Chevy Silverado 3500 Air Suspension Kits are premium aftermarket car parts that guarantee a smooth ride while maintaining the truck's hauling capacity. These kits fit Chevy Silverado 3500 models with 6.0L V8, 6.6L V8, and 6.6L V8 Duramax engines, providing a comfortable driving experience even when hauling heavy loads. The air suspension kit replaces the original springs with an airbag, and an onboard compressor controls the airflow. The air spring enhances the vehicle's load-carrying capacity by evenly distributing weight across all gears, reducing sag, and preventing bottoming out. Dedicated Chevy Silverado fans can also add performance upgrades, such as cold-air intake systems, performance exhaust systems, and engine tuners. Upgrading these parts can significantly increase horsepower and improve throttle response. A cold-air intake system replaces the standard air intake system, which restricts airflow, with a more efficient one that increases airflow and improves engine sound. Performance exhaust systems reduce engine restriction, resulting in increased horsepower, torque, and fuel efficiency. On the other hand, engine tuners optimize engine performance by adjusting settings such as fuel injection, ignition timing, and throttle response. Investing in Chevy Silverado 3500 Air Suspension Kits and related performance upgrades will seriously enhance both the truck's off-road capabilities and on-road comfort, ensuring that you get the most out of your vehicle.
What Is a Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Air Suspension?
The air suspension system performs the same function as a shock and strut system with the main difference being that they use air instead. You'll find that the suspension kit will come with flexible rubber bags that fill with compressed air. This compressed air comes from an electric compressor that connects to your truck’s power system, and air flows in and out of the bags based on input from the road. Most air suspension systems have sensors to control the amount of air that flows into and out of the bags based on feedback from the road. This keeps all four wheels in contact with the ground when possible, which makes for a smoother ride.
Benefits of a Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Air Suspension
A Chevy 3500 Dually air ride kit comes with several benefits that go beyond making your truck look awesome. The biggest benefit is that you can control your truck’s ride height. Essentially, you can determine if you want the truck to sit low to the ground or if you want to add a few inches to the ride height. This is great if you want your truck to look a certain way when parked, but you don't want to deal with excessive air drag on the highway. Another benefit of an air suspension is that they're great for towing. A Chevy 3500 air bag kit helps with towing because the perfect amount of air can be added to each bag to stabilize the vehicle and keep all four wheels in contact with the road. What's more, air suspensions can help with load leveling because you can inflate the rear suspension to prevent the sag that towing heavy loads can cause. This improves handling, reduces away, and even improves fuel economy. Also, air suspensions feel better than coilovers or your stock suspension. Since the level of air can change based on input from sensors you won't feel the impact of every little bump anymore. Plus, there's less vibration in the system because there are fewer metal parts bouncing around. You don't get to experience the benefits that a Chevy Silverado 3500 air suspension system brings to the table until you get it on your truck, and our sales techs are ready to help you make that happen.
