What You Need in an Air Bag Compressor

What do you need in an air bag compressor? This is a crucial question, but at the same time, it’s a simple answer. You need the same as you need in the rest of your air suspension kit – and ideally throughout your vehicle: quality. An air suspension compressor is a vital part of the equipment that can make such a difference to the ride. Comfort is all part of a great car. Sure, it has to look good and perform well, but it’s got to be a pleasure to drive and ride in too. That means using top-quality parts and accessories.

The Function of an Air Compressor for Air Suspension

For the benefit of any newbies who are looking at this for the first time, here is a very basic summary of what goes on here. Because air bag suspension uses special bags full of air to absorb the impact of bumps and road surface irregularities, something has to compress the air to fill the bags to the required pressure. That is what the compressor does. It’s the same idea as inflating tires at the auto shop, except in that situation because you’re dealing with big, thick, tough rubber, you need a beast of a compressor.

At the other end of the scale, blowing up balloons for a kids’ party requires either an adult with a lot of lung power (and a red face) or a little compressor.

Somewhere in between comes the kind of air compressor for air suspension we’re talking about here. It has to be top quality because there is safety as well as comfort at stake.

Air suspension is sweeping the world right now, and the reason is that it makes traditional coil spring suspension look like a dinosaur. What the coil had going for it was simplicity, but its days are numbered, just like winding windows eventually became history once the electric ones had proven themselves.

With any new development, though, there are early adopters, who take it at face value, and there are those who wait for the idea to prove its worth and reliability. The high-quality components we deal in are blazing a trail in the US. Our kits compose top-of-the-range airbags, muscular, efficient air bag compressors, and all the other parts including gauges and gauge panels. Quality from start to finish, high performance and a reassuring level of reliability
