1. A suspension system comprising:
a top mount;
a bottom mount;
a rigid housing;
an air spring including a pressurized cavity containing pressurized gas that transfers a force of a first load path between the top mount and the bottom mount; and
a linear actuator that transfers a force of a second load path between the top mount and the bottom mount in parallel to the first load path,
wherein the pressurized cavity includes an upper chamber and a lower chamber, and wherein the pressurized gas flows between the upper chamber and the lower chamber around the linear actuator.
