ABSTRACT:
A vehicle suspension system augmenter includes one or more selectively actuatable hydraulic jacks positioned to elevate the frame of a vehicle with respect to its suspension system on at least one side in order to achieve a leveling function of the frame when the vehicle is on uneven terrain. The system contemplates appropriate brackets and mounting devices to enable the system to be applied during the original construction of the vehicle, or as an after-market item, and further contemplates employing fluid pressure systems already embodied in the vehicle or as auxiliary items. The fluid pressure system may be activated by the operator from the driver station and when in a non-use configuration, the hydraulic jacks are totally disconnected from at least one of the frame or suspension elements, whichever is appropriate.
