Ride Control Kit

The Ride Control Kit (Part No. 59501) is a rear-mounted air spring suspension system engineered to manage vehicle load and ride height dynamically. Designed for multiple vehicle applications, this air suspension kit combines airbags, mounting brackets, and pneumatic lines into a complete installation package that addresses the core challenge of heavy payload management—maintaining a level ride and predictable handling regardless of cargo weight.

The kit delivers a 2000 lb weight capacity per axle, sufficient for typical truck bed loads, trailer towing, or commercial hauling scenarios. Black powder-coated steel brackets provide corrosion resistance in varied climates and maintain structural integrity under sustained load cycles. The modular airbag and line design accommodates retrofit installation on diverse chassis, reducing fabrication time and compatibility issues. Pneumatic control allows real-time suspension stiffness adjustment—firmer under load, softer when unloaded—resulting in improved tire contact and reduced body roll during cornering.

This suspension upgrade serves fleet operators, heavy-use truck owners, and off-road enthusiasts who experience variable payload demands. Commercial contractors benefit from consistent bed handling across empty and fully laden trips. Trailer-towing vehicles gain reduced sag and improved brake balance. Off-road users appreciate the ability to raise ride height when terrain demands it, then lower for highway stability. The kit eliminates the sagging rear-end geometry that reduces visibility, increases wear on frame components, and compromises braking performance under asymmetrical load.

Air spring kits represent a practical alternative to leaf spring upgrades when load control and ride comfort are priorities. Unlike passive spring systems, pneumatic suspension automatically compensates for weight changes, extending component lifespan and reducing maintenance costs associated with worn bushings and premature spring sagging.
