Conclusion
If you’re considering the purchase of an air bag suspension, you
need to be aware of more than just the advantages. Even though you
will be rewarded with great ride quality, you should weigh that
against the disadvantages:
The main roadblock to using an air bag suspension is cost. It’s got
to be the most expensive suspension system on the market. If you
want air bag ride quality, you’re going to have to pay for it. It’s
that simple.
Due to the complexity of an air bag suspension system, installation
should be given to a qualified mechanic. Proper installation will
ensure that safety objectives are met. Not only that, most kits
require professional installation for the warranty to be honored by
the manufacturer.
Air suspension kits are exposed to harsh road conditions. Like
other suspension products, wear and tear will play a factor in the
duration of every air bag suspension. Therefore, proper maintenance
is required.

Installation
The biggest drawback of an air bag suspension has always been
installing it. Fortunately, the newer air bag suspension kits have
reduced the need for cutting and drilling. However, you will need
to drill holes to mount the compressor, manifold and tank. If you
own a car or light-duty truck, there’s going to be problems with
space, not to mention the noise factor whenever the compressor
decides to kick in.
Expense
If you want the smooth ride that air bags offer, you’re going to
have to pay for it. Without including labor, you’ll be looking at a
couple of thousand dollars. If you decide to install it yourself to
save on labor costs, there are quite a few components in the box.
If you’re not a gear head, the task is probably above your pay
grade.
