Adding Air Suspension

[dhows31]

Has anyone attempted to add the air suspension to a truck that didn't come with it from the factory? I am thinking it is gonna be a bigger challenge and an expensive one at that.

It would be cheaper and easier to sell your truck and buy one with air suspension, if it is even possible at all.

I would look to a aftermarket set up before I would try to add the factory set up.
I would think the factory set up would be most difficult being its tied into the computer.

I have seen customizers install the OEM air springs. an aftermarket control module, and compressor on other vehicles. The benefits is that you have complete control over ride height, no OEM computer software in the way, and can make room for larger tires. It seems to be a lot easier to add air suspension than to remove it. Not sure what a set of four OEM air springs go for these days, used to be $$$

It appears that one front air strut is $900 so this is just a dream until a new truck is in the future.

Have not added air suspension but just recently traded in my 2013 Express for a 2014 1500 sport with factory air suspension and it rides like a dream!
