It's a good question, but one that doesn't necessarily have a simple answer. There are two possibilities when it comes to upgrading a suspension system:

  1. expand/upgrade an existing system;
  2. upgrade an existing system with another (air) suspension system.

Is it possible to expand/upgrade an existing system?
Yes, it is possible in some situations to expand or upgrade a VB-Airsuspension system (depending on the kit). One example here is the VB-SemiAir basic system. This system can be upgraded to a system with a control panel and compressor or even a system with automatic level control.

Is it possible to upgrade an existing system with another (air) suspension system?
Yes, it is – depending on the existing system fitted on your vehicle. Already have a full air suspension system on the rear axle of your vehicle? In certain situations, it can be upgraded with a system on the front axle. Have semi air suspension on the rear axle of your vehicle? In this case it can be upgraded in certain situations, e.g. with reinforced coil springs on the front axle.

These are just a few examples showing that there is no one-size-fits-all answer. There are several factors to consider here, depending on the type of product and type of vehicle.

Wondering whether your existing system can be upgraded/expanded? Want to know which (air) suspension systems would be suitable for use with your existing system? Please contact one of our VB-Partners. They will be pleased to advise you on your specific needs.

Return of the international aftersales meeting this year!

In addition to our annual international sales meeting, we are delighted to report that, as of 2023, the international aftersales meeting has become another fixture in the calendar!

We have updated our brochures!

We're already through October and the end of the year is in sight. Before you know it, we'll be settling in for those chilly evenings again: lighting the stove, putting our feet up and getting the tablet out while relaxing on the sofa.

We were keen to celebrate a special moment with Martin!

Today, 20 October, was officially our colleague Martin Uffink's last day of work and marked the start of his retirement. He chose not to work up to the very last minute: with some hours saved up and annual leave owed, his last day at VB-Airsuspension was actually back in August –on Thursday 22nd, to be precise.
