Why the RideControl
Half-ton trucks and SUVs with moderate rear sag from a camper shell, bed cargo or a light trailer that do not need a full LoadLifter kit. The Air Lift RideControl bolts between the frame and the rear axle on your 1982-2007 Ford F-150 / Ram 1500 / Chevy Silverado 1500 / GMC Sierra 1500 and adds up to 2,000 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.
Does it work with a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch?
Not stated by Air Lift for this application; check the kit instructions if you run an in-bed hitch.
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.
