DESCRIPTION

Sleeve-style air springs are designed for lift and ride control. The internally mounted sleeve is covered by a bag, made of flexible, heavy-gauge rubber. The bag is crimped into the spring mount on one end and swaged onto the opposite end, sealing the contents inside.

When air is compressed into the spring, the two-piece sleeve extends, lengthening the assembly to achieve the desired ride height.

Sleeve style air springs are extremely well suited for applications when space is limited, and loads are light. Sleeve-style air springs are perfect for light-duty trucks, custom street rods and track cars.

Some of the drawbacks of air suspension systems are because of some of the mechanical issues they can be vulnerable to. Several of the common issues with air suspension systems that can require repair include:

• Rust or moisture damage from the inside that can lead to the air struts or bags to malfunction
• Failure of the air suspension tubing connecting the air struts or bags to the air system
• Air fitting failure resulting from initial fitting or infrequent use
• Compressor burn out due to air leaks in the springs or air struts from the compressor constantly engaging to maintain the proper air pressure
