What is Air Suspension?

Air suspension is an alternative to traditional steel springs, designed to solve common problems like truck squat and rear sag. Instead of relying solely on leaf or coil springs, it uses adjustable air springs that inflate with compressed air to support your vehicle.

An air suspension system can either work with or replace your existing suspension, keeping your vehicle level and stable. By adjusting the air pressure, you can create the ride you want, whether you’re hauling gear, towing a trailer, or just cruising light. Air suspension works like a built-in yet adjustable leveling kit, giving you more control and confidence behind the wheel.

How does air suspension improve ride comfort?

Rough roads, heavy payloads, and uneven terrain can all make driving less enjoyable. Airbag suspension improves ride comfort by absorbing bumps, reducing vibration, and keeping your vehicle level. By dialing in the right air pressure, you maintain stability and smooth handling, mile after mile.

Unlike fixed springs like leaf or coil, air springs adapt on demand, delivering comfort whether you're driving empty or carrying a full load. They're the only load support solution that can help level out heavy weight and smooth the ride at the same time; a rare balance that helps to make every trip safer, easier, and far less fatiguing.

How does air suspension improve towing?

Pulling heavy and uneven loads can lead to truck squat and rear sag, which affect handling, steering, and braking. Towing with air suspension solves this by leveling out the vehicle with adjustable air pressure. This helps keep your vehicle balanced, greatly improves steering response, and enhances braking for a more comfortable and safer towing experience.

Many of today's towing concerns, like rear sag, misaligned headlight aim, reduced braking power, sluggish steering control, or bottoming out, come from heavy or uneven loads. When you install a quality air suspension system, those problems nearly disappear. With the right air suspension load support system, you will certainly enjoy a smoother and safer ride and gain peace of mind wherever your next adventure may lead!
