Can you use air lift while driving?

A compressor isn’t required, but it is convenient! An On-Board Air Compressor System allows you to inflate and deflate your air springs on-the-go. With our onboard compressor system, all adjustments are automatic and made with the touch of a button- all while driving!

What to do if there is no power to the air suspension pump?

If there is no power going to the air suspension compressor, check the air suspension fuse and relay. Here is a picture that shows no power to the air suspension pump. The next step would be to use a professional diagnostic scanner such as the iCarsoft MB II to check the fault codes for the Air Suspension Control Unit.

How does an air bag suspension system work?

An air bag suspension system serves the same purpose as a standard suspension system, however, instead of using metal springs and liquid filled shocks, it uses a system of inflatable air bags filled with compressed air to suspend the vehicle off the ground. One of the most important components of an air bag system is the compressor.

Can a air suspension system function without an air compressor?

The suspension system cannot function without it. If the compressor is failing to come on at all, then that is a sign that it has either failed or it is having an issue. The air compressor is what provides the air suspension system with compressed air required for it to function.

What causes a fault in the air suspension?

Most air suspension faults start with a tiny leak somewhere in the system. This results in the air system constantly losing air pressure causing the compressor to work harder, pumping more regularly to keep the suspension at the set height.

How does the Jeep Quadra-Lift air suspension work?

In short, the Jeep Quadra-Lift Air Suspension works like this. Rather than using traditional coil springs located at each wheel, like most vehicles do, the Quadra-Lift Air Suspension employs air springs. The air springs allow for the vehicle to be raised or lowered across a span of 4.1 inches (104 mm).
