Was the air suspension not listed on the window sticker? If it wasn't I try to return it! I'm pretty sure body lifts are your only option as of now.

No it wasn't I tried to return it or exchange it for something with regular suspension they didn't whant to they have this new law here in Cali called the cool off law once u sign you're stuck with it no returning. So they pulled that on me they did fire the salesman that sold me the truck but that doesn't help me.

Dam that's a pretty crappy situation. Maybe try contacting Chrysler and keep raising hell at the dealership hoping they give in. It's probably a long shot but it doesn't seem like you have many options.

You got a $1700 option free if it wasn't on the window sticker - what other free factory options did u get - 45k is a lot of money to spend and not know what your buying

Body lift. Or completely gut the whole air suspension and put in a lift, I have seen this done before. Don't ask me the details though. Guy on another forum had a long thread about it that was a job in itself just reading it.

Yea it wasn't so I guess it was free its not on the sticker I went back and looked trough it but I never even knew that tam trucks came with air suspension that's why I never checked I even told my salesman I wanted to lift it and all he said nothing about it. It rides great deal smooth just the lifting part is where it gets hard

It is stilled suppose to be listed under standard equipment if it was part of a package. Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958 protects you as a consumer and overrides California law. Hire a lawyer and sue. Dealership and manufacturer can be fined up to $1,000 and/or up to 1 year in prison for each violation.

I almost bought a ram with the air suspension, but was told you cannot lift it. They said the suspension has a 2-3 range. So like rambo said you wuold have gut the whole suspension.

The only option you have right now is the BDS coil over kit. So essentially you'll be completely removing the air suspension from the truck and installing standard suspension.

PA body lifts makes a 5 inch body lift, someone on here supposedly bought it, don't know if they installed it or not, but that's really the highest you can go with an air suspension

That 5'' lift is actually a 3'' body lift with a 2'' leveling kit. 3'' body lift is the biggest they make.

Ceber124 was who bought it, here's the link for the kit.

It is all body lift blocks. No leveling kit. PM him to double check

Just do a body lift and roll with it, the air suspension is a nice thing to have especially for free.

I put the 3" PA body lift on mine.

Very happy with it.

35's on 20x9 wheels with 0 offset.

No rubbing and no trimming required.

Looks great in my opinion.
