Air Lift 1000 Air Spring Kit – Fits 2009-2024 Ram 1500 – 60818

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.

Great, but when you fold it hotdog style, close the bun and slide it in that way, if you can it is 10x easier, I struggled for a while before finally changing how I approached it and had one in about a minute

These were my second set on my second truck. They work great.

Hard to get these to not leak. Had luck on my friends truck by adding ptfe tape to the threads before installing. Annoying to have to constantly check air, but nice feature to have if you tow a lot.Installation of these is super tough, but doable.

Good

This product is exactly what I need to take the squat out of the truck after hooking up my travel trailer. HOWEVER, you will need a bench vise and zip ties to roll it up "hot dog style" like their demo video show. I have a grip strength of 135lbs and those sucker's don't bend very easily. I recommend deflating it as much as possible by stepping on it then put the cap back on. Then crush the ends in the vise and apply some heavy zip ties to keep it tight. Then you and a buddy shove them into the springs and cut the zip ties.

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 have a 2012 RAM 1500 and tow 2 ATVs across the country to go riding with my son and my Dad. Most of the time, I have to put one ATV in the bed while I tow our kit and the second ATV. Us RAM owners know that this means -- my truck sags quite badly because of the coil rear springs. They're great for driving around town with an empty truck, but sag terribly when anything more than a pillow is put into the bed of the truck.The Airlift 1000 air spring kit seemed to be a simple solution. However, I was nervous because there are numerous write ups on line that state you have to take off your springs to install the unit. That is simply not true any more. I called Airlift and they have changed their design so that the top 'puck' now fits between the coils.Installation of this unit was very, very simple and incredibly fast. In fact, it took me longer to lower my spare tire to make room to work under the truck than to get the bags into the coils.a) Removed my spare tireb) Jacked up my truck so that my wheels were 6" off the ground.c) Inserted 2 Jack stands under the frame as far to the rear as possible (just in front of the two link arm mounts)d) Released pressure on the scissors jacke) Let the axle "hang" (the tires will now be about 3" off the ground)f) Put 2 Jack stands under the axle FOR SAFETY!g) Took off my rear tiresh) Folded the two bags into 'hot dog buns'. Take the cap off the brass fitting, kneel on it, fold, kneel on it some more and replace cap (see Airlift's on line video)i) Slid them into the coil springs. Expected a fight, but it was amazingly simple. Went in by hand with no need for tools.j) Took off the cap, poked and prodded the bag as it filled up and seated within the coilk) Installed the first air hose and clampl) Put the air hose through the puck and slid the 'puck' between the coils so that it sits on the top of the bag (air hose goes through the center hole)m) Routed the air lines as instructedn) Connected the air lines together with a brass 't'. I didn't like the plastic 't' that come in the kit -- was worried that it would break in winter weather. You can get the brass 't' at a hardware store -- the same brass 't' that would be used to connect water hoses to refrigerators.o) Installed the fill valve on my hitch and connect to the brass 't' (there are two holes at the base -- I used one of them)p) Re-installed my rear wheelsq) Dropped the truckr) Re-seated my spares) Added 30 PSI to the units and checked for leaks (follow instructions for leaving in air overnight and checking next morning)DONE....Using the air bags:a) I'm still experimenting, but I have been riding with 5-10 psi on normal days. Doesn't seem to affect the ride and extends the life of the bagsb) Pump the bags to their max (30-35 psi) before loading the truck.c) Load the truck and connect the trailerd) Load the trailere) Let a bit of air out (until truck sags A BIT)f) Purchase an inexpensive 12V compressor and carry it with you when traveling.
