Finding the Correct Air Pressure for Your Air Suspension

Setting the correct air pressure in your air suspension system is essential for safe towing, proper load leveling, and ride comfort. Whether you’re hauling gear, towing a trailer, or driving unloaded, understanding how air pressure works and how to adjust it helps your vehicle perform the way it was designed to.

This guide explains how to find the right air pressure for your setup, what factors affect pressure, and how to avoid common mistakes.

Why Air Pressure Matters

Air suspension systems work by using air pressure to support added weight and maintain proper ride height. When pressure is set correctly, your vehicle stays level, steering and braking remain predictable, and suspension components are protected from excessive stress.

Incorrect air pressure, either too much or too little, can lead to poor handling, rough ride quality, and unnecessary wear on your vehicle.
