Can I Use Air Lift Springs on 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 With 2-Inch Lift?
Question:
I am considering purchasing the Air Lifter LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs Item # AL57230 for my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4x4. I have 2" rear block lift on my truck. Is this product compatible with the 2" lift? Thank you in advance!

Expert Reply:
It depends on how much lift your block actually provides. On its own, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57230 can handle about an inch of lift. If the lift is more than that, you would need the 2" spacer # AL52420.
To make sure, you can do some measuring on your truck. I attached a diagram below to guide you as you measure. You will need to measure the total distance between the mounting surfaces, and subtract that by 5-1/2", which is the air spring design height (A) for these air bags.
