Worked great on my 2001 ram 2500

Easy install and just what I needed to balance the lean of my truck.

Love these things. I opted not to get the onboard air and just ran lines for both bags to a homemade bracket off the bottom of the back bumper. I installed them on a '99 F250 Super Duty 4x4 and have only really given them a workout once. I put 3000 lbs in the bed of the truck, aired up each bag to 60 psi and if you couldn't see the concrete blocks peaking up over the bed sides you wouldn't know anything was in there. On the drive home it felt like it was empty. It actually rode a little nicer than empty. Couldn't be happier with the results. No more driving around with a load on with the headlights pointing up in the air, rear end swaying all over the place on bumps, locking up the front brakes when stopping short. These keep the truck straight and level going down the road and it handles like it had that weight on there from the factory. Added bonus is you don't need to destroy your back any more by adding extra springs that don't give an inch when there's no load. Just let out the air and you're back to a factory riding truck. Can't wait to see how they handle the big trailer. I don't think I'll be disappointed.One thing of note, the upper bracket that mounts to the frame will not completely clear the recess that's there on the Ford frames. I had to take the spacers they provided for the Mopar applications and grind one to a taper for the part of each bracket that lands on the radius of that recess. I tried installing one without this and the thing had so much spring to it, it snapped the mounting bolt before I could torque it down all the way to spec. Installed the homemade taper spacers and it worked fine after that. As with most stuff that's universal fit, it often takes a little fabrication/modificaiton work to make the install happen. You have to drill holes in the frame and for my application you have to modify a couple spacers on the bench grinder. If you want something that just bolts on to the existing truck hardware, spend the extra coin and get the one that's specific to your application. Otherwise this setup is money and I wouldn't hesitate to max out its advertised capacity now that I've seen it in action. These will go on every truck I own from here on out now that I've seen how well they work.

Ok to clarify, I love the product, it does have some issues I am less the happy with.1. Had to drill my frame to make this work, not a big deal I am capable and can do what needs to be done, some however are not capable nor have the tools to take care of any oh crap moments that may arise, that being said if you don't plan, then your plan is to fail.2. My suggestion to the manufacturer of this product is add a few extra bolts I was short 4 bolts by the hole count on the bracket, I had my own to use but if you have your truck all taken apart and no other means of travel is available your hung. Plus needed some shims for the variance in the frame to bracket, once again had washers that worked but once again could use a few extra.3. The T connector is Junk, an upgrade up front is needed.4. The push pins to the needle valves on the release valve for the two side adjustments had leaks due to the pins so I removed them and cured that issue, will eventually take a file and shorten them hope that resolves the issue think they were just to long and pushed down on the valves.The swivel 90 deg. air inlet for the air bags are an odd size the manufacturer needs to state the size so you can buy a replacement just in case. Sorry I didn't take time to mic. them at the time I installed everything I just wanted to get my truck back on the road.I can't think of anything else, I bought 2 different air connections sets for just in case replacement of and for any issues. Always plan once again.Other then those minor issues I love the product, my trailer is Heavy Heavy and these hold it up like a champ.

Great product i have installed many. First time installing on a ram with factory additional leaf.I had to set the bag at 5” height in order for the top frame mounted bracket to actually be bolted to the frame. Used bottom 4 holes on frame bracket. Left top two un used. Works great and still within the bag height specifications of 5-7” (no air pressure). Installed on a truck with a service body (loaded fairly heavy) without a trailer at 35 psi in each bag it leveled the rear and ride quality got 100 times better. Air Lifts products are far superior then other readily available options.
