Air Lift HD 1000 AL60818HD Load Support Capacity
Question:
I purchased this product for my 2018 RAM 1500 4x4. I have yet to install. I am now curious what exactly is meant by 2100 pounds of load leveling capacity. I ask because I note in an install video, that with a 700# trailer tongue there is still quite a bit of sag. If there were truly 2100# of load leveling capacity, it seems there should be zero sag with a 700# tongue weight? What am I missing? Thanks!

The bags and lines of the Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60818HD that you referenced are capable of supporting up to 2,100 lbs. So while I don't know what video you are referring to it is very possible the bags just weren't aired up to the point that they'd get rid of all of the suspension sag.
