Air Lift 1000 HD Air Spring Kit for 2019-2026 Ram 1500-60828HD

We have a 35' travel trailer that we tow with a RAM 1500 v6. Tows fine but was dealing with a bit of squat. I researched these and found they had great reviews and figured for the price would give it a shot. Install was super easy ( follow the youtube videos for doing the hotdog bun method) and more time was taken getting setup with the jacks than anything else. I did the jacking by the hitch method and put jacks under the frame for safety. Took the wheels off and went at it. As mentioned i followed the hotdog bun method by taking the filler cap off and folding and ziptie together, then replaced the cap so it would hold shape. FYI, before starting, do as I did and let the bags and air line sit in the sun to soften up to make it easier to work with. They slipped right in, then I removed the air cap and cut the zip ties to allow to expand. I made sure in position and put the valve stem on - as mentioned in the directions DO NOT use any tools to tighten and just do finger tight. I ran the lines through the frame rail and also bought the aftermarket T made of metal versus the plastic one - cheap insurance. I drilled a whole near the license plate for the air filler. Total time was maybe 90min as I also took time to rotate my tires. Follow the directions to inflate to 5-7lbs and do an air leak check at all connections. First trip out was this past week and inflated to 45lbs it only squated 1.5in compared to closer to 5 without! Also, these aren't a lift system meaning when you inflate the bags your rear isn't going to lift up. It's more of a bump stop limiter. very impressed and since I lease the truck, i can remove them as needed - little more work as you have to follow the factory directions in removing the springs, but still not a huge deal.

Easy to install. And WAY BETTER THAN TIMBREN. Timbren beat you to death if you're bouncing on them. These allow a cushion. Soft or stiff it's your choice and the price is great. I had these on my last truck for several years and got a new truck and it was the first thing I added. The air easily adjusts the height/support, so it's super easy to level out a load, camper etc. And they are made well too. Installation instructions seemed harder than it was. I jacked up the rear end at the axle (let the tire hang), which spreads the spring. I DID NOT disconnect the shock. I took the cap off the airbag, stood on it to get the air out of it, replaced the cap and shoved the flat bag between the spacing. Be sure to stand it on the right end. Once in there, you're not getting it out without cutting it. Once it's in, uncap and it inflates to fill the spring. Then connect the hose w hard spacer to protect the valve and run your line to the back bumper. I was able to thread the tubing in the frame and bring it out to a T joint and drilled a hole next to my plate for the valve to inflate both bags at once. I really like this system. Perfect for hauling a camper or heavy loads.

I like to put a ATV in the bed of my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie, while I tow a 5x8 trailer with a second ATV. But I was having a ton of sag in the rear end of my truck. I bought these to install my self. I'm mechanically inclined but limited when it comes to vehicles. This required me to remove both rear tires of my Ram and really get under the truck to inseart these between the coil springs. I could have done this myself if I had a lift that would have raised above my head. So I felt that it was just a bit too much work for me to do, with the high probability that I would screw it up. I opted to contact the local shop that I have put tires on and asked if they would do it. The local shop charged me $100.00 and installed them for me on their lift. Once installed I noticed a huge difference right away with the more stiffness of the rear end. Less bouncing all over the place. I love my Ram, but I had always noticed that it would sink when I would climb in the bed of the truck more so than the F-150 I had before. These Air Lift's work so well in fixing the sag. I can put the ATV's in with no issues. I like that the valve stem can be run independently to either side or linked together. I linked mine together so one valve controls both sides. Very simple to air up and to remove pressure as well. I highly recommend. I've had these on for over a year and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

These are a must have for sure if you are even thinking about towing with your Ram 1500. They make the truck ride great when trailer is connected, maybe a little stiff when no trailer but not enough for me to complain. you can always let some air out if to stiff. The installation process is very quick and easy, I didn't follow their instructions a'm afraid though. That would seem like it would take a few hours and require special tools. 1. Connect the fitting on the end of the bag 2. attach hose to the fitting and place the hose clamp on it 3. fold the bag over and zip tie it with three zip ties should be fine. The will make the bag long and skinny. I used my knees to help fold it over and hold it while I zip tied it. The skinnier you make the bag the easier it is to install. 4, Jack up the truck and place jack stands for safety, I went high enough to put the tires in the air so the coil was fully extended. I did not remove tires, didn't feel the need to. 5. feed the hose followed by the airbag up through the bottom rung of your coil spring. 6. the hose should come out the top of the spring. 7. Once the bag is in the coil simply cut the zip ties. 8. rout the hose to the rear of truck, I went through the frame for protection. 9. Cut the hose to length maybe leave a few extra inches for final connections. there was plenty of hose for me left. 10. Repeat steps for other airbag. 11. I installed the filler valve in this small cap in the rear bumper to the right side of license plate. Search youtube, watch a few videos and take the best of each, now I wish I would have taken some pictures because no one did the exact same as I did. The only thing I will remind is #1 and #2 on the list. I didn't do this for the first bag and had to go through the tire well to attach it. It was impossible just now the coil is in the way and the tire was there. So for the second bag I put the fitting and hose on first and wow that side was done in less then five minutes and that includes routing the hose through the frame to the rear.

