DESCRIPTION
WHAT IS AIR SUSPENSION USED FOR?
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.
Adjustable Ride Height For Show Purposes - One of the most common
uses for air suspension is to air out your vehicle. What this means
is that the vehicle owner simply wants their vehicle to get to a
certain stance, but does not want to drive at this height at all
times. Air suspension makes this very easy due to its on-the-fly
adjustability.
Keeping Truck From Squating When Towing/Hauling - Another popular
use for air suspension is to keep the rear of your truck from
squating while towing or hauling. Trucks can be outfitted with air
shocks in the rear to inflate when the truck has a heavy load. This
helps to keep your truck level, reducing stress on components such
as your driveshaft.
Raise/Lower Vehicle For Specific Purposes - Last but not least is
the use of air suspension for specific purposes. If you are needing
adjustable suspension to clear obstacles or to allow for something
to be loaded into your vehicle, an air suspension system could be a
great addition to make life easy.
IS AIR SUSPENSION GOOD FOR DAILY DRIVING?
A common question we receive here at AccuAir is: “will air
suspension be good for daily driving?” The simple answer is yes.
Air suspension has been proven to be a great addition to vehicles
for daily driving if installed and maintained correctly. If you do
not maintain your air suspension system or did not install it
correctly, you could have issues that may make air suspension seem
like a pain to operate. A professionally installed system will be
perfectly fine for daily driving.
With that being said, there are a few things to take into
consideration. In the winter months, you will want to ensure there
is no water or condensation in your air tank. A water trap for your
tank can fix this issue and ensure nothing freezes. You will also
need to routinely check all of your components and air lines to
ensure they are free of any defects. This is really important for
exterior mounted items such as air lines and air shocks.
