after reasonably straight forward install, turned it on . aired up fine. switched between settings on remote, thought it was the neatest thing ever. checked for leaks with soapy water. no issues for about a week. about 4:00 a.m. hear noise that wakes me out of bed. compressor going off over and over(no its not quiet) checked for leaks , none. no more issues untill about 3 days later, about same time. i now leave settings at zero at night to avoid 4 am events. have never had issue during day, can't find any leaks. in addition can't really feel a difference between settings after playing with different setups alot. to be fair have f-250 with overloads and straight axle front that i haven't put a load on with these shocks yet. but i was hoping to dampen the ride with no weight more than anything, doesn't do that. would not go through the hassle or cost again.

Great Product, works excellent when loaded down. The installation directions are a little vague. You need to be able to engineer a couple things yourself. But all in all and excellent product for your dollar.

After installing the Eibach pro-kit springs, my car was in need of rear camber adjustment. These did the trick - brought it back to factory specifications but I like the fact that they're adjustable so in the future, I can dial-in more of a performance oriented alignment set. Eibach in my opinion makes products that are near OEM quality and definitely one of the best after market products out there. Very happy with the purchase.

I bought these for my 2011 f150 for towing. I have a WD hitch but needed more support and did not want to install air bags. These worked perfectly and made it seem like there was no trailer attached when we crossed speed bumps and breaks in the road at bridges and such.

I was hoping for a rigid gap guard that would match my stock wheel well, and these were flimsy rubber sheets that took several days of redrilling and adjusting in order to make them stop rubbing on my tires durring turns. If I had seen them in person before I bought them I would have made my own gap guards instead, but they do keep the road salt and mud off my engine better.

I had this kit installed by a shop so I can't speak for install. However, let me tell you the result after this 2.5" level blew me away. I'm very happy with the quality and result I got. Add some front Bilstein 5100's and you won't be sorry.

Looks great. I was expecting it to come down just a little more but overall I am satified with the look and performance. I was a bit of a pain to install due to the bed rib had to be bent over out of the way or you would have to pull the bed to install 2 bolts. (so I bent) Also had to pull the tow hitch to get to everything. Still over completely satisfied.

Love this airlift system. I tow a trailer with 4 ATV's. The air lift levels the truck and keeps the front end down to help get better gas milage. It also makes the steering feel much better. If you tow with a half ton pickup I highly suggest you get this.

i got these in less than 7 days after ordering them from AA. the parts were exactly as described. the shocks themselves are your average aftermarket (non reservoir) shock. they are better than stock, but they are not made to be out bajaing in the desert. in my case, i needed a shock with a little more travel than the stock shock on my dodge 2500 because i installed a leveling kit in the front end. the 5100 from bilstein was the ticket. its a very good "bang for you buck" product.

very good quality item. the front springs where exactly as advertised, the back springs, however, where lower and had to use"booster" rubber coils so car would sit level and clear fenders. rear springs were practically bottomed out, offering no suspension action. the instructions that were included were for a v-8 model[similar]mine was for a v-6. i will probably experiment with cutting stock springs for the rear for better travel. they should make front and rear springs available individually. very happy with the quality!!!

I installed the on board compressor today as I tow a couple times a day but like the smooth ride and handling of the independent suspension when I am not towing. The installation was pretty easy but did take a few hours to get everything where I wanted it. The gauge mount is a little too old school looking to mount in my dash so I installed it just under the bed rail. Looks and works great.

First of all, I have to say that the price, customer service, and entire 'experience' with autoanything was superior to any vendor I have yet to deal with. The shocks and struts are amazing. I was replacing Bilstein HD's that had 25k miles on them, and the Koni Yellows have increased ride quality as well as handling. I couldn't be happier.

Overall the system is great. Installation is horrible! The front springs are extra heavy and wont accept most spring compressors. Also the kit comes with NO instructions. If you dont have a winch I wouldn't recommend the heavy front springs, my front now sits over an inch higher than the rear.

I have a 2007 Yukon XL that had the stock sagging front end. I love this truck for its cargo space and smooth ride, but hated the way the nose drooped in the front. The ReadyLift Level Kit took care of the droop and makes my Yukon look awesome. Thanks to AutoAnything for the great price!!

Received the shocks in two different shipments since the back shocks were on back order (which I did not know). Took about 2-3 weeks to get them. Anyway, installation was easy, hardest part was getting the old ones off. Since the original shocks were shot the ride is improved quite a bit. A little stiffer than expected, but overall better ride. Good shock, great price.

I put a heavy duty set (SSA22) on my Fleetwood motorhome. They improved the handling and a lot better price than taking it to a spring shop. The install on this HD set requires much more than a C clamp as in the instructions, I ended up using 2 spring compressors and a pnuematic impact driver, still only took 2 hours from start to finish.

2011 Avalanche- I would have gotten this kit installed in about 1.5hrs if not for the right side shock being a bit difficult getting lined back up. Kit came missing one of the 6 top plates; a quick call had one on it's way, next day air. Impressive customer service. However, I misplaced it after it arrived so I only installed 2 top plates- gives about 2" lift on the front and at that, makes the truck just about perfectly level.

I converted my factory A/C to onboard air, rather than buying a viair compressor, but the kit still worked great. There were parts that I didnt use and extra parts that I still had to purchase to complete the project, but after pricing out everything individually, and in the kit, the kit was cheaper. It Had most of the stuff I needed, and once it was all hooked up, it works great. I love having control from the dash. I use the system to fill tires, run air tools for trail repairs, etc.

My car felt much more stable and also had improved turn-in after installing the thicker sway bar. Installation was a very tricky because of the maze of parts that I had to slide the sway bar through, but it was well worth it in the end.
