You’ll feel a big, positive difference whether wheeling or hauling in your Chevy Silverado after installing 2007-2017 air ride suspension parts, which use the simple but effective mechanism of air pressure to boost your truck’s carrying capacity. Many can add 2.5 tons (5,000 lbs) of load capability to your pickup, preventing rear squat or sag even when there’s a tremendous weight towards to back. Air ride suspension accessories also include air systems that let you fine-tune the pressure to get just the lift you need – which also serves as a good reminder that these high quality parts can be deflated when not in use so that you get the stock suspension feel. Several different companies make professional grade air ride kits, which include everything you need to install these components – and what’s more, a lot of them are made in the USA, too.

Understanding Chevy Silverado Air Suspension Kits
Chevy Silverado air suspension kits may sound complicated at first, but they do the same job as springs – just with air. It all works by using a compressor that fills air bags with pressurized air to adjust the suspension. The compressor is connected to your Silverado’s electrical system, along with sensors that determine how much air needs to be in the air bags. What makes this system unique is that it can automatically adjust to uneven terrain, weight, or bumps in the road. When it comes to installing a new air suspension there are a few parts you need to know about including air bags, airlines, the compressor, wires to connect the compressor, and control modules. To install this system you'll need to place the air bags in specific areas under your truck, connect the airlines, and wire the compressor to your Silverado’s electrical circuit. While many of these kits are designed for the average DIYer, it may be best to work with a professional, especially if you don't have much experience with suspension parts or electrical wiring.
Benefits of Chevy Silverado Air Suspension Kits
The benefits of an air bag suspension kit for your Chevy Silverado 1500 speak for themselves, but it's important to have a rough idea of what they might be before you commit. Right away, you'll find that air suspension kits make it feel like your truck is driving on a cloud. Whether you’re at the job site or driving on dirt roads, your suspension will always feel smooth, so you can say goodbye to feeling every crack or bump in the road. Air suspensions are also great for off-roading. With an air suspension lift kit, for example, you can manually adjust the height of your truck to make sure you have the right amount of ground clearance for uneven terrain. Air suspension kits also place less stress on the rest of your suspension because there's less vibration compared to springs.
