An air suspension apparatus for protecting a vehicle suspension and/or chassis during transport or storage is described comprising an inflatable bladder including an air valve for selectably inflating and deflating the bladder; a rigid top plate coupled to a top portion of the bladder, a rigid bottom plate coupled to the bottom portion of the bladder; a pliable, shock-absorbing top pad coupled over the top plate for engaging the vehicle thereon; and a pliable, shock-absorbing bottom pad coupled under the bottom plate for resting upon a mounting surface on which the vehicle will be transported or stored. The bottom pad will be comprised of a sufficient thickness and include an elongated slot sufficiently wide to house a hose which can be coupled to an air supply source and an air bleeder valve to efficiently inflate and deflate the rubber bladder.
