Wish: Vehicle requires greater ground clearance
An (air) suspension system could well be the solution! If your vehicle needs greater ground clearance, this is often because there is little or no spring travel. This can lead to unsafe situations or damage to the underside of your vehicle. Or: Your current suspension system is not optimised for the current condition, application or use of your vehicle.
By upgrading your vehicle with an (air) suspension system, you can compensate for the deficiency in your current suspension system and return your vehicle 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:
Does your vehicle need greater ground clearance permanently or temporarily?
If your vehicle hits the ground, that's a problem. This can cause annoying damage to the underside of your vehicle. In this case, you want more ground clearance. However: Do you want the ground clearance permanently or temporarily? Thanks to our extensive product range, we can meet both wishes. In the first case, you could opt for auxiliary and reinforced springs, and in the second case for one of our (auxiliary) air suspension systems.
How is that possible? Probably unlike during the installation of your current suspension system, our (air) suspension systems (from our VB-Partners) are recommended based on the current condition, application and use of your vehicle.
My vehicle requires greater ground clearance
If your vehicle requires greater ground clearance, you may encounter a problem when this is not the case. Your vehicle has insufficient ground clearance, which may cause damage to the underside of your vehicle.
Characteristics of the problem (visible, tangible or audible):
1. Visible, your vehicle is too low.
2. Tangible, when driving in certain situations.
3. Audible, you hear your vehicle making contact with the road surface.
Possible consequences of the problem:
1. Your vehicle has too little spring travel, at the expense of your comfort.
2. Your vehicle (including its occupants and contents) will be subjected to heavy wear and tear, at the expense of its durability.
3. Your vehicle reacts differently than expected, at the expense of your safety.
4. Your vehicle is too low, you are causing damage to the underside of your vehicle.
