What should I do about my air suspension?

What should I do about my air suspension?

Pull the air ride out (if it has value try and sell it?) and find a middle of the road Bilstein or Fox solution that will give me the ride + clearance + reliability I need? Factors here would be if removing my air ride system would another non-air ride RAM want or be able to purchase?

Is it possible to remove 4 corner air suspension?

Yeah, removing it could be fairly complicated… there’s a handful of guys and girls out there on the Rebel forum who’ve removed theirs and done the 6″ BDS coilover lift, doable if you have $4000 you’re willing to part with.

How big is the lift on my air suspension?

If you switch the links from the front to the rear I got a 2.5 inch lift all around but the speed bump sized snow ruts and other single hit type everyday road obstacles really weren’t handled well. I’d be curious if someone out there has done an adjustable link plus replaced the struts with something longer?

Do you get out of truck with air ride?

1. Do I just get a few years out of truck with air ride tricked into being a level truck with 35’s squeezed in? 2. Pull the air ride out (if it has value try and sell it?) and find a middle of the road Bilstein or Fox solution that will give me the ride + clearance + reliability I need?

What causes a problem in an air suspension system?

The compressed air within an air suspension system contains moisture that can accumulate and lead to severe damage. This issue is caused by a malfunctioning air dryer assembly, a part designed to remove moisture from the compressed air.

How can I tell if my air suspension is bad?

Checking the suspension system for physical damage like rust is the easiest way to determine if there’s too much moisture in the compressed air. This problem can also affect leveling capabilities, the compressor, or overall suspension performance, so you want to check the stance and performance of your vehicle as well.

Can a faulty air compressor cause air suspension to sag?

The air compressor works to keeps the bags and springs properly inflated. When there’s a leak, the compressor will keep running. On top of that, if there’s a leak in the air springs, the height of the vehicle will drop or it will sag on the side where the damaged air spring is. A faulty compressor is also a common air suspension problem.
