Air Lift Air Spring Benefits

Air Lift Air Springs Adjust to the Load

The major benefit of Air Lift air springs is that you can adjust air pressure to compensate for your load condition. This ensures that your load is balanced and level for better comfort and control. When your load increases, you just add air.

The chart below shows the differences in load conditions, and how a vehicle will ride with no helper springs, steel helper springs or rubber overload springs, and air springs.

No Helper Springs	Steel Helper Springs	With Air Springs
Even Light Loads Cause Factory Suspension to Sag	Steel Helper Springs give a Rough Ride with No Load or a Light Load	Air Springs provide a Comfortable Ride - Loaded or Unloaded
Heavy Loads Cause Extra Sag and Bottoming Out for Factory Suspensions	Steel Helper Springs still Sag with Heavy Load	Level and Stable Ride up to Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
Off-center Loads Cause Vehicle Lean & Poor Handling with Factory Suspension	Off-center Loads Cause Vehicle Lean & Poor Handling with Steel Helper Springs	Adjusted Side-to-Side & Front-to-Rear

A Level Ride is a Safer Ride

Air Lift Air springs will provide smoother control of your pickup, car, van, or RV. Handling problems caused by heavy or uneven loads can be quickly corrected by merely adding or subtracting air.

We carry air systems that are fully automatic, to maintain a level ride under any condition, or systems for easy driver control. Choose a system that adjusts both rear springs together for front-to-back control, or one that adjusts the springs individually for side-to-side and front-to-back leveling.

Air Springs are the Load & Towing Problem Solver

Put an end to these common loading, towing or worn suspension problems:

• Sag: Front-to-rear and side-to-side, Air Lift Air Springs keep your vehicle level. Proper weight distribution to all the tires improves steering, braking, and tire wear.
• Sway & Body Roll: Air Springs increase spring rate and vastly improve vehicle stability. Less roll and sway mean more passenger comfort and greater cargo hauling capacity.
• Bottoming Out: Air Lifts raise loaded or older vehicles back to normal ride height. By increasing suspension travel and spring rate, Air Lifts reduce wear and tear on suspensions and eliminate 'crashing' on bumps and dips.
• Headlight Aim: Only level and stable vehicles provide safe and proper headlight aiming. Air Lift air springs mean level vehicles for all load and road conditions.
• Trailer Sway: For balance, control and safer sway-free towing, trailer tongues and hitches must be properly aligned. Air Lifts permit precise vehicle height adjustment for exact alignment...no more trailer sway.
• Rough Ride: Uneven, washboard roads cause tire bounce, less road contact, and increase suspension wear. Air Lift air spring's "progressive" spring rate soaks up bumps, keping tires on the road for better handling and longer suspension and driveline life.
