What are the different types of air springs?

Air springs come in various shapes and sizes made of heavy-duty rubber or polyurethane. They suit vehicles with leaf/axle, coil spring, and full coil or strut suspension systems. They eliminate sagging when towing or carrying uneven loads and enable fully adjustable heights.

Do I need air springs?

If your vehicle sags due to towing or uneven loads, air springs provide adjustable levelling control, improved braking, safer load carrying, enhanced steering and handling, bottoming-out prevention, superior ride quality, and reduced tyre wear.

Do I need new suspension to accommodate air springs?

If existing springs or shocks show wear from constant load carrying, consult a specialist before installation. Worn components cause air springs to overwork. For newer vehicles with stock suspension, installation is viable if operated correctly.

Do air springs affect 4WD articulation?

Properly inflated air springs restore level ride height, regaining lost suspension travel. Excessive pressure may limit downward travel beyond standard heights.

Will air springs cause chassis damage?

No. Only overloading and improper operation cause chassis damage. Air springs install where manufacturers anticipate bump stop impact loads.

Do air springs increase GVM?

No. Air springs function as suspension assistance, not weight additions. Never exceed manufacturer-specified weight ratings.

Do air springs increase tow ball weight?

No. Air springs do not increase stated weight ratings for GVM, gross combined mass, individual axles, or tow ball loads.
