The Best way to manage Air Ride on a Classic Volkswagen is to have the right parts to do what is needed every time. The Air Management Kit (AMK) will allow your Classic VW to lower and raise with a toggle, and the tank will auto-fill to be ready the next time you want to make a suspension adjustment. A 4-valve AMK will do the entire VW perfectly. A 2-valve AMK will perfectly do a single axle, front or rear.

Lay it in the weeds. Check. Get up a driveway without dragging the vehicle on the ground. Check. A lovely comfortable ride that even momma will enjoy. CHECK!! Isn't it time to finally set your suspension up correctly with a Complete Air Ride kit from the PRO's at Airkewld?
