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.
