Problem: My vehicle is sagging
An (air) suspension system could well be the solution! The original suspension of your vehicle cannot bear the weight, which causes sagging and there is little or no spring travel. This can lead to unsafe situations. Or: Your current suspension system is not ideal 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 problem commonly occurs with the following:
Firstly: Is your vehicle sagging at the front or rear axle?
It is important to know whether your vehicle is sagging at the front or rear axle. These are different problems for which there are different potential solutions. The differences are shown in the overview below.
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 is sagging at the front.
If your vehicle is loaded too heavily at the front, you may encounter the problem that your vehicle is no longer level. The front of the vehicle will therefore be lower than the rear.
Characteristics of the problem (visible, tangible or audible):
1. Visible, even at a standstill.
2. Tangible, while driving.
Possible consequences of the problem:
1. Your vehicle has little or no 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.
