factory air ride install afterthought?

Barcelo5 · Oct 25, 2015

Just wondering if its even possible to have the factory air ride installed on my 1500 sport? I've heard its a $1500 option when ordering but wondering how much it would be after the fact? I know there's probably more viable options out there but would love that factory look and feel. Anyone out there ever do this or looked into it?

I'm sure it would be much cheaper to just trade your truck in for a new one with air suspension.

I can guarantee it will cost much more if it's even possible at all. You're talking about changing the entire suspension setup, not to mention you'd also need the computers to recognize it which I doubt can be flashed on like other things. You're by far better off either living without it, or trading in for one with it.

I hear you guys. Was just a thought. Didn't realize what was all behind it. Was thinking it was just bags on the existing struts and a tank in the back lol! Looks like bilstien's will have to do!!

Haha and here I am trying to figure out a list of parts I would need to strip the air ride suspension out of my sport. So that I could lower the truck

Thought of just using a Ridetech system?

you can lower your truck and still use the air suspension.
Adjustable Air Ride

Oh I know I can buy the adjustable arms from Bullys but I want a 2/4 drop which means I'd be on my bump stops for my air suspension all the time

You can use the ridetech system but it's only a 2/2 drop. They told me if I lower it down to 4 in the back and drive it I'd bust the rear bags
