Air Suspension

Companies make a wide range of air suspension kits. While the individual offerings may have some unique features, most designs work with the same basic system.

In addition to the air suspension parts that fit inside the vehicle's coil springs, kits also require a compressor and a storage tank. The compressor keeps air pressure high in the storage tank so that when a driver opens a valve, air can be used to raise or lower suspension. It is very rare that a car manufacturer installs air suspension as standard on new vehicle, however there are a multitude of aftermarket solutions.

Air Suspension Requires Proper Installation

Some drivers may be able to choose and install the right air suspension kits on their own, but many people will require help installing their first systems. An incorrect setup could damage the vehicle as well as the suspension kit.

Air suspension may be used to improve the appearance of a vehicle by raising and lowering its height, but its primary purpose is to increase the load capacity of your vehicle. For example, when a kit is installed on a pickup truck, the owner can adjust the height of the vehicle so that it matches a camper or other towed item. The right height allows for more control on the road and in many cases, a more comfortable ride.
