Suspension Enhancement for Smoother Ride on 2015 Honda Odyssey

Question

Question:

I am looking at 2015 Honda Odyssey but need smoother ride for cross country road trips. The model ex-l ride is too stiff. Are there products to smooth the ride and how effective are they? I realize this is a tough question. My current vehicle is a 2008 Chevrolet uplander with air shocks. The ride is quite comfortable for long trips.

I spoke with my contact at Air Lift and he said if you do not intend to tow or haul a trailer, using AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60815, which you reference, on your 2015 Honda Odyssey will actually make for a stiffer ride. These air helper springs are commonly used for hauling or towing and for keeping your Honda Odyssey at normal ride height.

My contact recommended a softer aftermarket coil spring. Unfortunately we do not carry them for your vehicle.

You can also go with a higher profile passenger tires (80, 75, 70 series) which will offer a smoother ride as well as longer wear.
