Are you a gearhead looking to customize your car to match your specific performance preferences? If so, you've probably heard about air suspension kits. But what exactly are they? Let's take a look and find out.

Air Suspension Kit Basics

AirSuspensionReplacementPartsIn simple terms, air suspension kits allow you to convert older vehicles with non-air suspension systems into modern air suspension systems. These kits come with everything you need, including air springs, air lines, fittings, brackets, and mounting hardware. The best part? Installing them is a breeze and can be done in just two hours. While these kits are designed for do-it-yourself enthusiasts, professional auto shops like Strutmasters are also available to help with the installation.

Air Suspension Kit Applications

Air suspension kits have a wide range of applications, but two of the most common are enhancing towing capabilities and improving performance stance.

  • Towing and Hauling Applications
    If you've ever towed or hauled heavy loads with a truck, you know that it can take a toll on its suspension system. The back end of the vehicle tends to sag, resulting in poor handling and performance issues. Luckily, air suspension kits can solve this problem. By installing air springs, the back of your vehicle can be lifted to compensate for the additional weight. This ensures a smooth and level ride while towing or hauling.

    Some air suspension kits even come with adjustable air springs, allowing you to fine-tune the system based on different cargo weights. With just a push of a button, you can raise or lower the body of your vehicle, ensuring optimal performance in any driving conditions. Plus, installing an air suspension kit can add extra towing capacity to your truck.
  • Performance Applications
    Air suspension kits are not just limited to trucks. They can also be used to enhance the performance and adjust the stance of smaller vehicles. Most kits lower the car, not only improving its overall appearance but also enhancing handling and stability. Some kits even offer adjustable springs, allowing you to customize the stance of your vehicle by inflating or deflating the springs as needed. Deflating the springs will lower the car, boosting performance and style.

    On the other hand, inflating the springs lifts the car, helping you avoid obstacles on the road and preventing bottoming out. These performance kits are also available for trucks, providing improved handling and stability while hauling cargo by bringing the body down to eliminate bottoming out.
