A lift option kit that allows the user to alter the vertical suspension lift of a vehicle.

Currently, some work vehicles and/or off-road vehicles come from the manufacturer lacking tow hooksor even a strong point on the rear bumper assembly and/or the chassis to install a tow hook. A non-limiting example of this sort of vehicle is the Toyota Tundra. It is highly desirable for such a vehicle to be able to be towed by another vehicle and/or have connection points for recovery from stuck in a natural hazard like mud or water. A novel and improved sway bar bushing bracket with a tow hook design is disclosed. In particular, the manufacturer-installed sway bar bushing bracket may be replaced with a reinforced sway bar bushing bracket with an integrated tow hook that may serve as a more robust sway bar bushing bracket, as well as providing a strong connection point with a tow hook.

A damper spring support includes: a first angle adjustment mechanism configured for being fixed to a vehicle body; a support base configured for supporting a damper spring; and a connection structure configured for detachably fixing the support base to different positions of the first angle adjustment mechanism. If the support base being fixed to different positions of the first angle adjustment mechanism, a damper spring support surface of the support base facing different directions. A vehicle axle having the same is also included.

The disclosure relates to a ride height adjustment system useful for self-adjusting casters on suspension systems of harvesters, such as self-propelled windrowers. The suspension system utilizes sensors and hydraulic actuators operably linked to each caster, the hydraulic actuators responding to a detected ride height of the harvester to adjust the position of the casters to achieve the preferred ride height.

A wheel alignment Camber adjuster for a motor vehicle suspension of a popular 2 bolt flange strut comprising a transverse slot which can be in either the top or bottom hole.

Into the slot tab spaces are placed enabling the securing bolt to be placed in set positions of offset. 2 tabs one end of slot or 2 tabs other end or one tab to fill slot on either side of the bolt allows 3 separate adjustment positions. The adjuster is installed by removing one of the 2 bolts that secure the wheel hub. Hub is then swung clear of hole and a drill bit location device is used to allow to drill and convert accurately the round hole into a transverse slot. Hub is then repositioned so bolt can be inserted in place along with the tabs in slot at the required Camber position then nut attached allowing bolt to be fully re-tightened.

A kit for converting a tandem arrangement into a single-wheel arrangement for a towed agricultural machine includes an adapter with an attachment flange and fastener holes formed in this flange for the attachment of the attachment flange to a machine frame of the towed agricultural machine, a supporting axle mount formed on the attachment flange, a single-wheel axle arranged on the attachment flange, and a wheel flange arranged on the single-wheel axle for attaching a wheel rim.

A multi-link suspension system that can be used to modify a MacPherson strut suspension system is described.

An air spring with damping characteristics for a suspension assembly of a heavy-duty vehicle includes a bellows and a piston. The bellows includes a bellows chamber. The bellows is attached to a main member of the heavy-duty vehicle and to the piston. The piston includes an open bottom that is sealingly closed by a disc attached to the open bottom. The piston and the disc define a piston chamber. The piston is mounted on the suspension assembly of the heavy-duty vehicle. The bellows chamber and the piston chamber are in fluid communication with each other via at least one opening, wherein airflow between the bellows chamber and the piston chamber provides damping to the suspension assembly of the heavy-duty vehicle.

An embodiment of the present invention discloses a device (100) for connecting a wheel to a vehicle (620) comprising: an input shaft (620) able to be kinematically connected to an engine of a vehicle and having a rotation axis (C); an oscillating support (120) able to be hinged to a vehicle frame (T) along a predetermined horizontal hinge axis (B) parallel to and distanced from the rotation axis (C) of the input shaft (620); an auxiliary shaft (125) rotatably associated to the oscillating support (120) according to a rotation axis (A) parallel to and distanced from the hinge axis (B); a wheel-bearing hub (110) rotatably associated to the oscillating support (120) according to a rotation axis (A) parallel to and distanced from the hinge axis (B); first transmission means (625) able to transmit the motion from the input shaft (620) to the auxiliary shaft (125); second transmission means (130) able to transmit the motion of the auxiliary shaft (125) to the wheel-bearing hub (110).

Devices, systems and methods for replacing a factory installed or similar air suspension controller in a vehicle with an augmentor, which sends correct status messages to the vehicle main computer when the air suspension is replaced with coil springs or shocks. The augmentor can includes a voltage regulator, an indicator and bus interface. At power on, the program initializes the microcontroller registers, timer registers, and control registers, then loop until an inquiry or command is received, then responds with status messages that are the same as the status messages sent by the original factory installed air suspension controller until power is removed.
