SEMA 2025: What You Missed from the Biggest Week in Performance Culture
11/26/2025
SEMA never disappoints, and this year it felt bigger. Louder. Wilder. And for the Air Lift Performance crew, it was one for the books. From award-winning innovation to packed aisles of jaw-dropping builds, the 2025 SEMA Show reminded the world why ALP sits at the center of modern automotive culture.
If you weren’t in Vegas… here’s what you missed.
The Builds: A Show Floor Powered by Air Lift Performance
SEMA is about expression – the bold, the brilliant, the just-because-we-can. And this year, Air Lift Performance was everywhere.
Our team captured 86 ALP-equipped vehicles across the show floor:
- JDM legends tucking deep
- Ultrawide Euros shredding shadows under the Treadpass lights
- Trucks sitting on frame, aired out in full flex
- Lowriders laid flat with polished hard lines and show-ready trunk builds
- EV customs proving stance culture isn’t slowing down
Every corner of the show felt like a vibe check and ALP-equipped builds passed with full style points.
The Awards: A Historic Sweep for Air Lift Performance
SEMA is the industry’s biggest stage, and this year ALP walked away with hardware.
SEMA Best New Product — ALP4 Air Management System
The ALP4 air management system took center stage, winning Best New Product against one of the toughest fields in recent memory. The industry showed up, saw it in action, and agreed: this is the new standard for intelligent air management.
TORA Feature Vehicle – Best in Show 2025
The “Low Lux” 1972 Toyota Hilux build, powered by ALP4, swept the Truck & Off-Road Alliance awards. A perfect blend of classic metal, modern engineering, and show-stopping stance.
SEMA Visionary 8 — Ryan Rutledge, Air Lift Director of Innovation
A massive recognition for Ryan, who continues to lead the charge in redefining what air suspension can be. This award celebrates the next generation of automotive leaders, and we couldn’t be prouder to see Ryan represent Air Lift Performance on that stage.
Behind the Scenes: Unveilings, Collabs & Community
SEMA isn’t just about what’s on display, it’s conversations, connections, and the people behind the builds.
This year, our team was everywhere:
- Meeting with key creators and influencers
- Connecting with builders running everything from 3H/3P to ALP4 to full custom hard-line setups
- Spotlighting builds in real-time reels and stories
- Capturing behind-the-scenes footage of the Treadpass energy, booth unveilings, and late-night setup chaos
Our content team pushed out daily drops so the community could experience SEMA from anywhere. If you missed it, don’t worry… the full recap is right here.
