Abstract

A Retrofittable Air Suspension Brackets assembly comprises an air spring retained between an Upper Air Spring Mount and a Lower Air Spring Bracket. The Upper Air Spring Mount is attached to Upper Frame Brackets that are held in place by two U-Bolts, which also secure the Lower Air Spring Bracket and a Cradle Structure which limits movement of the vehicle frame member.

First claim

What I claim is:

1 . A rear air suspension bracket assembly device consisting of, an air spring, a lower air spring bracket, and upper air spring bracket, two U-Bolts, an upper air spring mount, two upper frame brackets and a cradle structure, where the lower air spring bracket is attached to a factory leaf spring, where the upper air spring bracket is attached to a vehicle frame, where the air spring is secured at an upper end to the upper air spring bracket, and where the air spring is secured at a lower end to the lower air spring bracket, where the two U-Bolts encircle the vehicle frame, and where the two U-Bolts are attached to both the cradle structure and the upper frame brackets by a plurality of nuts, where the upper air spring mount is attached to the upper frame brackets by a plurality of upper frame bots and upper frame nuts, where the cradle structure provides an amount of limitation to movement of the vehicle frame.

2 . An air suspension bracket assembly device comprising, an air spring, a lower air spring bracket, and upper air spring bracket, two U-Bolts, an upper air spring mount, two upper frame brackets and a cradle structure.

3 . The device of claim 2 , where the lower air spring bracket is attached to a factory leaf spring.

4 . The device of claim 2 , where the upper air spring bracket is attached to a vehicle frame.

5 . The device of claim 2 , where the air spring is secured at an upper end of the upper air spring bracket, and where the air spring is secured at a lower end of the lower air spring bracket.

6 . The device of claim 2 , where the two U-Bolts encircle the vehicle frame, and where the two U-Bolts are attached to both the cradle structure and the two upper frame brackets by a plurality of cradle nuts.

7 . The device of claim 6 , where the upper air spring mount is attached to the upper frame brackets by a plurality of upper frame bolts and upper frame nuts.

8 . The device of claim 7 , where the cradle structure provides an amount of limitation to movement along the vehicle frame.

9 . The device of claim 8 , where the vehicle frame has a front suspension section and a rear suspension section, and the air suspension bracket assembly attached to the rear suspension section.

10 . An air suspension bracket assembly device comprising, an air spring, a lower air spring bracket, and upper air spring bracket, two U-Bolts, an upper air spring mount, two upper frame brackets and a cradle structure.

11 . The device of claim 10 , where the lower air spring bracket is attached to a factory leaf spring.

12 . The device of claim 11 , where the upper air spring bracket is attached to a vehicle frame.

13 . The device of claim 12 , where the air spring is secured at an upper end of the upper air spring bracket, and where the air spring is secured at a lower end of the lower air spring bracket.

14 . The device of claim 13 , where the two U-Bolts encircle the vehicle frame, and where the two U-Bolts are attached to both the cradle structure and the upper frame brackets by a plurality of cradle nuts.

15 . The device of claim 14 , where the upper air spring mount is attached to the upper frame brackets by a plurality of upper frame bots and upper frame nuts.

16 . The device of claim 15 , where the cradle structure provides an amount of limitation to movement along the vehicle frame.

17 . The device of claim 16 , where the vehicle frame has a front suspension section and a rear suspension section, and the air suspension bracket assembly is attached to the rear suspension section.

18 . An air suspension bracket assembly device consisting of, an air spring, a lower air spring bracket, and upper air spring bracket, two U-Bolts, an upper air spring mount, two upper frame brackets and a cradle structure, where the lower air spring bracket is attached to a factory leaf spring, where the upper air spring bracket is attached to a rear suspension section of a vehicle frame.

19 . The device of claim 18 , where the air spring is secured at an upper end to the upper air spring bracket, and where the air spring is secured at a lower end to the lower air spring bracket, where the two U-Bolts encircle the vehicle frame, and where the two U-Bolts are attached to both the cradle structure and the upper frame brackets by a plurality of nuts.

20 . The device of claim 19 , where the upper air spring mount is attached to the upper frame brackets by a plurality of upper frame bolts and upper frame nuts, where the cradle structure provides an amount of limitation to movement along the vehicle frame.
