Keep in mind installing a suspension conversion kit WILL get your vehicle's ride height restored and get you rolling again. But your vehicle likely has other parts and components that need to be replaced due to age and mileage. Driving around with a failing air suspension or similar active suspension system will actually speed up damage to the vehicle's OTHER suspension parts too.

Generally speaking, any suspension part or component that has a bushing (usually rubber or a synthetic rubber polymer) will wear due to mileage and age. These items include ball joints, tie rod ends, upper and lower control arms and sway bar end links. The exact parts vary, depending upon your vehicle's specific suspension design.

BOTTOM LINE: Suspension systems have regular maintenance items that need to be replaced -- just like you need to replace brake pads, tires and do oil changes. A suspension conversion kit is a great first step in getting your vehicle road worthy. We recommend you or your mechanic check the OTHER suspension components for wear and address these items as soon as your budget allows.
