At California SuperTrucks, Inc (CST) it is not just about designing and manufacturing a quality suspension product. The driving force of the CST team is its desire to bring innovative ideas that extend beyond the standards of any suspension lift. With this in mind Chris Robinson, president and owner of California Supertrucks Inc., has been designing, building, and driving off road race trucks, as well as running off road fabrication shops for the past 30 years. With Chris’ vast knowledge and experience, he and his team of talented, dedicated, and focused individuals, strive to develop, fabricate and manufacture high end performance suspension systems. CST products include lift kits, suspension lifts, leveling kits, Steering Stabilizers, lift spindles, Add-A-Leafs, Leaf Springs, Pitman Arms, Steering Arms, Shackle lifts, lift blocks, driveshafts, coilovers, dirt series shocks, pro series shocks, remote reservoir shocks, dual shocks, piggy-back shocks, control arms, uniball control arms, Skid Plates, end links and tie rods.
These suspension systems are based on superior design and engineering, and utilize the strongest and best built components available. You will find CST suspension systems include an extensive array of fasteners, brackets, bushings, bump stops, and spacers which are used to assemble the kit components into a solid, durable performance lift system. CST could cut corners, and cost by leaving out some or all of this critical installation hardware, but that is not California SuperTrucks style. Every CST suspension includes precisely what you will need to achieve proper and safe installation. The fasteners are grade 8 or stronger, and are zinc or gold irradiate plated for corrosion resistance. When upper control arms are used, greasable urethane bushings are used for tight, responsive suspension action. Urethane droop and/or bump stop limiters are used in most applications to allow full suspension travel without contact between components. Using a CST Performance Suspension system will help you understand the belief that fine tuning or upgrading a suspension can be an entertaining and worthwhile endeavor. Accesspeed is proud to offer CST Performance Suspension products to our customers. With our lowest price match guarantee, you will always find the best combination of price and selection at Accesspeed.

Air Suspension, Air Bags and Compressors
What is air suspension?
Air suspension is a style of vehicle suspension that incorporates an electric compressor that pumps air into flexible bellows (air bags) to a pressure that allows your vehicle to behave like it has springs. There are two basic types of air suspension. The first, which is most popular, is an air bag kit that does not include shocks, struts or integrated coil-overs. The second is an coil-over system with air bags integrated onto the top of the struts/shocks.
How does air suspension work?
Air suspension relies on air bags that essentially work like balloons that create a suspended barrier between your frame and suspension components. The adjustability makes this type of suspension popular.
Is air suspension good for daily driving?
Yes. In fact, many late model vehicles incorporate air suspension systems from the factory, as it can greatly improve the ride of the vehicle and driver comfort.
How long do air suspension bags last?
While each manufacturer has different specs and claims based on usage, Accesspeed customers have run their air bags up to 12 years. Most of the replacements we have seen have occurred from 85,000-130,000 miles. Keep in mind, some people only use their bags when hauling or towing, while others use theirs 24/7 in daily drivers.
Should I put air bags on my vehicle to increase payload and towing capacity?
NO! Adding air bags will NOT increase your payload or towing capacity. No aftermarket air suspension system on the market allows higher payloads or towing capacities. Your vehicle is rated at the factory, and specifications for payload, tow capacity and GCWR are set at a specific manufacturer-rated capacity.
Do airbags make it ride smoother?
This answer depends on your settings. Using airbags will allow you some degree of customization. For example, lower air pressure will be a softer, smoother ride. Increasing air pressure will give you better road feel and steering input, but with a stiffer ride.
