How much does air suspension cost on a truck?

08 Apr.,2024

 

Air suspension is one of the most sought-after mods by car enthusiasts looking to adjust their suspension at the push of a button. With air suspension systems offering on-the-fly ride height adjustments, these kits are going to provide more functionality when compared to Coilover or spring suspension setups. They will also include more components, which means you can pay much more for an air suspension system. How much does an air suspension cost? Today, we break down the cost of an AccuAir suspension kit to give you a better idea of what you can expect to pay. 

Average Price Of An Air Bag Suspension Kit

The average price of an airbag suspension kit can cost anywhere between $1,000 up $5,000+ depending on your specific kit. Many factors will influence the overall cost of your system, such as:

  • Type Of Vehicle

  • Complete Kit Vs. Pieced Together Kit

  • Part Quality

  • DIY Install Vs. Professional Install

When pricing out your air suspension kit, there are ways to cut costs vs. buying a complete kit. You can also save money by installing the kit yourself if you feel confident enough with the installation. 

How Much Do Air Suspension Parts Cost?

Now that we have looked at how much a complete air suspension kit can cost let's look at how much each component costs.

Additional Upgrade Costs

When building an air suspension system, you can do a few additional upgrades to make your air suspension stand out and become easier to use. While these are not needed for a basic air suspension install, they are great for upgrading your system later down the road.

  • ECU Upgrades - 

  • Water Filters/Traps - 

  • Height Sensors - 

  • Pressure Sensors - 


Installation Costs

The most significant expense of an air suspension system can come from the installation costs if you choose to go with a professional install. While many car enthusiasts can get the job done by themselves, it is highly suggested to have your air suspension installed professionally. 

The average cost for an air suspension system can range from $500 to $2,000+, depending on your vehicle and location. For those simply having air suspension helper springs added to their truck, you can expect to be on the lower end of the cost spectrum. For those who need an entire front and rear retrofit, you can expect to pay upwards of $1,000-$3,000 for your installation.

Just take a look at this guide to find the answers to your most pressing questions and learn how to get started.

Average Price of an Air Bag Suspension Kit

Although they are precision engineered and made with the highest quality parts, air ride suspension bags are surprisingly affordable. Depending on your application, you can expect to pay anywhere from $300 to $700 for the kit itself.

Across all truck models, the kit comes with durable air springs made using one-piece aluminum anodized end caps, robust support wires, and two-ply rubber. They also feature powder-coated brackets and corrosion-resistant roll plates.

Cost of Optional Upgrades for Your Air Bag Suspension

If you want to take your air ride suspension to the next level, you can elect to add on upgrades, which can increase the cost of the kit.

The most popular add-ons include:

  • Paddle valve in-cab control kit: $135 to $510
  • Electrical in-cab control kit: $300 to $725
  • Air compressor: $200 to $715
  • Air tank (1/2 to 5 gallon): $45 to $275

If you prefer to get a premade onboard air kit, you can go with the ½ or 2 ½ gallon kits for $400 to $435. These combo kits come with the air tank, air compressor, and curly hose plus all the other accessories you need to hook it all up.

Potential Cost of Air Bag Suspension Installation

Beyond the kit and add-ons, you also have to cover the cost of the install unless you can do it yourself.

The overall installation price depends on a number of factors, such as:

  • Year, make, and model of your vehicle
  • Aftermarket parts on your build
  • Upgrades added to the kit
  • Shop labor rate in your area

Most shops take up to 10 hours to install a full air bag suspension kit, add-ons included. At a labor rate of around $100 - $125 per hour, you can expect the installer to charge you $1,000 - $1250 plus shop fees.
