5,000-lb Capacity. When the load gets heavy, your truck shouldn't feel like it's fighting you. These air bags help you stay level and in control so you can tow with confidence and handle heavy loads without second-guessing your suspension.
When the load gets heavy, your truck needs more than just rear springs hanging on for dear life. Alpha HD air springs add up to 5,000 lbs of rear axle support, keeping your truck steady even when the trailer is loaded, the bed is packed, and the miles are long. No more rear-end sag throwing off your braking and steering, or headlights pointing into the sky. With air bag support underneath, you keep control of your ride even when you're towing a travel trailer or moving a serious payload.
Every load is different, and this system adjusts to match. Alpha HD air springs let you fine-tune ride height and firmness with air pressure from 5 to 100 psi. When carrying heavy weight, add air to level your suspension and maintain steady handling. Running without a load? Drop to the minimum pressure for a smoother, more compliant ride without stiffness or bounce. Manual inflation valves are included, so tuning your setup for each trip is straightforward and dependable.
Air bags are only as strong as their weakest link. That's why Alpha HD bags are reinforced from end to end with heavy-duty end caps, 20 internal support wires, and powder-coated steel brackets. Add corrosion-resistant hardware and thick roll plates, and you've got gear that holds up to real-world hauling through heat, cold, salt, and slop.
Adding serious load support shouldn't mean losing a whole weekend. The precision laser-cut brackets are designed to bolt cleanly to your truck's existing mounting points with minimal drilling. Just smart engineering that fits the way it should, which is perfect for the DIYer. Manual valves mount through license plate fastener holes or a location of your choosing (which may require drilling). With high-quality fittings, pre-bent brackets, and mounting hardware included, you'll be back on the road in just a few hours without a trip to the fab shop.
This kit is designed to work with your setup today and wherever your upgrades take you tomorrow. You can inflate manually with standard air valves right out of the box, no extra parts needed. Already have an onboard compressor? The Alpha HD system connects easily to most existing setups. Planning for an in-cab wireless controller down the road? No problem. The foundation is already built in, making it easy to expand your control options when you're ready.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this PacBrake Alpha HD Rear Axle Double Convoluted Airbag Suspension Kit. Now this kit has been designed to fit your 2014 and newer RAM 2,500. Both the two wheel and four wheel drive models, and your 2014 Dodge Ram 2,500. Please note on the screen that these will not fit vehicles equipped with a factory optional air suspension, and this may require the use of two inch spacers on some later model RAM 2500 2 wheel and four wheel drive models that are the power wagon application.
So if that's you, I do have the item number there for those spacers that you can add to your order. If you are in need of them. On custom fit parts such as this kit, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Input the year, make and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm for you if this kit will work or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, heavy trailers, full beds and gear piled high, you know that that all changes how your truck handles.
So without the right support, you're gonna feel that immediately. Whether it's sagging in the rear, poor handling, or a ride that gets unpredictable very fast, this airbag system is gonna put you back into control with up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling support. So that's gonna, this is gonna help reduce that squat. It's gonna help improve steering response and it's gonna keep your truck stable when the weight stacks up. But every haul is different.
That's why these air springs give you full control over the height and firmness with adjustable air pressure from five to 100 PSI. So for instance, if you're hauling a fifth wheel or a full bed of gravel, you'll just simply crank up that pressure and then when you're unloaded and heading home, drop the pressure back down for a softer ride, with these manual inflation valves included tuning your suspension for the day's work's gonna be really straightforward. These bags are reinforced all the way through with heavy duty end caps, 20 internal support wires, and powder coated steel brackets. And I don't have all the hardware laid out here on my table, but I thought it would be easier for to see what you get with a photo there. So as you can see, you're gonna get all of this hardware.
I do have the bags loosely assembled with the roll plates and the brackets, just kind of give you an idea of what it's going to look like installed on your truck, but the corrosion resistant hardware, along with those thick roll plates, you're gonna get a kit that's gonna hold up really well to real world hauling through any type of weather conditions, any type of road conditions. The precision laser cut brackets are designed to bolt cleanly to your truck's existing mounting points without welding or drilling your frame. And this kit is designed to work with your setup now and wherever your upgrades may take you down the road. So again, you're gonna be able to inflate manually with the standard air valves right out of the box, no extra parts needed, but maybe you already have an onboard compressor. If that's the case, that's great because these are gonna connect easily to most existing setups. Or maybe you're planning for something like an in-cab wireless controller down the road. That's not gonna be an issue either because you're laying the foundation with this kit. It's gonna be very easy to expand your control options when you are ready. Now, as I mentioned, this is going to give you up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling support, but I do wanna make you aware of the fact that these do not actually increase your truck's weight carrying capacity. So you wanna be sure that you're not exceeding the manufacturer's recommended weight limits. If you do pick this kit up, we would like to hear back from you regarding your experience with getting these installed and using them so you can share your experience with us by dropping a comment or leaving a review on this product page. But if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach back out to us. We wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you want and need. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
Don’t fit, worked on it for hours with no luck.
They need instructions to be more clear but fit very nicely i would recommend pacebrake
Going camping!!!
Worked out great
Thank you Joshua for your assistance.
Easy install and done exactly what I needed it to do
Excellent choice… Very high-quality… Took 4 to 5 hours to install… Which included new shocks getting all the tools together and clean up… Very happy thank you
Installed this past weekend. Haven't towed with it yet. Nice construction and finish. I have a 2025 Chevrolet Trail Boss 2500HD and the spacers are NOT needed. Measurement for needing the spacers in 7" and above between jounce cup and contact pad. My space was 5.5" to 6".
Awesome product easy to install and I really appreciate etrailer service
It was very easy install . The ride has improved a lot while towing my 41 ft. toy hauler , Thanks !!
Direct bolt on, plug and play
The product is a great product. After installation was completed and the air added to the air suspension, it raised the rear end of the van about 2-3 inches.A very nice improvement.
Installation instructions definitely need better quality diagrams.
Easy to install and work just as I had expected. Great finish on brackets and quality hardware. Easy to follow instructions. Highly recommend these airbags!
The 2" spacers are definitely not needed for a Trail Boss. I could barely get them in, and now the ride is super stiff. Now I have to get back under the truck and remove the spacers. Not looking forward to that. It was very difficult installation, for no reason.
Very well built brackets, installation was as explained in the instruction. Happy Camper!
