WHAT IS AIR SUSPENSION USED FOR?

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.

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.

IS AIR SUSPENSION GOOD FOR DAILY DRIVING?

A common question we receive here at AccuAir is: “will air suspension be good for daily driving?” The simple answer is yes. Air suspension has been proven to be a great addition to vehicles for daily driving if installed and maintained correctly. If you do not maintain your air suspension system or did not install it correctly, you could have issues that may make air suspension seem like a pain to operate. A professionally installed system will be perfectly fine for daily driving.

With that being said, there are a few things to take into consideration. In the winter months, you will want to ensure there is no water or condensation in your air tank. A water trap for your tank can fix this issue and ensure nothing freezes. You will also need to routinely check all of your components and air lines to ensure they are free of any defects. This is really important for exterior mounted items such as air lines and air shocks.
