Question for air suspension guru's

[Curt2016Ram]

I apologize if I have overlooked this in another thread. Not every night, but every so often I will go to the truck in the morning and the entire left side is at the lowest position. It never does it if I leave it overnight in off road 2. When I jump in it is always in O/R 2. I can drive this truck around town all day long and no issues. The minute I take to the highway or interstate about 40 miles the ride gets real rough and I know I am about to get the suspension service light.
Sure enough, it lights up on the dash and the entire left side is riding dirty. Sometimes it will ride like this for 20 or so minutes and it goes back to normal. That or I turn off the truck for say 30 minutes and it works again. I could be wrong, but this doesn't sound like a pump or leak in the system. Maybe more like the ride height sensors?

It’s your warning to delete it before it leaves you stranded

kit recommendation?

 

[mrack]

Kits are all way overpriced. All you need is front struts, rear coils and rear coil isolators. Could do rear shocks while you’re at it if you feel like it. Decide if you want stock height or a little lift and do your research from there. Hard to go wrong with bilstein 5100s

 

[Curt2016Ram]

according to air delete, use 4600 for rears if you tow/haul, but 5100 seems the go to up front. Which coil springs did you go with?

 

[mrack]

The one delete I did I just put stock springs and 5th gen struts in. I have a couple other trucks with superlift rear springs though, they’re pretty decent.

 

[Curt2016Ram]

thanks.

That's a valve block issue. My recent delete was front-(struts coils front strut mount and bump stops) rear- coils, shocks and spring insulators. All the parts are for non air ride trucks so choose whatever shocks/struts/springs you'd like and grab the (front bump stops, strut mounts and coil isolators for a non air ride ram. Available at rock auto last I looked). You'll need alpha or similar programmer to get rid of the check suspension warning messages.

Or fix a decent suspension. I like mine.

I liked mine too, but after mutiple long drives fully deflated when it failed I decided I'd prefer life without it. My air suspension was still and actually still would be now under warranty if it wasn't in a dumpster because the dealers couldn't or wouldn't repair it properly.
