Air Ride & MagneRide Delete Install
Nashville · Hendersonville · Clarksville
Sagging corner, compressor that never shuts off, leaking MagneRide shocks, suspension warning light? We remove the failing factory air or magnetic suspension and install an AirDelete, MagDelete, or Strutmasters conversion kit, done right at either Music City 4x4 shop.
Signs Your Air Suspension Is Failing
Factory air ride and magnetic suspension work great until the bags dry-rot, the compressor wears out, or the shocks start leaking. If you see any of these, it's time to repair or delete.

AirDelete & MagDelete
AirDelete builds complete conversion kits for Ram trucks and Jeep Grand Cherokee, and its MagDelete line replaces GM MagneRide and Adaptive Ride Control. Every kit is vehicle-specific and comes with the parts to shut off the factory system cleanly, including the module that keeps the dash warning lights off.
- Ram 1500 kits for 2013-2018 and DT 2019+, with separate Rebel / off-road package kits
- Choose the shock: AirDelete standard, Bilstein 5100, Fox 2.0, or Eibach
- Optional upper control arm upgrades (JBA, Mevotech, Rough Country) for proper alignment
- Bilstein 5100 3" lift and conversion combos for Ram 1500
- MagDelete kits for Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Escalade, Sierra Denali, and Silverado ARC
Strutmasters Conversion Kits
Strutmasters replaces failing air and magnetic suspension with passive coil springs and struts. Their catalog is the widest in the business, so it's our go-to for Ford, Lincoln, Lexus, Toyota, Land Rover, and anything outside the Ram and GM world.
- Passive conversion: fewer parts and fewer failure points than factory air
- Kits with suspension light modules so the dash stays clear
- 2" and 3" lift and conversion kits for Ram 1500, GM SUVs, and 4Runner
- Magnetic strut replacement if you'd rather keep the factory ride system
MagneRide Delete or Replace?
MagneRide (GM Magnetic Ride Control) uses shocks filled with magnetic fluid that the computer adjusts constantly. It rides great when new, but the shocks leak with age and replacements are expensive. You have two paths:
Swap to conventional shocks (MagDelete, Bilstein, Fox, Eibach, or Strutmasters) with a module that keeps the warning light off. No more magnetic shocks to replace. Bilstein and Fox options also firm up the ride and pair well with a level or lift.
Keep the factory system with new magnetic struts and shocks. You keep the adaptive ride, but you'll face the same wear again down the road.

Delete vs. Repair
| Repair factory air / MagneRide | Conversion / delete kit | |
|---|---|---|
| Parts | Air bags, compressor, valve block, sensors, or magnetic shocks | Coil springs and conventional shocks |
| Future failures | Same parts wear out again | Fewer parts, far fewer failure points |
| Warning lights | System stays active | Kit module keeps the dash clear |
| Ride height | Adjustable (when working) | Fixed, with level and lift options |
| Best for | Owners who want factory adjustability | Owners tired of repeat repairs, or who want to lift or level |

Air Ride & MagneRide Delete FAQ
Who does air suspension delete near Nashville?
Music City 4x4 installs AirDelete, MagDelete, and Strutmasters air suspension and MagneRide delete kits at 10 Industrial Park Drive, Hendersonville, TN 37075 (615-300-5858), about 20 minutes from downtown Nashville, and at 131 Corporate Drive, Clarksville, TN 37040 (931-367-5299).
What is an air suspension delete?
An air suspension delete, or conversion, removes the factory air bags, compressor, and height system and replaces them with coil springs and conventional shocks. A control module tells the computer the system is gone, so you don't get warning lights. The result is a simpler suspension with far fewer parts to fail.
Will the suspension warning light come on after a delete?
No. The AirDelete, MagDelete, and Strutmasters kits we install include the module or light-fix needed for your vehicle, so the dash stays clear after the conversion.
Should I delete MagneRide or replace the shocks?
Replacing keeps the factory adaptive ride, but the new magnetic shocks will eventually wear out the same way. Deleting swaps to conventional shocks like Bilstein, Fox, or Eibach, which ends the repeat replacements and pairs well with a level or lift. We quote both so you can compare.
How does it ride after the conversion?
It depends on the kit. Standard conversion kits are built to ride close to factory. Bilstein 5100 and Fox 2.0 options feel firmer and more controlled, which many truck owners prefer, especially with bigger tires.
Can I level or lift my truck at the same time?
Yes. AirDelete offers Bilstein 5100 3" lift and conversion combos for the Ram 1500, and Strutmasters offers 2" and 3" lift conversion kits for Ram 1500, GM SUVs, and 4Runner. Doing it in one visit saves a second alignment.
Which is better, AirDelete or Strutmasters?
Both are proven. AirDelete and MagDelete specialize in Ram, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and GM trucks and SUVs, with Bilstein, Fox, and Eibach shock options. Strutmasters covers far more makes, including Ford, Lincoln, Lexus, Toyota, and Land Rover. We recommend the best fit for your vehicle and how you use it.
Can I bring a kit I bought online for you to install?
We don't install customer-supplied parts. Buying the kit through us means we own fitment, install, and any warranty claim, and our pricing is competitive with online.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Standard and flexible-approval options are available. See our financing page.
