AirBagIt Lowers its Vehicles, Not Performance

February 29, 2012 in Articles

Auto lovers are attempting to hit rock bottom with the aid of Mesa, Arizona-based AirBagIt as it expands industry leading line of vehicle lowering and leveling kits.

Already well-known among auto fans for its selection of lowering control arms, lowering shocks and C-notch kits, AirBagIt recently debuted several additions to its industry leading line of customizable body parts, including: vehicle lowering and leveling kits.

AirBagIt has debuted a new series of coils spring lowering kits for both cars and trucks and expanded its diverse selection of leveling kits to include vehicles produced by a host of foreign makers, including Mazda and Isuzu.

“These are really exciting developments for us,” said AirBagIt President, Joe Morrow. “We’ve always been proud to offer the best products to customers who drive a wide array of makes and models. Creating new products that expand our performance abilities – and increase the number of makes and models we can improve – is really something to be proud of.”

AirBagIt’s coil spring lowering kits are specially designed to lower the stance of a car or track without negatively affecting its performance. The latest developments join an existing product line including axle flip kits, lowering block kits, lowering hangers, lowering leaf springs, shock extenders and more. They are customizable to Mazda, Dodge, Chevrolet, Toyota and Ford trucks, as well as cars by Subaru, Volkswagen, Ford, Hyundai, Chrysler, BMW, Mercury and numerous other vehicle makers.

In addition to leveling kits that have proven popular among Ford, Lincoln, Chevrolet, Hummer and Jeep owners, AirBagIt is now offering leveling kits for vehicles manufactured by Toyota, Nissan and other foreign manufacturers.

“The fact that we’ve been able to increase our product lines like this is all about our designers, engineers and mechanics,” Morrow said.

AirBagIt first launched in 1987 under the name of Ratical Tops, a company specializing in assembling convertible tops for most truck brands of the day. In 1992, the firm expanded its specialty lines to include air-suspension systems and other products; that same year, it incorporated as AIM Industries, originator of the AirBagIt and Chassis Tech brands.

“Constant reinvention and dedication to excellence – that’s how you stay on top,” Morrow said. “AirBagIt.com has always been about innovation. In any business, you have to work hard to stay ahead of everybody else, and nobody works harder than our development staff and field mechanics.”

The latest lowering and leveling kits are just some of the newest innovations to be introduced by AirBagIt and Chassis Tech over the last 20 years.

“It’s innovations like these that allow AirBagIt to tell our customers, ‘If you need a suspension kit to improve your vehicle’s look or performance, we definitely have what you’re looking for!’ And when they buy it from us, they know they’re getting the best, because otherwise we wouldn’t put our name on it,” Morrow said.

“Marketing is required to be innovative to enhance its accountability,” Rogers said. “Social and digital media deserves special focus as it carries major risks but also fantastic rewards for marketing and CRM programmes.”

Among the topics and presenters at the two-day event, according to the ThoughtLeaderGlobal.com statement:

  • Alcatel-Lucent: Transforming Marketing Organization and Capability
  • Philips: Integrating social network information within your marketing plan
  • Deutsche Telekom: How the Brand Can Transform a Large Organization Over Time
