Front and Rear Air Springs

The front and rear springs are essentially pneumatic cylinders that replace steel coil springs. The air filled springs (a small scale version of the air bags seen at the rear of tandem dirt haulers) allow the vehicle suspension height to be adjusted for all weight conditions. Air springs allow for reduction of spring rates to improve vehicle ride characteristics.
