DESCRIPTION
Installing a pair of air shocks on your vehicle allows you to
increase its ride height, helping to bring the vehicle level when
hauling a heavy load. When air shocks are installed with heavier
springs on a truck chassis, they help to increase the useful load
of the vehicle.
Shocks and springs are often the only difference between a half-ton
truck or van and a three-quarter ton truck or van.
Air shocks work just like normal shocks. They are designed to
withstand compression and damping forces. When you hit a bump in
the road, your suspension compresses. The suspension then rebounds
back to normal. Damping refers to how the suspension handles these
compression and rebound forces after you hit a bump in the road.
Heavy loads may cause compression and rebound forces to overwhelm
your factory suspension. To haul heavy loads safely, you may need
to install a pair of air shocks, as well as heavier springs on your
rear suspension system.
Air shocks include metal fittings, a plastic air hose, and a
Schrader valve to allow you to fill them with air after
installation. An air shock pump or even a simple bicycle pump may
be used to fill your air shocks. Air lines must be purged of
moisture periodically as part of a regular maintenance routine.
Like normal shocks, air shocks have a metal, tube-shaped housing
with a steel damping rod mounted inside of it. When compression
forces move the damping rod, a type of fluid exchange happens in
the tube-shaped housing. That fluid can be air, shock oil, or some
combination of both, depending on the design of the shock.
