Default about the installation?

Question about Air runner setup!

I got air runner and wonder, does this kit require special equipment to do the pressure setting? Because friend ( I dont think he has experience on air setups) of mine said he can install that kit for me for $600 compare to specialized air suspension shop is wayy cheaper! Just without the custom trunk tho. So beside installing, what else is special to install air suspension? lol thanks!

I don't have air runners but most kits are a direct bolt on anyway and the difference of operation is in the management. but if by pressue settings you mean the pressure switch, it depends on what psi pressure switch you got. 150, 175, or 200. With accuair you use the controller to set your pressure switch setting. So, if you have an accuair management, then no you don't need any special tools or equipment. I can't answer for any other management because I don't have it. My opinion is to do it yourself and save $600. Its pretty simple. The bolt in of air struts is really quick. Running the air lines is easy just take your time routing them so they don't pinch or bind. Electrical is pretty simple as well. I was intimidated doing mine, but I did it all in a day. GL bro.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but is there even a DIY on how to install the ACCUAIR management system? A shop wants to charge me roughly around 2 grand for it to be done.. Past installation the shop had done took about a week.

There's no DIY on how to install elevel you gotta know what you doing I suggest not go attempt if you don't have knowledge and feel comfortable doing the install yourself . The install can take a while if you do it correctly 2k sounds little in the high side but it also depends who and how they are doing It.
