It’s true. The compact and midsize sedan market is rapidly changing and Tesla has certainly captured the attention of a new generation of drivers. Taking the electric car game to a lower level, Air Lift Performance now has you covered to slam your Model 3 to Mother Earth, while giving her a nod to future sustainability, clean air (from your car and your new shocks), and a stance that even Elon Musk can’t deny.
Our engineers started by giving your Tesla Model 3 the maximum drop without sacrificing performance – getting you down 112mm (4.4”) from stock. But simply getting you low is not enough for Air Lift Performance. Our kits are also about achieving the versatility that the common coilover cannot, eliminating classic lowered-car problems, like bottoming out, with the touch of a button. We pride ourselves on making sure that every Tesla Model 3 kit that we build not only provides a great ride, but also handles the curves like it should.
In front, the Tesla Model 3 kit features our double-bellow air springs over monotube, threaded-body shocks, which provide a comfortable ride and great body support during cornering or braking. With 30 levels of damping adjustability, the shocks allow for a huge range of customization, with the ability to go from super soft up to a stiff performance setup.

Frequently Ask Questions:
As the leader in air suspension products for over 60 years, Air Lift is committed to delivering quality parts that last. To ensure longevity for the customer, the key suspension components have been tested on a durability rig for over one million cycles, which equates to 100,000 miles. With a one-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, you can purchase this kit with peace of mind. Ditch those coils and get to a new level of low!
What sets these struts way apart from the coil-over crowd is the addition of our adjustable, progressive rate air springs. These high-rate springs create a stable platform for aggressive track-driving while providing a level of comfort not typically found with lowered suspensions. By using this progressive style of air springs and maximizing available suspension travel, you’ll be able to ride low without the punishing ride. And since they allow ride height to be adjusted with a button, no longer do you suffer the curses of static suspension lowness! No more issues with speed bumps or steeply angled drives. Raise it up as high as stock to ride off-road without damaging the under body, and just think how easy it will be to load it on the trailer or get your jack underneath.
And the handling? Feel like hitting the track or your favorite twisty road? We’ve spent countless hours at the track, fine-tuning our suspensions to give you the best handling possible. With the twist of the damping knob, you can go from a smooth street ride to a race-car-type stiffness that will have you grinning when you take your first curve at speed.
So what does it take to have such a versatile suspension? It all starts with having a strong foundation. In this case, the struts: Air Lift uses 30-way adjustable, monotube struts—with a serious range of damping adjustment—that have been specially tuned to match the air springs. Monotube construction is the preferred choice in racing, and it’s the preferred choice for us; its sensitivity to small inputs, as well as the great ability to shed heat when pushed to the limit, make it top-notch in our book. The 30 clicks of adjustment aren’t just for fun, but they allow you, the user, to dial in your preferred handling feel or desired ride quality. The range goes from super-stiff to very soft, adjusting rebound and compression together, but with proportionally more rebound. The struts weigh considerably less than the coil spring parts you remove, reducing unsprung weight—a benefit to both ride and handling.
Installation is simple with Air Lift Performance’s detailed instruction manuals and only basic hand tools are required to complete the job. EVERYTHING is included with the combo kits: front air struts, rear air springs, and tuned shocks. There are no modifications required in front, and only four small holes to drill in the rear spring pocket area. If you can wire a stereo and swap suspension parts, you can install this system yourself!
Okay, so as cool as all this sounds…what does it all mean? No more sacrificing ride quality to get your car low and losing any type of load-carrying capabilities. Now you can have a nice ride while getting the stance you really want. Hauling a heavy load, or taking all of your friends out for a night on the town? With lowered coils, you would be scraping everywhere you tried to go. With an Air Lift Performance kit, now you can just push a button and level your car back out.
What’s the bottom line? Great looks, awesome performance, exceptional versatility, proven durability, and easy installation…only from AIR LIFT PERFORMANCE!
