Will Air Lift Suspension Enhancement Help a 2014 Ram 1500 with Suspension Sag
Question:
I am driving a 2014 Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4×4, 5.7 with factory installed tow package. I tow a 23 ft travel trailer with 650 lb tongue weight. The truck pulls the trailer fine but it causes the rear suspension to squat considerably when I have the trailer attached using an e-2 weight distribution hitch. Will this system help eliminate the squat in the rear suspension?

Expert Reply:
An air spring kit like the part # AL57365 that you referenced will help reduce sag in the suspension of your 2014 Ram 1500 but your weight distribution system should be fixing the sag already as long as it is set up properly and properly rated for the tongue weight of your trailer.
Which E2 system do you have? If it is the # FA94-00-0800 which is good for up to 800 lbs of tongue weight you might try running it through the setup procedure as it sounds like you need more spring bar tension.
