How To Determine The Correct Spacers For Air Springs On 2022 Ram 1500 With 6 BDS Suspension Lift
Question:
I have a 6 inch BDS performance elite lift on my 2022 Ram 1500 non air ride. I want air bags to help with leveling when I tow my boat of 6200 pounds. Whats system do I need and what spacer for the air bags ? I prefer the stainless lines. Thank you very much for the help.

I was able to find on BDS website that their 6" Performance Elite lift gives the rear 5" longer coil springs for your 2022 Ram 1500. This means you will need either the 4" Spacer # AL52440 or 6" Spacer # AL52460 with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs # AL88375.I have included an installation video for these springs below which will show you where the springs mount. This will help you identify where to measure on your Ram to determine the correct size spacers. The bags themselves have a design height of 6" so you will need to measure this area to determine if you would be closer with 10" or 12" between where the mounting brackets will sit on your Ram.
