Wish: My vehicle must be able to kneel/lower
A full air suspension system could well be the solution. If you want your vehicle to be able to kneel or lower, your current suspension system is not ideal for the current condition, application or use of your vehicle. Or: You want your suspension system to be adjustable.
By upgrading your vehicle with a full air suspension system, your vehicle's suspension system becomes adjustable, providing functionalities at a standstill, while in riding mode the vehicle returns – as desired – to the correct ride height to ensure it is level.
This is desirable, since having your vehicle level and at the correct ride height is ideal for safety and contributes to increased safety, increased comfort, increased stability and optimal driveability.
This wish is common with the following:
Kneeling or lowering, what is the difference?
When we talk about kneeling, we mean that the front axle of the vehicle is sagging. When we talk about lowering, we mean that the rear axle of the vehicle is sagging. To achieve this adjustable solution, you need air suspension.

When you choose full air suspension, you can not only kneel and/or lower, but you can also do the opposite: raise!
