Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Some people have asked us …. “Why did you go with the Airock system?”
For one, The idea of a Jeep that rides on Air just fits with what we do at funville.(i.e. our Giant Inflatable Rides)
Now look at the benefits of the Airock Setup.
The following was taken form Off Road Onlys Web site …
There are many advantages over conventional spring suspensions. On road, the ride is smoother and the ACU automatically compensates for body roll by making real time pressure changes in each corner. The system also allows you to drive a vehicle with very large tires everyday, while maintaining a lower center of gravity, thus providing better handling. The system also has an optional “egress” mode which tells the vehicle to lower itself every time you turn it off, making getting in and out of it much safer and easier.
Off road the system gives you complete manual control of your vehicle. In off camber situations you can tell the vehicle to “lean” into the hill, or lower the vehicle to keep the center of gravity down. Tired of hitting your bumper on tall rocks you’re trying to climb? Press the “pitch front up” button and raise your bumper a few inches to clear those rocks! Next time you get high centered, simply raise the vehicle and continue down the trail. The air springs also articulate more naturally than coils. Coming down off of rocks is less jarring and off camber situations more stable. There are countless other situations that AiROCK™ systems make safer and more enjoyable.
In all modes, the height and ground clearance of your vehicle are maintained no matter how much weight you add or subtract from it. Now adding more lift to accommodate larger tires takes place in minutes instead of swapping out coils, simply adjust your “ride height” from inside the cab.
And I must add …
The Ride and Steering of this jeep is much better then it was at stock.
