Air suspension systems work by using an air compressor to fill a set of air bags with compressed air. The air bags are then used to support the weight of the vehicle. The amount of air in the air bags can be adjusted to change the ride height of the vehicle.
Air suspension systems offer several advantages over traditional suspension systems. Air suspension systems are more comfortable, because they can absorb impacts more effectively. Air suspension systems are also more stable, because they can help to keep the tires in contact with the road. Additionally, air suspension systems can be used to level the vehicle, which can be useful when loading or unloading heavy items.
Air suspension systems also have some disadvantages. Air suspension systems are more expensive than traditional suspension systems. Additionally, air suspension systems require regular maintenance, including checking the air pressure and replacing the air bags.
