How Air Suspension Systems Work — A Plain-English Guide

The basics

An air suspension system replaces a steel coil or leaf spring with a rubber-and-fabric air bellow that contains compressed air at 5-10 bar.

Why it matters for trucks

  • Constant ride height regardless of load
  • Better cargo protection (lower vibration)
  • Adjustable damping
