FLEX TESTING a Jeep Gladiator with ACCUAIR Air Suspension on the Rocks Plus Other Benefits

Рет қаралды 65,484

Жыл бұрын

Does it flex? That is the one question that I get asked all the time about the ACCUAIR air suspension system. That or versions of it like, can it flex? What kind of articulation does it have? Can it rock crawl? And, that's what Cindy and I hope to show you in this first video of the ACCUAIR Jeep JT Gladiator, out on the rocks and with the purpose of letting you decide how it does. I should note that you'll also get to see a few other cool benefits of having this kit so pay attention and be sure to watch until the end.

Thanks for all your accuair videos. I’m a disabled vet and at the age of 70 I’m finally giving in and lowering the difficulty of the trails I ride and looking for a more comfortable ride. I’m going from a JL Rubicon to a Bronco (IFS benefits) and am considering the accuair system. I greatly appreciate the info you are providing. As an aside, you have excellent off-road driving skills, unlike a lot of the KZfaq personalities who use speed and over-built vehicles to make up for their lack of skill. The “kids” need a good example, and you sir are.

I like how these work per corner, very cool. Tire inflation is very cool too. This could be a nice upgrade for my RockLander build eventually. Shorter airbags integrated into a coilover would be a neat way to select ride height without making the spring too stiff. Airbags filled to max height tend to be very stiff and result in a pogo stick effect (like the Grand Cherokee TrailHawk) however these seem to still compress decently at taller ride heights. I bet you get better fuel economy on the highway If you lower the ride all the way down too.

@wayalife Жыл бұрын

Yup, when set to #1 which is 2" lower than the default height, you do see better fuel economy.

Very interesting, as a new sub I’ve got some ideas… While driving on an edge of a slope (as if going to flip) can you air up one side max and bottom out the opposite side to feel level inside just for kicks. Next when the front and rear opposite tires are free spinning or there about (stuck), add air to the compressed (grounded tires) to give traction back to the ones that has lost it. Being non rubicon think that would be an interesting test for many. Cant forget max payload and trailer tongue to test out the towing handling characteristics.

Probably the best solution for those that want to overland and light Rock crawling. It did well ( obviously not as good as a full coilover kit with long arm Suspension ) if all you're going to do is Rock crawl idk why anyone would buy a Gladiator to just do that... Air-Bags hold up well ( only downfall is getting oil on them. ) Not sure of the quality of the Air Compressor but it probably wouldn't hurt to buy an extra one ( just in case ) It also would be nice if they could design some sort of a Puck to stick under the bag to raise the Vehicle if Failure should happen to one of the bags.

@GatorOverland Жыл бұрын

@wayalife how does the draglink account for the different ride heights? I assume the steering wheel straight ahead would change at different heights. There is a sensor in the steering that will activate limp mode as a traction control tactic if it's senses that the steering is too many degrees turned after certain speeds are reached in the case that the vehicle is in a side slide.

@wayalife Жыл бұрын

As I mentioned in our previous video, all the suspension and steering components are set for the default ride height, setting #2. At setting #1, there isn’t enough of a change in geometry to affect steering and you can drive at all speed without issue. Riding on the bump stops or at maximum height, setting #3, you can only drive at speeds of 25 mph or under. In other words, below the threshold that would trigger the traction control system.

So, ride quality is 100% subjective but in my opinion, this system rides smoother and more comfortable than our stock 392 or JL Sport. As far as off roading goes, I would say that it's as comparable if not a bit better than a lot of kits that I've tested with 37s.

I have it on my Deisel jl and it works great. Unfortunately it can’t be sold as a direct bolt on kit with no cutting involved. The inner bump stops on a Deisel are longer as well as the 392 or 4xe. So there is some cutting involved. That’s why they don’t offer it for the Deisel , 392, or 4xe yet. According to AccuAir mine is the only Deisel that they are aware of that has this kit, and they (AccuAir) had to do some engineering to make it work correctly. I would like to guess that in the future it will be available. As to when I don’t know.

@@thaddeuslove6313 They fabricated a skid plat to hold the air compressor and valve body under the jeep in the rear. Now I’m in a different situation due to me having the 2021 setup, that came with dual air tanks. So my tanks are mounted on each role bar on the angle in the back of the jeep. Due to the bump stops being longer, the bump stop housings had to be cut down some to get a correct fit for the air bag. Other than that, that’s about it. I had a lot of problems out of the 2021 setup due to install issues, and AccuAir was a great company to work with. They really took great care of me.

On bumps/humps how does it feel? Must be better than traditional lift kit but less than the EVO high speed kit you tested couple weeks ago?

@wayalife Жыл бұрын

You are correct. This suspension system is not nor is it trying to be a set of coilovers. It rides nicer than stock but no where near as fast as coilovers. We have a video on this coming soon.

@vinceh8468 Жыл бұрын

Very nice! What is that buzzing sound around 9:54? It seems to run for some time. Is it the air compressor? If so, why does the system need more air, is it the extreme articulation?

@wayalife Жыл бұрын

The Jeep you're looking at runs ARB air lockers. Unfortunately, the one in the rear ProRock 80 axle has a leak inside the differential. We've replaced it several times and it's just a defect in the design. It still works with the compressor on but it is annoying to all hell.

Looks like plenty of flex & it seems that the height provided all you needed for those trails. Now the question I have is how is the ride, feel & control compared to a normal lift that is tuned correctly?

Eddie will put it through its paces. My question is if it will hold up over time being worked hard. Land Rover’s air suspension has a tendency to work well initially, but fail, eventually. I hope the AccuAir system worked out those issues.

@wayalife Жыл бұрын

Not sure what issues you're referring to but ACCUAIR says they will warranty their air pistons for 100k miles.

@edwardharkins9855 Жыл бұрын

@@wayalife Not AccuAir’s issues. Land Rover had some between leaks in their struts, which manifests itself in the suspension sagging and compressors being overworked to compensate if the leaks aren’t addressed. And that warranty from AccuAair says to me they stand behind their product.
