Air Ride Kits For Pickups, Trucks TRUCKS Miscellaneous 28-3-11 Air spring kit replaces rear leaf springs on 2003 2-WD Dodge Ram pickups with a pair of Firestone airbags. According to Kelderman, the four-link Air Ride suspension system improves ride quality and load-carrying capacity. The air springs mount on brackets engineered over the rear axles, and the system's air tank adds compressed air to the bags as needed. The bolt-on system includes an air compressor, air tank, and height-control valves.
Kits that include self-leveling options sell for $2,600.
The company also offers an air ride lift kit for 2003 4-WD Dodge 2500 and 3500 pickups. The factory leafs are replaced with a heavy duty four-link system that eliminates the wheel hop found with factory leaf springs. The bolt-on kit requires no cutting or drilling. A large 12-volt air compressor is included with the kit, as well as a pressure switch and air tank. In-cab controls are included that allow you to raise and lower the pickup with the push of a button.
Kits are available that allow the pickup to be lifted from stock height up to 10 in.
Dodge front lift kits replace the factory coils with a large, long travel high capacity airbag. The factory trailing arms are replaced with longer trailing arms to keep the axle in the correct location. Because they are on air, the kits allow the pickup to ride at different heights. For example, a 6-in. lift kit can go from raising the pickup 3 in. (no air in the bags) to almost 10 in. (air maxed out and shocks topped out). This allows you to travel in air ride comfort going down the road, and then raise your pickup another 3 to 4 in. while parked.
The kits are custom made for what you want to do. Chrome trailing arms, off-road racing shocks, and computerized ride control are popular options. The company also builds air ride kits for horse trailers, car trailers and RV's.
