Air cup suspension lift

[n144sh]

I think a number of people have fit air cup suspension lift systems. Can you share what you fitted?

I was looking at the Stanceparts kit but it appears it will be a very tight fit if at all.

Thanks

I have fitted a hydraulic system to my current GTR build for the exact reason you have mentioned, where do you put the 3 gallon tank? it is a ram lift pro and the hyd pump fits nicely next to the battery. I intend on posting some pictures shortly on the thread that asked about best modifications. Lee

Thanks, I would be interested in seeing some pictures of the the ram system. As far as the tank - I was thinking either behind the seats if room or in the passenger luggage compartment.

Update on air cup suspension. Doing a bit more work I am pretty sure the Stanceparts system will work for the front with minor mods. It won't work on the back, the air cups are just too big.

I am working with Stanceparts directly to get me some modified pistons to go in their standard cups. The Ultima factory dampers have inner spring diameter of 57mm and shaft diameter of 12.0mm. Both are too small for a standard offering from Stanceparts. I have the cups and it seems they will fit and work on the front with just the modified pistons. It will be 4-6 weeks before they do another production run and I will report back then. If it fits as I expect then it is a pretty reasonably priced option for front lift.

Here are a couple of pictures. The first shows the cup installed on the front. Clearance is close but I believe it will work. I did have to bend over the tab for the brake line but no other mods. The tank and compressor fit perfectly behind the seat and still allows the seats to still be in the most rearward position.

Let me know any questions - happy to discuss and I will update as I hear from the factory on the custom pistons.

Stanceparts now has the custom cups available. It is not listed on their website but if you contact the factory they can supply with the 12mm shaft size that fits the Ultima Evolution dampers. I haven't installed / tested yet but have them on order.
