Hey everyone.
I have a company truck for work. It’s a 2014 ram 1500 all stock but a contractor cap and tools in the back.
My headlights point to the sky- and It’s really bothering me.
I Havnt measured yet- but it’s an obveous sag. The rear is lower than the front.
Seeing as it’s my work truck, I don’t want to spend much on it. And the boss won’t pay for the upgrade.
But what’s my best option to get back to a stock rake.
Should I add the airlift 1000 air bags? There about $150
Or would adding a rear coil spacer solve this?
Any input is appreciated.

Bags would do the trick.

I wouldn't touch the truck. First, I wouldn't spend money on a truck that isn't mine and second if something goes wrong with what ever parts you put on or damage to the truck occurs (unlikely but could happen) your employer could hold you liable.

Just live with it or you could try adjusting them down and see if that helps.

If you have some spare money, look at stiffer rear coil aka TufTruck. Then if you want some more comfort, then add the AirLift 1000HD.

Thanks everyone. I’m in Canada. So there probably 75 American.

I think I’ll go that route. Seems logical.

The headlights won’t adjust down- or up. Which I thought was weird. The screw must be stripped like my old dodge.
This thing rides like a pile of **** compared to my 19’ warlock.

If it was me I'd sneak a couple spacers in and never mention it (for deniability). There are 1.5" spacers available under $35/set US.. probably pretty similar North of the border too.

Measure the distance from the ground to the edge of your rear fender. I think most crew cab 1500’s are sitting at around 39” bone stock.. If it was your truck I’ll say you could do tuff truck springs. But because it’s a company truck who cares. I wouldn’t want my employees messing with my trucks for sure.

My boss if fine with me doing something to fix it. But it’s on my dime. Which if it’s 100 I don’t mind.

I used the rear AirLift air bags inside my coil springs on my last 1500. They worked great for handling the loads in the truck bed and towing.
