Question:

Is the air lift system you show on your web site the exact system that is factory installed on the newer Ram 3500?

Apparently the factory air suspension on the newer Rams such as a 2016 Ram 3500 is not a true air suspension system. Rather it is a hybrid of air bag helper springs and leaf spring suspension. So if you were to add air bags to a truck that did not come with the factory "air suspension" then it would be a similar set up.

On the 1500s it is a different system, a truer air suspension.

For Air Lift system # AL57295 fits 4x4 models and # AL57297 fits 2-wheel drive models. If you want to add an on-board compressor there are several options and I have linked them for you.
