Air sleeves and load leveling
Air sleeves are the flexible part of an air spring, so their condition sets how well the bags hold a load over time. They should be checked for abrasion, pinholes and bulging, especially where they rub the frame or axle bracket. A worn sleeve can lose pressure faster than it should, which shows up as a sagging rear end after the truck sits.
A jounce bumper inside the spring limits how far the suspension can compress, which protects the bag on hard hits. When replacing sleeves, consider whether the bumpers and mounting hardware are also due for replacement, since they often wear at similar rates. Keep the air system dry and free of debris before reconnecting lines.
- Look for abrasion where the sleeve rubs
- Watch for slow pressure loss overnight
- Replace worn bumpers when sleeves are changed
