Game-Changing Air Lift Performance 3H Air Suspension System Provides Advanced Height and Pressure Control

LANSING, Mich. – Air Lift Performance, a leader in high-performance air suspension systems, has taken air management technology to the next level with the new Air Lift Performance 3H system. The most advanced product ever created by the design and engineering experts at Air Lift Performance , 3H is the result of three years of development and testing. This powerful, reliable height and pressure system brings together the latest technology, and excellent design to offer an innovative user experience.

Air Lift Performance 3H combines pressure-based control with ride height sensing technology, allowing the system to factor both height and pressure together, so the right height can be achieved without radical differences in pressure. With up to five custom presets, the system quickly adjusts to and maintains height and/or pressure with the push of a button.

A major objective for the 3H system was to improve the way consumers interacted with their vehicles. One key aspect is the carefully-designed controller, crafted to be very easy to hold and use. Inside of its black anodized, billet aluminum casing, the controller has a full-color TFT display with an adjustable backlight, it provides at-a-glance status of height and pressure conditions and displays the tank pressure, with four corner height or pressure readings to control each individual air spring. The intuitive design of the soft touch keypad features buttons that allow physical feedback, so the system can be adjusted without having to look at. the controller.

The keypad can be configured to work horizontally, allowing the controller to be turned sideways and used in a landscape position. The threaded holes in the back allow the user to mount the control in their dash, or in any custom configuration. A mico USB cable flush-mounts on the back of the controller so that it can maintain a low, clean profile in the vehicle.

An innovative alternative to using the controller is the free mobile app available for iOS and Android devices (coming soon) which communicates directly with the manifold. No additional components are required, and users receive the latest system firmware h updates through the app directly to the manifold and controller over the Bluetooth connection.

The compact, fully integrated manifold of the 3H system is designed with the ECU, manifold and Bluetooth module in one complete unit for a clean and simple install. The single harness connection also simplifies wiring, and the overall compact design, harness connector location, and rotatable logo plate allow for limitless placement options.

Advanced 32-bit processing power drives the height and pressure algorithms for precise 4-corner control, with height sensing technology that provides the ability to control the system with a unique, angular sensor arm that improves upon the straight design that was available in the market. Designed to reduce tension and ensure increased sensor life, it has been torture-tested over 3,000,000 cycles (simulating 300,000 miles driven) for maximum performance.

All hardware and software have been subjected to rigorous environmental, real world tests. The manifold and controller were baked to 167°F (74°C) and arctic chilled to -40°F to simulate various climates. The manifold was subjected to 1,500 PSI water spray to ensure that the unit would stay free of water and dust. On top of that, 100% of the manifolds are end of line tested on state-of-the-art validation equipment. Like the Performance Series suspension produced by Air Lift Performance, the control system is designed for maxium durability and performance. Air Lift Performance incorporated an accelerometer in the manifold to allow the system to detect movement of the vehicle, so it can make accurate and intelligent adjustments at the right time. To handle changes in load or driving conditions such a cornering, the system’s anti-cross loading and axle equalization allows the system to consider both height and pressure measures together – to achieve the right height without radical differences in pressure.

The 3H features a show mode that allows users to turn the car off and continue to control the system with the controller or the free mobile app. A rise on start function allows users to turn the key and the system takes the car right to the programmed ride height.

For clean and easy installation, the 3H system’s key components require less drilling, wiring and take up less space than other air management systems. The user-friendly focus of the 3H system continues after installation with easy to follow calibration documents and intuitive controller menus.

Created to offer maximum system value, the 3H system comes with everything for height and pressure control, and can be connected to existing compatible height sensors.. Users can also start with the Air Lift Performance 3P pressure based system and upgrade to a 3H system later with a height system upgrade.

Air Lift Company supports the Air Lift Performance 3H and 3P control system s with a Limited Lifetime Warranty to the original purchaser against any manufacturer defects.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
