A system that employs air springs instead of traditional steel springs to provide support and damping for a vehicle’s chassis. Typically found as an aftermarket upgrade, this mechanism replaces the factory suspension components on a pickup truck, allowing for adjustable ride height and improved ride quality compared to conventional setups.
Implementing such a system on a full-size truck offers enhanced load-carrying capability and the ability to maintain a level ride height, regardless of payload. This is beneficial for towing and hauling heavy loads, preventing sagging and improving handling. Historically, these systems were primarily found on luxury vehicles, but their adaptation to trucks reflects a growing demand for improved ride comfort and performance in the pickup segment.
