ABSTRACT:
A vehicle suspension system incorporating an air spring for installation on a vehicle that already has a leaf spring suspension system. The air spring suspension system is supported at an end of the leaf spring assembly and it has a spring seat connected to a shackle that is connected to an end of the leaf spring assembly. A transverse bolster rail allows the air spring assembly to have a wide base mount laterally outboard of the vehicle chassis and the leaf spring suspension. A cross radius rod prevents transverse movements of the axle. A sway bar connected between the left and right side air spring suspension assemblies rigidizes and stabilizes the suspension system.
