The additional suspension (15) for an armored tracked vehicle chassis (2) has gas-filled cylinders for the track running wheels (9), working in parallel with the existing spring suspension (12). The cylinders contain pistons, in a single- or double-piston structure. The cylinders are filled with nitrogen or a nitrogen/oil mixture, with an adjustable cylinder pressure.
