Vehicle Suspension Guides & Help

Suspension Upgrades We've Installed & Tested

The right suspension upgrade depends on what your vehicle is doing now and what you're asking it to carry. Sagging under a trailer, excessive body roll, a rough ride, and needing more ground clearance aren't the same problem, and they don't always need the same solution.We install and test suspension upgrades on real trucks, SUVs, Jeeps, and tow vehicles so you can see how they fit, how they install, and what they actually change. With more than 75 years of helping neighbors, 35,000+ installations, and over 1 million photos and videos, we can help you find an upgrade that fits your vehicle and what you're trying to improve.If you're not sure which direction to go, talk with someone here who's worked with these systems and can help you choose before you buy.

What's the best suspension upgrade for towing?

It depends on what you're trying to improve. Air springs and other suspension enhancement products can add support when your vehicle sags under tongue weight or cargo, while anti-sway bars can help reduce body roll and improve handling. The right option depends on your vehicle's existing suspension, how much you're carrying, and whether your load changes from trip to trip.

Will suspension upgrades increase my towing capacity?

No. Suspension enhancement can help support a load and improve stability, but it doesn't increase your vehicle's rated towing or payload capacity. Always stay within the limits set by your vehicle manufacturer.

Should I choose air springs or another type of suspension enhancement?

Air springs give you adjustable support, which can be helpful when your loads change. Other suspension enhancement options add support without requiring you to monitor or adjust air pressure. The right choice depends on your vehicle, what you're carrying or towing, and how much adjustability you want.

What's the difference between shocks and springs?

Springs support your vehicle's weight and help determine ride height. Shocks control suspension movement to reduce bouncing and improve control. Replacing shocks doesn't provide the same load support as upgrading your springs or adding suspension enhancement.

Can I install suspension upgrades myself?

Many suspension upgrades can be installed at home, but difficulty varies by vehicle and product. Some installations require safely lifting the vehicle, removing suspension components, or drilling. Check the instructions and installation videos for your specific kit before getting started. If you'd rather have someone else handle the installation, use our installer locator to find a shop near you.

Will suspension upgrades affect ride quality?

They can. The effect depends on the type of upgrade and how your vehicle is loaded. Air springs let you adjust support as your load changes, shocks help control bounce, and anti-sway bars help reduce body roll. Some heavier-duty suspension upgrades can also change how your vehicle feels when it's unloaded.

How do I know which suspension upgrades fit my vehicle?

Suspension upgrades are often vehicle-specific. Your year, make, model, drivetrain, and whether you're upgrading the front or rear suspension can all affect fit. Start with your vehicle information, then check the fit details for the suspension upgrade you're considering.
