Questions for you guys with air ride. How does the winter affect air ride? I'm worried about freezing temps. I heard people use air brake antifreeze and water traps. Is there anything else I need to worry about? I dont plan on playing with the ride height during winter months but I want to make sure I dont damage anything. Thanks

ive had air ride on my previous car that was a DD and i had no problems. water traps help and i recommend running one anyway but it doesnt stop all water from getting into the tank. Depending on how cold it is, when you hit a switch it could freeze the valve and have the valve stuck open. Ive seen people use electric blanket heaters on top of their valves to warm them up so it doesnt freeze.

you mainly have a problem after the car has been sitting for a long period of time ie over night but then again it all depends on how cold it is where you live and how cold the inside of your car is (that is if you keep your valves in the trunk).

I left one of my cars at a friends house for 3 days under snow...steep driveway and a ton of wrecked cars at the bottom, so I just walked down and called a ride.

came back a few days later and everything was "ok"


Our temps dont get that low for extended periods of time....

Its all about what you have installed .... i drive my M45 24/7 in Canada bagged on air runner but i have upgraded to larger air lines/ water trap drain holes and a ALM tank ... worked great @ - 25 ..
