An air spring assembly includes a piston configured to couple to a suspension component, a top cap configured to couple to a vehicle frame, and a hollow guide tube having a first end coupled to the top cap and a second end provided with an aperture to the hollow. The piston passes through the aperture and is disposed at least partially within the guide tube. The assembly also includes a diaphragm disposed at least partially within the guide tube, disposed between and attached to the piston and the top cap. The assembly further includes a seal member having an outboard portion coupled to the guide tube proximate the second end, an inboard portion coupled to the outer periphery of the piston, and a membrane extending between the outboard portion and the inboard portion. The membrane defines a rolling lobe disposed between the guide tube and the piston.
