Air suspension fell off

[Grodd77]

I just bought a 2016 Ram Rebel. I turned the corner today and hear a bang and realize the back right corner of the truck was way lower than the rest. I went out and found this… just wondering what happened and what this is?

That would be the air spring the rear suspension rides on. Don't think I've seen this reported before.

never seen that before was the truck overloaded or anything?

How much air time has the truck seen lately,lol.
About all that would dislodge the bag is if the rear tires were off the ground

The bed was empty lol. I stopped at a stop sign and when I turned right it happened…

The bag could of been dislodged awhile ago,and turning the corner unloaded it just enough it finally fell out of place.
Jack it up by the trailer hitch far enough you can man handle the bag back in place,and see if it still holds air,check the airline feeding it while you're at it.

Are they really not bolted in place? I have Loadlifter 5000 Ultimate Plus bags that I installed on my rear and they are bolted in place top and bottom, had to drill holes and they are in almost the exact spot that is used by the trucks running full air suspension.

You may find it easier to remove the shock from the lower mount before you jack the frame up.
You’ll get more articulation room to replace the air bag
