HELPER AIR SPRING KITS AND INSTALLATION GUIDES

Maximize stability, ride quality, and towing

Helper air spring kits are designed to maximize a vehicle's stability, ride quality and brake effectiveness under safe load/towing capacities. AccuAir helper air springs provide load bearing support through the use of air pressure that can be adjusted for different load capacities.

The air springs enhance the ride by reducing inner-leaf friction. It helps steering control while maintaining braking effectiveness through weight shift events. It softens contact between the axle and the frame in order to reduce a bottoming out event.

Air Helper Springs

Upgrade your ride with air helper springs for ultimate comfort, stability, and load support—perfect for any journey, no matter the weight!

  • Safely maximizes OEM-specified load capacity
  • Restores original suspension geometry and eliminates "sag"
  • Increases road visibility for the driver
  • Softens contact between the axle and frame to reduce a bottoming out event
  • Improve steering control under load

What Are Helper Springs?

Load-assist helper springs are heavy-duty air springs meant to help alleviate common issues found with traditional coil or leaf spring suspensions.

  • Helps reduce inner-lear friction
  • Helps eliminate squat, trailer sway, and bounce
  • On-board air compressor compatible

Helper Air Spring Kit Installation Guides

Helper Air Spring Kits and Installation Guides

Air helper springs, also known as air suspension, air bags, or air lift kits are components in a vehicle's suspension system that help to support the weight of the vehicle and improve its ride quality. They are typically made of rubber or polyurethane and are filled with air, which can be adjusted to suit different driving conditions or loads.

Here’s what they do:

  1. Load Support: Air helper springs help to maintain proper ride height and level the vehicle when carrying heavy loads. This prevents sagging and ensures that the vehicle's weight is evenly distributed across all wheels, improving handling and safety.

  2. Improved Ride Comfort: By adjusting the air pressure, these springs can absorb shocks and vibrations from the road, providing a smoother ride, especially on rough terrain or when the vehicle is heavily loaded.

  3. Reduced Wear and Tear: By helping to maintain proper suspension geometry, air helper springs reduce the strain on other suspension components like leaf springs, coils, and shock absorbers, extending their lifespan.

  4. Enhanced Stability: They improve vehicle stability by reducing body roll during cornering, especially in top-heavy vehicles like trucks, RVs, and vans.

  5. Adjustability: The air pressure in the springs can be adjusted to suit different driving conditions, loads, and preferences. For example, higher pressure can be used for heavy loads, while lower pressure can be used for a softer ride when the vehicle is lightly loaded.

Overall, air helper springs provide versatility and improved performance for vehicles that frequently carry varying loads or travel on diverse road conditions.
