DESCRIPTION

Adjustable Ride Height For Show Purposes - One of the most common uses for air suspension is to air out your vehicle. What this means is that the vehicle owner simply wants their vehicle to get to a certain stance, but does not want to drive at this height at all times. Air suspension makes this very easy due to its on-the-fly adjustability.

Keeping Truck From Squating When Towing/Hauling - Another popular use for air suspension is to keep the rear of your truck from squating while towing or hauling. Trucks can be outfitted with air shocks in the rear to inflate when the truck has a heavy load. This helps to keep your truck level, reducing stress on components such as your driveshaft.

Raise/Lower Vehicle For Specific Purposes - Last but not least is the use of air suspension for specific purposes. If you are needing adjustable suspension to clear obstacles or to allow for something to be loaded into your vehicle, an air suspension system could be a great addition to make life easy.

Air shocks work just like normal shocks. They are designed to withstand compression and damping forces. When you hit a bump in the road, your suspension compresses. The suspension then rebounds back to normal. Damping refers to how the suspension handles these compression and rebound forces after you hit a bump in the road. Heavy loads may cause compression and rebound forces to overwhelm your factory suspension. To haul heavy loads safely, you may need to install a pair of air shocks, as well as heavier springs on your rear suspension system.

Air shocks include metal fittings, a plastic air hose, and a Schrader valve to allow you to fill them with air after installation. An air shock pump or even a simple bicycle pump may be used to fill your air shocks. Air lines must be purged of moisture periodically as part of a regular maintenance routine.

Air suspension is used for many different purposes, depending on what the end user is wanting to accomplish. With its great versatility, an air suspension system can be used in many different ways.
