DESCRIPTION
Air suspension is one of the most popular modifications that car enthusiasts do to make their vehicles stand out. The ability to have your car’s stance be adjustable at the touch of a button makes it easy to have your vehicle as low as you want. There are many questions revolving around air suspension as there are a lot of components involved in each kit. Today, we are going to look at exactly what an air suspension system is, what it is used for, and what the pros and cons are of air suspension.
An air suspension system is a suspension system that replaces your factory shocks and struts with air shocks that allow for adjustable ride height. Air suspension is available from the factory on some vehicles, but we can discuss that in a later post. For the sake of this article, we are going to focus on aftermarket air suspension systems.
Air suspension systems are made up of an air compressor, an air tank, a manifald, air lines, and air stucts. There are some little miscellaneous pieces as well, but these will be the main components. These components work together to draw in air, pressurize it, and send it to each air strut. The air strut is a strut that is outfitted with a bladder which inflates with air to raise your vehicle and deflates to lower your vehicle. These air suspension systems can be controlled by a smartphone app or by a wireless controller, depending on your specific setup.
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.
