An air spring is configured for use in connection with a motor vehicle. The air spring includes a first end cap. The first end cap is configured to attach to a first vehicle component. The air spring also includes a piston member. The piston member is configured to attach to a second vehicle component. The piston member is movable toward and away from the first end cap in an axial direction during use. The air spring also includes an air sleeve that is coupled to the first end cap at a first end by use of a first crimp ring and to the piston member at a second end by use of a second crimp ring to form a chamber configured to receive pressurized air. The air spring further includes a transition collar that is configured to placed radially outward from either the first or second crimp ring. The transition collar includes a sloped or tapered exterior surface that allows a portion of the air sleeve to engage and roller over the exterior surface of the transition collar to reduce wear to the air sleeve.
