Air Suspension Components

What This Category Covers

Air suspension gives drivers control over ride height and load capacity that traditional coil springs cannot match, and this collection covers the core hardware, air springs, compressors, tanks, and complete kits, needed to build or maintain an air suspension system.

Load Support vs Full Replacement

Some products in this collection add load support alongside the factory suspension, while others fully replace the factory struts or shocks with an adjustable air system, so understanding which type of product is needed matters before ordering.

Air Springs and Helper Springs

Air Lift LoadLifter style helper springs bolt alongside the existing suspension on trucks and SUVs to add load support and prevent rear end sag when towing or hauling heavy loads.

Complete Air Suspension Kits

Full air suspension kits, including systems built for the Ford Bronco and various performance cars, replace the factory strut or shock assembly to provide adjustable ride height for daily driving, towing, or a lowered stance look.

Ford Bronco Air Suspension

Dedicated Ford Bronco air suspension systems and Bilstein bag conversion kits let Bronco owners, including Sasquatch package trucks, add adjustable ride height while keeping the factory shock mounting points intact.

Onboard Air Compressors and Systems

Onboard compressor systems from brands like Ridetech and Firestone power the air springs, letting the ride height adjust on the fly rather than requiring a separate air source. Self leveling systems automatically maintain ride height under changing loads.

Self Leveling Technology

Firestone Air-Rite Air Command self leveling kits automatically adjust air pressure to maintain a consistent ride height as load changes, which is useful for trucks and SUVs that regularly tow or haul varying weights.

Air Tanks and Storage

Air tanks store compressed air for the suspension system, reducing compressor cycling and providing a reserve of air for quicker ride height adjustments on both trucks and lowered performance builds.

Performance Car Air Suspension Kits

Air Lift Performance kits extend air suspension technology to sport sedans, coupes, and sports cars like the Chevy Camaro and Nissan GT-R, giving owners a daily drivable ride height with the ability to lower dramatically for shows or track days.

Remote and App Controlled Systems

Ridetech RidePro and Firestone Air Command systems offer remote and smartphone app control for adjusting ride height on the fly, which is common on both towing focused truck setups and stance oriented performance builds.

How to Choose the Correct Air Suspension Component

• Confirm the exact year, make, model, and drivetrain
• Determine whether a helper spring or a full air suspension kit is needed
• Check whether an onboard compressor is included or must be purchased separately
• Verify tank size against desired adjustment speed and compressor cycling
• Confirm self leveling compatibility if towing or hauling variable loads
• Check remote or app control availability if on the fly adjustment is desired
• Verify weight rating against the intended towing or hauling capacity
• Confirm whether the kit replaces the factory shock or supplements it
• Check compatibility with existing lift or lowering modifications
• Review installation complexity and whether professional installation is recommended

Common Questions

What is the difference between air helper springs and a full air suspension kit?

Air helper springs bolt alongside the existing suspension to add load support and prevent sag when towing or hauling. A full air suspension kit replaces the factory struts or shocks entirely for adjustable ride height and stance control.

Do I need an onboard compressor with my air suspension?

Most complete kits include or are compatible with onboard compressors for on the fly adjustments, with compact hard mount and portable options available depending on the application.

Is air suspension only for trucks?

No, air suspension is common on trucks and SUVs for towing support, but it is also popular on performance cars and sport sedans for adjustable stance and ride quality.

Does the Ford Bronco have a dedicated air suspension option?

Yes, dedicated Ford Bronco air suspension systems and bag conversion kits are available, including options for Sasquatch package trucks.

What does a self leveling air suspension system do?

A self leveling system automatically adjusts air pressure to maintain consistent ride height as cargo or trailer load changes.

Can air suspension be controlled from a phone?

Yes, several systems from Ridetech and Firestone offer app based remote control for ride height and pressure adjustments.

Are air tanks required for every air suspension kit?

Not always, but adding a tank reduces compressor cycling and provides a reserve of air for faster ride height changes.

Do air suspension kits work on lowered performance cars?

Yes, Air Lift Performance and similar kits are designed specifically for sport sedans, coupes, and sports cars seeking an adjustable low stance.

What weight capacity should I look for in a helper spring kit?

Match the helper spring weight rating to the intended towing or payload capacity of the truck to avoid under supporting the load.

How do I confirm the correct air suspension component for my vehicle?

Match the exact year, make, model, and drivetrain against the specific product listing before ordering.
