How do you Feel About Air Suspension

Shewpan · Feb 3, 2015

The Rebel is only available with Rams Sir suspension... I don't know about that...

he Rebel package isn’t solely about looks, though. Seventeen-inch cast-aluminum wheels hold meaty, 33-inch Toyo Open Country A/T tires designed to help the Rebel make the most of its skid plates, tow hooks, and ground clearance. All Rebels have the 1500’s optional air suspension, but on this truck it’s raised one inch higher than usual and has Bilstein dampers all around.

i don't mind having it at all
increased ride height for greater travel is what i like
but of course it's one more thing to go wrong

We can just add more air for increased ride height too guys so I'm happy for it.

Jk, replacement in general will be higher but hopefully the quality and longevity of this system will be prove once released, not sure how long ram has been currently using it in any of their models?

It's adjustable, right? As long as it works well then I am in favor of it. I think its cool to be able to change the suspension whenever you'd like. If grandma needs to get in you can lower it, if you are carrying a heavy load you can tighten it.

quality, longevity and reliability is going to be up for concern and consideration
I think ram already use it in the 1500 diesel

Have people had problems with it there? Sure there is some concern for something that hasn't been around that long, but if it hasn't had problems on the Ram 1500 then people should be less worried.

I think the air suspension has its ups and downs

Shewpan · Mar 29, 2015

both ram and jeep have had issues with air ride in the past... and the not so past..

Even on a commercial level I think there are problems.
Overall i'm not too worried about what problems could come up.
If thing happen, they happen.

Im personally excited. My next truck was going to have it anyways. So if it comes stock even better.

I know this is an old quote, but one thing to remember it that if you hook on to a heavy trailer or a front end loader drops a load in the bed- the 4 corner suspension will AUTO adjust the truck back to level.....that in its self is worth it!

I bought the lifetime bumper to bumper warrenty so it won't be a problem for me.
Also I added AMP retractable running boards to keep the lines of the truck clean. These are very nice and work better than stationary ones even though they are pricy.

This is Freaky when you aren't expecting it had 3 people sitting on the tailgate over the weekend and it made a slight adjustment and caught us all off guard lol

I'll have to try this out with a few of the guys! Hopefully they won't spill their beer on my tailgate!

A video recording of this wouldn't go amiss. >

I rather have beer spilled on my tailgate than my interior! At least with the bed and tailgate you can power wash the mess away easily without worry.
