Air shocks, also known as air shock absorbers or pneumatic shocks, are a type of suspension component used in certain vehicles, particularly those with rear-wheel drive or heavy-duty applications. Air shocks combine the functions of both shock absorbers and air springs.
These shocks contain a chamber filled with compressed air, which can be adjusted to control the vehicle’s ride height and dampen shocks and vibrations from the road. By increasing or decreasing the air pressure within the shocks, drivers can fine-tune the suspension for improved ride quality, load-carrying capacity, or towing performance. Air shocks are commonly used in trucks, SUVs, and vehicles that require versatility and adjustability in their suspension systems.
