Firestone Ride-Rite 2014+ Ram 2500 Dodge Rear Air Bag Kit
This airbag system allows you to supplement the load capacity of your 2014+ Ram 2500 truck. If you're tired of squat when loaded or towing, this is the solution. We highly recommend the addition of airbag cradles in an attempt to maintain the best ride quality and suspension flex possible with airbags.
We suggest cradles since that allows the airbags to free float from the axle to maintain full droop travel and articulation. This doesn't work well with stock rear springs, but with an aftermarket long travel rear coil from Carli or Thuren, cradles are a great way to preserve ride and function without damaging your airbags or limiting wheel travel in the process of supplementing capacity. Please note that cradles are best suited for a 1-2" lift application and do not work well on an otherwise stock Ram 2500.
While this kit does preserve full droop travel, the bags, brackets and cradle thickness cut about 2" of upward suspension travel. Since the bags also require a 5psi minimum pressure and are a closed system, you also increase spring rate and reduce ride quality. None of that is ideal, which is why we worked with Full Travel to engineer this Ram 2500 airbag kit that has none of these drawbacks. With that in mind, this Firestone setup now serves as a lower cost alternative, but if you want the most ride quality and performance, you will want to opt for the Full Travel Airbags. If the budget is too tight for either option or you only tow a few times a year, we recommend using Timbren bump stops as they can be bolted in to increase spring rate when towing, and removed when empty.
This airbag kit has a 5,000 pound max capacity, but please note that ANY airbag kit will not increase your truck's factory GVWR or max payload/towing specs.
