DESCRIPTION
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.
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.
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.
