Gas spring and gas damper assemblies can include a gas spring that includes a flexible spring member, a first end member and a second end member that together at least partially define a spring chamber. A gas damper can include a first damper element and a second damper element that are telescopically engaged with one another for reciprocal motion. A releasable axial-locking assembly can be operatively connected between the first and second damper elements that is capable of operating in both locked and released conditions. Gas damper assemblies, suspension systems and methods of manufacture are also included.
