I had the opportunity to test their new coilovers and airbag components, and learn a few things from the air-ride man himself, Bret Voelkel. Bret started the company because he was on the road a lot and kept seeing semitrucks rolling down the road with stickers that read "Air-Ride Equipped". Bret, having a do-it-yourself hot rod attitude, wanted to incorporate airbags in his hot rod. Some trial and error was in order; luckily, Bret had plenty of friends who were willing to pay him to build an airbag kit for their ride.