PRO's: Purchased mine Mar 3, 2025, installed easily, highly recommend watching the installation videos. The sweet spot for my set up (2021 Ram 1500, 5.7, pulling Alliance Delta 252RL) is 45psi which keeps the truck and trailer both perfectly leveled. After two short trips and a third to Arizona from Texas I couldn't be happier. Until..... CON's: Our 4th trip from Texas to California started great, then out of the "blew" my right airbag popped like a loud balloon. Scared the bajeezers out of my wife and I. We're currently on our way back home and although I feel pulling has been safe during the trip, the drive doesn't feel near as comfortable and stable as it did before. Deciding what to do now, I'm torn. Really like the air bags, but do not want to be purchasing over and over if this is common. UPDATE: After contacting Air Lift, I was sent a replacement immediately. Looking forward to being back to my level ride!!!

Works great easy to install. Took about 45 min- 1hr by myself. No squat with 6000lb rv.

I install these on my 1500 Ram to help stabilize the rear when pulling a heavy load on the trailer especially the RV or the excavator. Even though they are much heavier built than other airbags, You can actually collapse them and put the valve cap on and squeeze them through the Springs with your Springs fully extended. I was able to install them like that and then remove the cap and let them expand then attach your hose kit air them up and go. I've ran them for 6 months now, working very well. No leaks and great load leveling.

Amazing product. Easy to install. Engage 4 wheel drive and set parking break. Chalk tires to prevent rolling. Left rear of truck at hitch until tires are almost off the ground. Place Jack stand under hitch for additional safety measure. Lift tire with second Jack, just enough to get wheel off. Compress airbag and squeeze it through the spring. I used one zip tie to assist with holding the bottom as I fed it through. Be sure to pull the bottom of the bag down into the spring as you push the top in. Makes it way easier. I ran valve stem through bottom plate hole. Needed to lower spare and drill 1” hole in double walled plastic to allow enough space for nut and lock washer through. Air up your bags and you’re done. I put 15 psi in mine and can’t get over the difference in ride. Feels like my diesel Titan HD! No more bounce or body roll. No doubt this will improve my towing control substantially!

Put these on my first Ram 1500 and worked like a charm. With 30' travel trailer hooked up, no more sag. Truck was dead level. Recently replaced the Ram with a new one, ordered new airlift air bags same day I picked it up, had them on 3 days later. Easy to install, no need to remove springs, just passenger side wheel and both wheel well covers. Jacked the back up at the hitch and sprayed the springs with soapy water, not the airlift bags. Use some stronger lock ties than the ones included. I broke 3 of them trying to hold bag squeezed tight. You-Tube very helpful over enclosed instructions. Enjoy.

Before installing the air bags my truck had a huge sag but now it’s levelled right out! Travel trailer is about 32 feet long and 5500lbs. The box comes with a picture of a 4th gen ram but don’t worry it fits a 5th gen ram 1500 just fine also I believe that air bags are compatible with both trucks. Very easy to install with the right tools and YouTube videos!

I got these to replace the Timbren SES I was using and for that they are great. They give differing levels of help to the truck's suspension and aren't an on/off solution. They do not increase payload but they do improve the way that load is carried. These with my weight distribution hitch make a real difference towing for a level and comfortable ride with more confidence in corners and less pitching up and down. They also help to properly align my headlights at night.

These have been great for towing our trailer. No more sway. Install was easy with the hamburger bun method. Squish the air out of the bag and zip tie it. Insert bags into springs and cut the zip ties. Docking 1 star for incredibly cheap hose clips that come with it. You are likely to break a few and there is no extras, so be prepared. I would also suggest getting a push fit T fitting instead of the T that's included, it's almost impossible to push into the hose. Ran the hose into the T and up into the truck box, no holes drilled. No leaks. Bags themselves seem durable. Will see this winter if they survive.
