How to Choose An On-Board Air Compressor System
9/2/2014
First things first…what is an on-board air compressor?
You probably know that air spring suspension is the most versatile suspension system out there…and a compressor system is what makes the springs adjustable and ready for any load. An on-board air compressor is a system that allows you to adjust the air pressure in your air springs from the touch of a button. Because of this, you can easily adjust the load support and leveling capacity of your vehicle…so this comes in handy, especially when you’re towing or hauling some heavy loads.
That sounds pretty solid. Now…which one is right for me?
Well, that depends on your answers to a few questions…
Question 1: What are you towing/hauling?
On the flip side, if you generally haul loads with an even weight distribution, you might like the single-path compressor system. The difference is that it will adjust your air springs simultaneously, ensuring that you don’t needlessly inflate or deflate them unevenly.
