An air compressor is the engine of your air suspension system, pulling in atmospheric air and pressurizing it for storage in your air tank so you can raise and lower your ride at the push of a button. Air Ride Direct carries trusted Viair compressors alongside our own house-brand ARD units, available as single compressors or as matched two- and three-compressor kits for faster fill times and quicker on-the-fly adjustments. Duty cycle, max pressure rating, and amperage draw all matter here: a compressor that’s undersized for your tank capacity and bag volume will run constantly and wear out fast, while a properly matched setup delivers quick, quiet, dependable air on tap. Compressor warranties vary by manufacturer, and we offer wholesale bulk pricing for shops and installers ordering multiple units.
Installation notes: Most compressors mount with a simple bracket, but tight engine bays or trunk-mounted setups sometimes call for a fabricated mounting plate, drilling holes into the frame or floor, and running wiring through drilled grommeted pass-throughs. Plan your mounting location before you start drilling to keep the compressor accessible for future service.
