Using an Air Suspension for Towing

The air suspension, sometimes called a pneumatic suspension or air bag suspension, has been around for a long time. Its first patented design came out in the early 1900s. Obviously, the design has advanced quite a lot since the early days, but the idea remains the same.

Your suspension is a hard-working system that supports your vehicle's weight, absorbs rough roads, and keeps your tires on the pavement -- or off the pavement if you happen to be riding the trails.

Another place where your suspension comes into play is towing. Towing is pretty rough on your suspension and can wear parts out faster than if you weren't towing. An air suspension is designed to take some of that pressure off your vehicle and aid in controlling it.

How Much Does It Cost to Lift a Truck?

Lift kits for trucks vary in cost depending on what type of lift kit it is, the type of truck, how big the lift is, and whether the lift is professionally installed. Truck lift kits consist primarily of body lifts and suspension lifts.

Sometimes leveling kits are included in the category of lifting a truck, but these kits simply remove the factory rake of a truck, which does provide a slightly lifted appearance.

On average, a suspension lift kit costs more than a body lift kit but body lifts are easier to install for the DIY truck owner.
