Ram 1500 Air Suspension Kits (and Delete Kits) by Year

Searches for "Ram 1500 air suspension kit" cover two unrelated jobs. The first is a load-leveling air spring kit (Air Lift LoadLifter 5000, Firestone Ride-Rite) bolted onto a standard leaf-spring Ram to help it carry a trailer or camper without sagging. The second is an air suspension delete or conversion kit for Rams that came from the factory with an electronic Air Ride system, which swaps the air struts and air bags for conventional coil springs and shocks when the factory air system wears out or gets expensive to maintain. If you want a lower stance instead of a fix for a failed air system, see our separate Ram 1500 lowering kits page.

The table below lists the current Air Lift and Firestone load-leveling kits plus the Strutmasters delete kits, matched to the Ram 1500 and Ram 2500 generation each one is built for. Always confirm your truck's build date and trim against the retailer's fitment tool before ordering, since Rebel, TRX, RHO, and the carryover "Classic" trim often need a different part number than the standard trim of the same model year.

Strutmasters sells separate delete kits for the two Ram 1500 generations that offered factory Air Ride: the DR14F for 2013-2018 trucks, and the DR44F for 2019-2024 trucks. Neither kit fits the Ram 1500 Classic, TRX, or RHO trims. Both replace the front air struts and rear air bags with coil springs and conventional shocks, and both are also sold with an optional light-fix module (DR14FM / DR44FM) that clears the dashboard air suspension warning light electronically instead of leaving it on after the conversion.

A delete kit is built to bring the truck back to roughly its original Air Ride height on coils, not to lower or lift it, so treat any height change as a side effect of worn components rather than a planned drop. Have an alignment done after the conversion, since removing the air struts changes front ride height slightly and resets camber and caster. Some Ram 1500 delete/conversion kits are spec'd around factory-size wheels up to 18 inches; owners running 20-inch wheels have reported rubbing after converting, so check your kit's wheel-size notes before ordering if you run larger wheels.

If your Ram 1500 or 2500 rides on regular coil or leaf springs and you tow or carry heavy loads, you want a load-leveling kit like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 or Firestone Ride-Rite, both of which bolt in without cutting any factory air lines. If your truck has factory Air Ride (an option on 2013-2018 and 2019-2024 Ram 1500s) and the dash is showing an air suspension warning or the truck is sagging on one corner, that's a delete/conversion kit job, not a helper spring.
