#lifeonair: True Dodge Believer Chris Jackson and His 2010 Dodge Challenger

“I got my Challenger, and I had a vision for it.”

Just a few months after Chris Jackson got his 2010 Dodge Challenger, he knew he wanted to lower it—partly for the flashy look and the better ride, but also just to be different. “I’m a different kinda guy,” he says, “I like to think out of the box.”

Chris Jackson named his Challenger “Miss Behaving,” and comments on her snarky “smile” and overall attitude. He explains, “I just thought it kinda fit her, and that’s how people know her.” After a pause, he adds: “She looks like she could be a little nasty.”

Chris states that Air Lift offers the best system for what he needs to fulfill his dream for Miss Behaving. “Like in the old days,” he explains, “you buy a cheaper model and do whatever you want with it to match your vision. And it looks great. The car just looks mean.” ALP kits provide the stance he wants, and provide the handling and adjustability that he can trust to get him all over the country—which Chris has done.

In fact, on one such cross-country road trip, Chris had an incident that could have ended in disaster—but he got by with a little help from his friends at Air Lift.

“I was driving from Florida up to Detroit, and I stopped in Nashville for this Hot Rod Magazine photoshoot.” He was on his way back when he realized he might need some product support from the Air Lift team. Chris called Air Lift and filled them in about the mishap, and decided which parts he would need to get back on the road.

“I called, and the very next morning, [they] had that waiting at the front desk for me. I fixed it out in the parking lot of the motel.”

Since he’s riding low on air suspension, Chris admits that he gets a little bit of flac from his buddies, who call Miss Behaving a “gangster car.” Despite the occasional joke about the low-rider, however, he asserts that “99 percent of people really do love the look, but they don’t really get it.” He believes that the only problem with being on air is that people don’t seem to understand it. He does his part in defending the air ride, however, and when he meets the occasional hardcore static guy, he brushes it off.
