Why the Air Lift 1000HD
Coil-sprung Ram 1500 trucks that tow or haul and want the strongest coil-insert air spring Air Lift makes. The Air Lift Air Lift 1000HD mounts inside the rear coil springs on your 2009-2024 Ram 1500 and adds up to 2,100 lb of adjustable load-leveling support. Add air when you hook up the trailer or load the bed to stop rear squat, trailer sway, headlight aim drift and bottoming out; bleed it off when you are empty for a stock ride. Keep a minimum of 5 PSI in the springs at all times; there is no internal jounce bumper in this kit.

Questions
Does this kit increase my payload or towing rating?
No. Air springs level the truck and stop squat within the weight the manufacturer already rates it for. GVWR, axle, tire and hitch ratings do not change.
Do I need an onboard compressor?
No. The kit includes Schrader valves so you can air up at any gas station or with a portable compressor. An Air Lift LoadController or WirelessAir system lets you adjust from the cab and is the most common add-on.
Can I run the springs empty when the truck is unloaded?
Keep a minimum of 5 PSI in the springs at all times; there is no internal jounce bumper in this kit.
Will it lift my truck?
It is not a lift kit. At low pressure ride height is essentially stock; more pressure raises the loaded rear end back to level. Running high pressure unloaded will sit the rear up and stiffen the ride.
How does it install inside the coil spring?
The air spring compresses and slides into the factory rear coil with the spring still on the truck in most applications, then the air line routes to a Schrader valve you mount at the bumper or hitch. No frame drilling.
How long does installation take?
Most owners finish in one to two hours with common hand tools. Check the included instructions for the bracket that applies to your truck. Detailed illustrated instructions are in the box.
