of a suspension starts with the position of the frame mounts and the height of the spindle, not the shape of the control arm. However, there are a few small things in control arm design that can make a big difference in how a vehicle drives and performs.- RideTech creates extra caster potential by adjusting the fore and aft position of the ball joints. At the same time they make sure the wheel is properly positioned in the wheel-well so your new 18" wheels fit like they should!
- The balljoint camber travel is re-centered to accommodate the new lowered ride height so the ball joint doesn’t bind during extreme suspension movement.
- The perimeter of the StrongArms is contoured to allow maximum wheel clearance and turning radius.
- All shock mounts, air spring mounts, and sway bar mounts are integrated into the design so you don’t have to finish the engineering in order to enjoy your ride!
