Air Lift1000 Air Spring Kit – Fits 2009-2024 Ram 1500 – 60818

READ THIS REVIEW CAREFULLY! YOU WILL THANK ME FOR IT!I am working on a 2015 Ram Tradesman 4x4 with the C25 contractor package. It includes heavy duty suspension.Installing the airbags inside of the springs according to the instruction on page 4 is next to impossible. The instructions say to flatten the airbag and fold it up like a hotdog bun and slide it in through the bottom coil. I'm a big healthy guy and there is no way that stiff sucker is going through that coil. Mad Mountain Dean couldn't do it! In my opinion, the instructions are for the light weight airbag. At any rate the following is how we did it.Raise the truck by placing the jack under the differential. Place two jack stands under the frame just ahead of the lower control arm brackets, and lower the truck onto them. Now move the jack to the shock bracket, raise the axel a bit and remove the lower shock bolt and the lower sway bar support bolt. easy peasy. NOW lower the axel and the spring will come right out. Apply some baby powder to the air bag, and insert it into the spring. The plastic isolator strip on the top coil must be removed and discarded as the instructions on page 4 say. Put the top wafer that comes with the kit onto the airbag and push the bag to the bottom of the spring. Now, have the barb and tubing assembly made up, and screw the fitting onto the top of the airbag. Make sure that the fitting is properly seated. and tight. Finger tight ain't gonna do it. if it is not tight, as you position the tubing, it will come loose and you will have a leak. Place the wafer on the bag, and the upper spring cup onto the spring, and re-install the spring. Repeat for the other side. Rout the tubing to the tee. I used the tee that came with the Air pump/controller. the bag kit provides a flimsy nylon barb tee that requires tiny clamps. If you are working on the ground it is difficult to use the barb tee while the insert tee is a snap.Buy the air pump kit. It is excellent. it has a bluetooth remote and it constantly monitors the air pressure. filling the bags with a air hose is gonna be a disaster. 5lbs must be in the bags minimum. so when you want to lower the pressure, the controller lets the air pressure out to 5lbs. It's great, Im telling ya! I installed it under the rear seat rather than under the truck. There is no way I'm putting that baby out in the weather. The instructions say to avoid moisture! Well it rains OCCASIONALLY in Florida, and the humidity is always high.There is plenty of room under the rear seat on the passenger side.That's my story, and the completed system is awesome! Other than wasting time and aching hands trying to get a bag into the spring, the install is a piece of cake.Good Luck!

I bought these 1000HD coil bags with the airlift pump, I’ve done a total of six hours of hauling a 7400 pound camper with a ram 1500 these made a huge difference at only 20 psi I have zero squat that’s with a bed full of camping gear. So far zero leaks I do work industrial maintenance so I’m very familiar with pneumatic air lines you have to cut the lines as straight as possible or you will have a leak sooner or later if you aren’t comfortable doing with a blade just buy a air line cutting tool very cheap and easy to use it’ll cut it straight with ease. Note I will say it’ll change you’re ride a little bit feels more like a 2500 then a 1500 at the rear but it’s a win all day.

I bought a 2018 Ram 1500 last summer. We use it to pull a 7,000 lb travel trailer. Typically, when pulling the trailer, the truck bed is full of tools, firewood, extra propane tanks, the generator, etc. Additionally, my family is 5 plus a dog. I love our 1/2 ton Ram but it's weak spot is the rear coil springs. They make for a fantastic ride when commuting unloaded. But they are not meant for any serious work. The Air Lift 1000 bags correct this issue. They firm up the rear coil springs to prevent sagging and bottoming out. This makes for a safer and more comfortable (while loaded) ride. I run 5-10 lbs of air in the bags when the truck is unloaded, which does not impact my stock ride quality. To be clear, air bags DO NOT transfer weight. You need a proper Weight Distribution hitch for this. However, even with a properly adjusted WD hitch, my truck would still sag in the rear. These bags are the fix! They're inexpensive and relatively simple (though a little time consuming) to install.Air Lift's customer service is awesome. They really stand behind their product. I used and abused these bags last year. Somewhere in the system, I developed a slow leak over the winter. I emailed Air Lift because they have a lifetime warranty. More or less no questions asked and Air Lift sent me a brand new kit. What's nicer, is they sent me the new upgraded 1000HD bags. I offered to pay the difference in price, but they wouldn't take my money. The new bags are even nicer. They're stiffer for more leveling capacity and have a better method of connecting air lines to the bags.Removing the old bags was hard! But this is due to the quality of the product. I couldn't believe how thick and sturdy the red 1000 bags were! The black 1000HD bags are even thicker. I hope I never have to remove these lol.Bottom line, buy these bags (or the 1000HD bags). You won't regret it. It's a cheap and easy option that works well and is backed by a great warranty and customer service.
