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 Pack Brake Alpha HD Rear Axle Double Convoluted Airbag Suspension Kit. Now this kit has been designed to fit your 2019 and newer RAM 2500, both the two and four wheel drive models. I do wanna point out though that these will not fit trucks with factory optional air suspension or the cabin chassis models. Just so you're aware of that.
On custom fit parts such as this kit, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, heavy trailers, full beds and gear piled high, this 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 puts you back into control with up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling support. It's gonna help reduce squat, improve your steering response, and keep your truck stable when the weight stacks up. Now, every haul is different. That's why these air springs give you full control over the ride height in firmness with adjustable air pressure from five to 100 PSI. So if you're hauling a fifth wheel or a full bed of gravel, you can crank that pressure up and then when you're unloaded and heading home, you can drop that pressure back down for a softer ride.
So with the manual inflation valves included, tuning your suspension for the day's work is going to be very simple. Now these airbags are reinforced all the way through with heavy duty end caps, 20 internal support wires, heavy duty roll plates on the top and bottom. Then you got these powder coated steel brackets, and then I don't have it laid out on my table, but I do want to show you that we have all the hardware here in this photo. So I thought this was a more easy way to see the hardware all laid out in this photo. That hardware is going to be corrosion resistant.
And so all of this is designed to put up with virtually any type of road conditions, any type of weather conditions. So these are well constructed, they're robust and they're gonna hold up for you for a long time, be able to dish out, be able to put up with whatever you dish out, either through the road or weather. Now, this kit is designed to work with your setup right now or wherever your upgrades take you down the road. Again, you're gonna be able to inflate manually with the standard air valves right outta the box. No extra parts needed. But if you already have an onboard air compressor, that's great. This is going to work with most existing systems. And then if maybe you're thinking of something for the future, like maybe a wireless end cap controller or something like that, this is going to be able to grow with you with your upgrade. So you're laying the foundation for future upgrades. And like I said, this will grow with you. Now, as I mentioned, this will give you up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling support, but please be aware of the fact that this doesn't actually increase your truck's weight carrying capacity. So you wanna be sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit. If you do pick this kit up, I would like to hear back from you regarding your experience with installing these and using them so you can share your experiences with us by dropping a comment or leaving a review on this product page. And then if you have any other additional questions, don't hesitate to call, email, or chat. And we wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you want and need. Well, I think it'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!
Put about 1800 miles on these last weekend. Was picking up a car that's heavier than my normal race car on the ramp truck, so I wanted to give the truck a bit of help. Good news, it worked well. Truck rode beautifully, loaded or unloaded.
The instructions could be a bit more clear, in regards to the clinch stud. I had that on backwards at first because of how things appeared in the picture. Also, I know most things are DIY but installation was about 80% assembly, 20% actual install. If these came already assembled, it would have saved a lot of time!
