Can I add airbags to 2019 Ram 1500 and not void factory warranty?

WernRJ · May 1, 2022

I'm considering adding airbags to my 2019 Ram 1500 w/extended warranty to 10yr/100k miles and don't want to void the warranty. When towing our travel trailer it squats a bit too much for my liking, even though I'm using a weight distribution hitch.

RAM: Big Horn 1500, Crew Cab, 5'7" box, 5.7L Hemi, 3.92 axle ratio, Trailer Tow package, 11,539 Max Tow, 1,639 Max Payload.
Trailer: 28ft Toy Hauler, Dry 7,226#, Hitch 1,126#
WDH: Equalizer 12,000# GTW, 1,200# TW

My questions are, would adding airbags impact my warranty? Recommendation on airbags for DIY install, I'm pretty handy, have access to a nice shop and friends who are also pretty good at wrenching.

Thanks
Rich

Look up the Magnason Moss act , this explains your use of aftermarket parts and warranty .

I don't see how adding airbags could ever impact your warranty.
Timber Grove airbags are IMO the best quality and definitely have the best service. Easy-peasy installation.

Air bags being added, I doubt would affect any warranty of the manufacturer, especially if it is not altering any original equipment.

Are you planning to use in the coil air bags? Or air springs...

Like any work on a truck, verifying the problem will help money to be spent wisely. Load truck and trailer up and take to scales and weigh all axles plus tongue weight. You may have too much weight on truck rear and your fix could be a free task of removing or redistributing weight. Just pumping airbags without knowing these numbers could mask a minor to serious long term problem.

I have Ram 1500 Std Cab with 5.7 Hemi. I fled CA in Feb 2020 & made two trips with a PACKED U-haul 6X12 trailer. I added Air-Lift 1000HDs & looped them both together to a schraeder valve in the gas fill compartment. The combination of the Weigh-Safe hitch and Air-Lifts helped me to manage the weight so I could max it out for both trips. I CAT scaled the truck(both axles) loaded w/o trailer and then with the loaded trailer. I had only 400 pounds GVWR remaining… The 1000HDs did well for me. They don’t give extra weight capacity but they do help to prevent sag & kept the front end on the pavement for the 2,100mile trips.
