Why Air Bag Suspension Installation Matters

Air bag suspension installation is vital for achieving superior driving comfort and vehicle performance.

When should I consider installing air bags on my vehicle?

You should consider adding air bags to your vehicle if you experience any of the following:

  • Excessive body roll or sway: This can happen when towing or carrying heavy loads.
  • Vehicle sags in the rear: This can happen when your vehicle is loaded.
  • Decreased steering precision or braking efficiency: This can happen due to uneven weight distribution.
  • Bottoming out on rough terrain: This can happen when driving over bumps or on rough terrain.
What kind of air bag suspension should I have installed?

Our professional team at Direct Offroad will be able to point you in the right direction, but when choosing an air bag suspension, you can consider things like:

  • Vehicle type: Kits are usually designed for specific vehicle makes and models. 
  • Intended use: Think about whether the kit is suited for off-road use, towing, or general driving. 
  • Quality: High-quality components may cost more but could be more durable and reliable. 
  • Warranty: Look for kits that offer a good warranty. 
  • Type of air spring: There are different types of air springs, including bellows-style and sleeve-style. Bellows-style air springs are typically larger and can handle heavier loads, while sleeve-style air springs are better for tight spots. 
How much pressure should I run in my airbag suspension?
  • Start with the vehicle level or slightly above. 
  • If the vehicle dives while braking, add air to the front air bags. 
  • If the vehicle bounces slow and deep, add air. 
  • If the vehicle "rocks and rolls", add air. 
  • Consider the load on the vehicle, as uneven loads may require uneven pressures. 
  • Don't exceed the vehicle manufacturer's weight ratings.
