How does the Auto Flex Air Ride Suspension compare to Air Assist Suspension?

Auto Flex Air Suspension is a complete air suspension similar to the technology found in transport trucks.  The air assist suspension is simply an airbag that fits on top of the spring which does not do anything for ride quality. An air assist overcompensates the ride and predicts the vehicle is full at all times as most do not have a leveling valve resulting in stiffer empty load rides and a more rigid experience so more bumps will be felt on the road.  The auto flex has a leveling valve to ensure optimal ride performance at all times whether empty or full and is an all-season suspension.  Auto Flex suspensions also reduce side to side sway when cornering.
