Why Purchase an On-Board Air Compressor System?

9/19/2013

You purchased a great set of air springs to help level your trailer load, so why should you spend the extra money to purchase an on-board air compressor system?

An on-board air compressor system allows you to increase and decrease the air pressure in your air springs from inside or outside your vehicle, generally with just the touch of a button.

Our on-board air compressor systems are compatible with most brands of air springs and come with a compressor, controller and all the parts you need to install the system on your vehicle, for convenient air filling on-the-go. On-board air compressor systems can be installed by in only a few hours and our network of Authorized Dealers are experienced in completing these installations quickly.

The compressor simply mounts to your vehicle’s frame and attaches to an air line that runs to your air springs. Some of our systems are even available with an EZ Mount bracket that quickens install time and is factory pre-tested for leaks.

Adding air suspension makes a huge difference when towing a trailer, but adding an on-board air compressor system makes it convenient and easy to use. We all know that road conditions can change suddenly and on-board air allows you to custom-tune your ride on the fly.

Air springs can also be fine tuned based on your trailer type or varying loads, and many allow you to program in your most-used settings, for easy inflation and deflation.

10 PSI for daily driving? Easy. 50 PSI for the 5th wheel camper? Even easier.

Just picture this: when you arrive at your camping destination and set your trailer down on site, what do you want to be thinking about? All you’ll be wanting to think about is starting your vacation. The last thing you want to worry about are the logistics of the trip home – “Where will I be able to find air for my air springs?!” 

With an on-board air compressor system from Air Lift, you’ll never have to worry about tracking down a gas station with an air compressor to re-air up before hitting the long road home. Adding an on-board air compressor makes your trips easier and adds an element of convenience that wasn’t there before.
