Buying an Air Lift suspension kit isn’t like buying any old accessory for your car. There’s a ton of considerations to keep in mind, and because of that, the process can get a little confusing. Fortunately, Strutmasters can make things easier with our guide to buying an Air Lift suspension kit.

Consider Your Performance Needs

Anyone interested in purchasing a suspension kit first needs to consider their performance needs. There are many kinds of Air Lift suspension kits designed for different drivers and their specific needs. For example, there are kits made especially for towing. These can keep trucks and SUVs level when towing and hauling to prevent rear-end sagging and bottoming out. There are also Air Lift kits to simply adjust the ride height to improve overall performance.

Find a Kit with the Right High-Quality Parts

Most Air Lift suspension kits come with an air bag, struts, and mounting equipment. Every one of these air suspension parts will help your vehicle achieve the smooth performance you want. However, not all parts are created equally. Each part will provide a specific performance benefit, so make sure that you look for a kit that caters to your needs. But regardless of your driving preferences, you’ll want to look for a kit that can withstand excessive amounts of wear and tear. In other words, you should look for kits that have high-quality parts. Durable parts are known to be more reliable and long lasting, so you won’t need to spend excessive amounts of money by constantly getting them repaired or replaced.

Look for a Dependable Warranty

In addition to high-quality parts, you want to consider an Air Lift suspension kit with a dependable warranty. Purchasing a kit with a warranty will provide great peace of mind. If any part in the Air Lift suspension kit you purchase suddenly breaks down due to a manufacturing defect, a warranty can cover it so you don’t have to worry about spending too much on repairs or replacement. Best of all, most Air Lift suspension kits come with a lifetime warranty.

Adding Extra Air Suspension Products

Most Air Lift suspension kits come with a compressor system that inflates and deflates the bags as needed to adjust the ride height. However, some may want to replace the manual compressor system with something more convenient. In this situation, you’ll want to purchase a kit that allows for some customization. For example, those looking to install an on-board compressor need to find a kit with all of the parts needed to connect the air suspension to the new compressor.

Contact a Suspension Expert

To find out if the Air Lift kit you want supports on-board compressors or other additional air suspension parts, talk to a suspension expert. Buying an Air Lift suspension kit doesn’t have to be difficult, so consult the guide above to help you find the right Air Lift suspension kit for your specific needs.
