Suspension Issues?

[Mike Whitten]

Has any one had suspension issues after installing a molar 2” leveling kit on a 2020 ram 1500 with air ride.

Guessing you mean "Mopar"?

Don't know what that is, even if that's the case.

But I put in adjustable links on the front (didn't want them for the back) on my '20 with air ride, and raised it 2". No "issues" understanding the limitations. It will only engage OR1, not OR2. And sometimes OR1 is very bouncy. Go back to Normal and then OR1 again and it's fine.

What I did is fool the air ride system so it goes higher than it's designed for. However, if the system you installed is entirely mechanical that should not affect the air ride. I have a 5" Rough Country lift, not installed yet, that uses the original air ride settings. Need to find someone able/willing to install it... I don't have the time.

i had the dealer install the rough country 2" leveling kit its just two brackets that change the air sensors postition raising the truck 2". but now the suspension is bottoming out with any pavement drops like going over bridges. going to have the dealer remove them and go with the Revel performance adjustable sensor links is this what you have? how were they to install. looks simple?

It sounds like if you get too extreme on the driveline angles you will have vibrations or parts worn prematurely?

Air suspension Has enough issues left alone much less modified. Everything has to jive perfectly so if you don’t have experience (like the dealer) leave it alone. Some trucks have no issues some have nothing but issues. A big issue is making sure the links are proper length and that they stay well lubricated front and rear

I used Supreme Suspension links on '17 1500 and they worked perfectly and the quality & price was great. When using links you have to shorten them in small increments, too much and you screw it up. I believe I shortened roughly 3/4" to get almost level. I say "roughly" because each side was different. You have to shorten, cycle and then measure. Repeat until even both sides. If you lift too much you'll lose your Aero mode or OR2. Pic for reference

...as in any system, regardless of system or materials...
