    Lightbulb Any air suspension manufacturers out there that offer the ability to RAISE the car?

    I have been doing some research but so far have not had much luck.

    Are there any air suspension companies out there that make air suspension for a B7 that offer the ability to raise the car over stock sport suspension ride height?
    Ideally I'd like to find a setup that would offer maybe a half inch drop at most over stock sport and a 1-2" raise.

    I often use my Avant for adventures off of the beaten path, deep snow, gravel roads, logging roads, etc.
    I do spend lots of time highway driving as well so wouldn't mind having a decent ride height for day-to-day driving, but the ability to raise it would be very useful. Far more useful than slamming it.

    None of the companies I have checked with offer the ability to raise the car substantially. I guess a custom install could be an option but not knowing how air kits install, it's tough to say what's feasible.

    Thoughts? Has anyone else looked into this?

    Sounds like you'd be the perfect allroad man

    allroad is your next car man. I had a 2001 with the 2.7T and variable air ride over ride with VCDS and jacked up you had plenty of room for offroad adventures. my car sold recently from the idiot I sold it to. I installed replacement 2.7T with 150,000 km engine and complete 034 aluminum/rs4 clutch stage 2 for $1000 Canadian. needed work as the idiot I sold it to was well an idiot. anyway you my friend need to get into and allroad and never question your offroad journeys again.

    btw there was a guy on pirate4x4 who jacked up an allroad. I think modified air suspension was what he used and most of it sourced from pretty basic parts from oem to other cars. might wanna look there for what he used to make the suspension raise but I think he raised it 4-6" from the oem lifted setting.

    Haha, yes, the Allroad is tempting but I just love the look of the B7 Avants too much! In an ideal world, I'd have a 2.7t Allroad as my 'utility' vehicle and keep my B7 for highway cruising.
