An air sprung wheel axle suspension comprises a carrying bracket, a trailing arm with a front end that is pivotally attached to the carrying bracket by a pivot bolt, and an air spring attached to the vehicle chassis and supporting a rear end of the trailing arm. The suspension furthermore comprises an axle lift including a lever pivotally suspended from the carrying bracket. The lever has a first lever portion and a second lever portion. The suspension including furthermore an actuator attached to an actuator support. The actuator operatively engages the first lever portion at a first engagement point defining a first lever arm relative to the pivot axis. The trailing arm operatively engages the second lever portion at a second engagement point defining a second lever arm relative to the pivot axis. The lever is provided with a hanger element having an eyelet with which the lever is pivotally suspended from only one lateral plate of the carrying bracket such that said pivot axis and said bolt axis coincide. The first and second lever portion are aligned such that the first engagement point and the second engagement point, seen from above, are located on a straight line that diagonally crosses the pivot axis. The actuator has a centre axis that intersects the longitudinal centre axis of the first lever portion.
