DESCRIPTION

Air springs for driver’s seats ensure a more ergonomic and comfortable working situation, while at the same time helping to ward off driver fatigue or health impairment. Air suspension of the cab has a major impact on ride comfort. These air springs are designed as sleeve-type rolling lobe air springs and take the form of a two- or four-point suspension between the driver’s cab and the chassis frame.  

The weight of a truck, and thus the axle load, fluctuates greatly depending on the payload at any given moment. To meet the resulting suspension requirements, virtually all commercial vehicle manufacturers now employ air springs. In providing for level control, air springs also guarantee that the vehicle body maintains a constant road clearance. This, in turn, ensures safe driving regardless of the loading conditions. The vehicle body can also be raised or lowered by means of air springs actuated via optional auxiliary manual controls. This is of advantage in adjusting vehicle body height to the level of a ramp or in placing an interchangeable platform.   

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.
