If you’re a serious towing enthusiast, you probably already know the reasons why you should add a truck air ride suspension system to your heavy-duty truck: a quality truck air suspension system helps by cushioning a bumpy ride, leveling your vehicle, reducing wheel hopping, limiting trailer bucking and adding stability during braking. And, an air ride suspension system helps you protect your investment in your heavy-duty truck by preventing the harsh wear and tear caused by heavy towing. Adjustable “helper” springs. This type of system is generally comprised of an add-on helper spring that aids in leveling the truck and reducing vehicle bounce, dip, or bottoming out when hauling a heavy load or towing. The air springs can be adjusted, often with a service station air hose, to the truck’s load condition for more control and leveling support.

You would need new shocks, and or struts if you are currently experiencing one or more of the indications to follow. Worn out, damaged, or leaking. Leaking is the easiest to determine, this is by basically checking for decrease in the fluid level in the reservoir. If the reservoir is not full, look for oil, or wetness on the shocks and struts. While you are at it, check for apparent broken mounts, and dented housing.
