The Best Air Suspension Kit and On-Board Compressor for a 2021 Ram 1500
Question:
I have a 2021 Ram 1500 towing a Lance 1685 travel trailer 5000 lbs +/-. When hooked up I am getting quite a bit of sag at the rear of the truck. Would an air suspension system be a proper solution?

Air Suspension would be a great way to address the sagging issue you are encountering when you are towing your Lance 1685 Travel Trailer. For your 2021 Ram 1500 I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88375. These have a 5,000-lb weight capacity. The air bags reduce the strain on your rear suspension, increase safety, and compensate for uneven loads. They level your truck from front to back and adjust independently for side-to-side leveling of off-center loads. They also improve steering and braking performance. The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs have internal bumpers, so you get the adjustable load support of air springs and the comfort and reliability of jounce springs. Jounces also work as a fail-safe if air springs lose pressure. The best part about an air suspension system is it does not negatively effect your daily driving when not towing or hauling a heavy load. I have attached a video of this system being installed on a Ram 1500.
I also recommend the Air Lift Load Controller I Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Dual Path item # AL25651. This quiet, virtually vibration-free compressor system comes with an in-cab, dual-path controller, allowing you to monitor and adjust the air pressure of two springs independently for better control.
