Truck Air suspension is powered by an electric air pump or compressor. This pump pressurizes the air, using compressed air as a spring. Truck Air suspension replaces conventional steel springs. If the engine is left off for an extended period, the Truck will settle to the ground and give your Truck a true low-rider appearance.
The purpose of air suspension is to provide smooth ride quality. Some air suspension kits have the ability to adjust self-leveling springs from soft to hard. By upgrading your Truck Stock Suspension to the Truck Air Suspension you can achieve increase both comfort and load capacity simultaneously. We carry all the Truck Air Suspension Kits and Components: Chassis Components, Management Components such as Air Compressors, Air Valves, Air Tanks, Air Gauges; Air Lift & Air Assist Load Leveling Kits and provide all the instructions you need to get your Air Suspension system up and running smoothly.

Air Suspension
Air suspension is a type of vehicle suspension powered by an engine driven or electric air pump or compressor. This pump pressurizes the air, using compressed air as a spring. Air suspension replaces conventional steel springs. If the engine is left off for an extended period, the car will settle to the ground. The purpose of air suspension is to provide a smooth ride quality and in some cases self-leveling.
While not using high pressure mineral oil, the system aims to achieve a result similar to the hydropneumatic suspension arrangement introduced in 1954.
Vehicles that use air suspension include models from Maybach, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover/Range Rover, Audi, Volkswagen, and Lincoln (automobile), among others.
The air suspension designs from Land Rover, and some Audi and VW models, feature height adjustable suspension controlled by the driver, suitable for clearing rough terrain. The Lincoln Continental also feature an air suspension system in which the driver could chose how sporty or comfortable he or she wanted the suspension to feel. The suspension settings in the Lincoln Continental were also linked to the memory seat system, meaning that the car would automatically adjust the suspension to the driver.
In addition to passenger cars, air suspension is broadly used on semi trailers.
