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.

Height-Sensor

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.

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
