Is it possible to combine air springs with other lowering components?
Air springs are physically compatible with dropped spindles, and are commonly used in conjunction with dropped spindles. By definition, air springs are a direct replacement for coils. Most air suspension manufacturers design their systems to ride at a height that is consistent with the OEM spring height…. therefore, when driving, the vehicle assumes a typical “dropped spindle” attitude. However, air suspensions take advantage of the fact that you can reduce height, beyond that offered by the spindle, as a function of deflating the air spring, when you are posing. Which brings up a very important point…. although air springs allow for the vehicle to be lowered, they are not intended for lowering the vehicle on-the-fly, or for operating the vehicle in an attitude other than that which is required to maintain proper alignment when the vehicle is in motion.
