Heavy trailers and bed loads can make the rear end sag, throwing off your steering and headlight aim. The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit adds up to 2,000 lbs of support by turning stock leaf springs into a mechanically active system. Variable-rated coil tension springs automatically adjust to your load so your truck stays level when towing or hauling. When unloaded, they disengage to keep the factory ride smooth without stiffness or bounce.
When weight pushes your leaf springs flat, traction and control drop fast. Each RAS unit uses a powerful variable-rated coil tension spring that immediately activates under load to absorb and support weight before sag sets in. This prevents axle wrap and wheel hop that cause jarring movement and tire slip. By keeping the springs in their proper bowed shape, the system helps extend the life of your shocks, shackles, and tires while giving you steady traction for braking and acceleration.
Towing a camper or hauling a tall load can make turns feel top-heavy and unpredictable. The RAS system reinforces the factory leaf springs to keep the vehicle planted through corners and windy conditions. It stabilizes side-to-side motion so sway and body roll are reduced whether you’re turning into a steep curve or getting passed by a semi on the highway.
Adding real suspension support doesn’t have to be complicated. This all-in-one kit comes fully assembled with corrosion-resistant epoxy e-coated steel construction and brackets rated for more than 800 hours of salt spray. It bolts under the leaf spring and around the factory U-bolts with no drilling, cutting, or welding required. Once installed, no adjustments or maintenance are needed—just dependable load leveling every time you hitch up or haul heavy gear.

Right competitive price, and incredibly fast shipping. What more can you ask! Now all I have to do is the work to install the units, which appears to be really simple for an average weekend mechanic like me.
I put these on a 2019 Raptor. My raptor would sag so much when a trailer was on it, but after putting these on it totally fixed my problem and allowed me to pull heavy loads again. Very easy to install.
Easy install and very happy with the product as I pulled a 3,000 horse trailer after install and had very little sag on the 40% setting. I would add that it raised my Raptor about two inches in the back because the weight of the truck no longer sags it at least on the 40% setting.
Installed yesterday. Looks good. I purchased for my 2009 f150. Fast shipping on product.i will be pulling my 28 foot trailer with my 150. I hope to get a smoother ride pulling my trailer.
Very simple, straightforward install on my 2019 Raptor. Lifted rear 2”, allowing travel trailer to sit level to truck. Hoping long term results are just as impressive. Thank you.
Initial install was very easy. They went on exactly as the instructions said. Less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Just a note: on their strongest setting they raised the rear of my truck 1.5 inches. I have not had hauled a load or pulled a heavy trailer with them on yet. I will give a follow up review after several trials with them.
Good installation instructions. Product raised my 1996 Ford E350 back to stock height which I wanted. Handles washboard roads better. I am satisfied.
Great system installed on 15 seater van and has shown its worth on several occasion at high speed in keeping great control in emergency turns. Highly recommended.
I purchased this kit because I was hauling 1000-1200#s of livestock in the bed of my TitanXd. The kit greatly reduced the swaying side to side from the animals shifting around. I also noticed less bouncing fromy single axle trailer. Overall rode quality was improved and I would purchase again.
Repeat customer. Just installed my second set of Roadmaster Active Suspension springs. Have not towed with them yet; however the ride on my 2014 F150 6.5' bed pickup is noticably smoother. I expect the result when I do tow my travel trailer to be the same as with my previous truck - night and day difference (no more "white knuckle towing)!
After installation (approx. 1 hour) the initial ride once installed was a surprise - the ride was improved immediately. smooth, cornering, handling bumps, slight increase in rear ride height, but my favorite one was helping level out once connected to my camper which is what prompted the purchase. ENJOY
Excellent addition to the truck. It did exactly what I wanted it to do, stiffen the springs so that I don't have so much squat with a trailer, as well as help to keep contact with the road by eliminating wheel bounce. I really appreciate the ride when I'm not pulling a trailer. I was worried it'd be too stiff, but no worries. One other thing, it lifted the rear of the truck up slightly so that it rides more level. I love it!
Package arrived within 2 days after I ordered late in the evening. Well packaged, I have checked both the instructions and a couple of U-tube videos which show how easy they are to install. I will update upon completing the install, and had a chance to hook up our trailer.

working well, but Ive misplaced the thicker tabs to beef up the RAS tension , Can these be purchased seperately,

Purchased the RAS system to help with some bounce I was encountering when towing my 7500# Airstream, especially on older segmented concrete highways.
The installation is pretty simple with a floor jack and a couple of jack stands. The instructions are easy to follow.
With the RAS set up in the lower range of it’s tension, the problem has disappeared — any oscillation is dampened within a cycle.

I originally bought the product to try and bring my 2013 Chevrolet 2500 back to stock height. It has a surveyor pack tool system and tools weighting just over 1000 lbs, since the day it was new. The product did the job. The part that was a great surprise was sway control with all that weight. 6 months later I retired, sold the tool box system, but left the product on the truck because we also pull our 28 ft. travel trailer (10,000 lb) with the truck. Don’t need the lift because of the weight distribution system with anti-sway, but the truck is much more stable on the interstate than it used to be. With no load I really don’t notice the ride is any worse when hitting a bump. I love it!
I own a 2020 F150 raptor, it lacks spring rate in the rear to hold up a lot of weight, other than that it’s a beast Pulling trailers.
Investigated air ride and I discovered It didn’t have the articulation that I needed.
The springs are the fastest way to have additional lift.
I can install them and uninstall them in minutes .
Great product.
I have been using Roadmaster Active Suspension for a year now. The product works as advertised and has greatly improved the stability of my F-150 pulling a 7500 travel trailer.

I have my RAS system for two years now and it performs as well the day I installed it.
Note, this will not fit my 2024 Silverado 3500. It looks like this would be a great helper spring, but my issue is due to inaccurate description and fitment guide.

Sorry to hear that. Is your 2024 Silverado 3500 a dually by chance? We do have options for trucks with the top overload springs, but the one you ordered is not compatible with that option. The ones that will fit do specifically say they will fit with the top overload spring, but I will need to know if you have a dually or not.
Good quality part & easy to install. Instructions were on point as well. Once I set the truck down I did a small test & jumped on the bed a few times. I can instantly feel the difference!!!
only drove twice so far. already feel great control of the rear end. much increase of positive traction, with very little drop. extremely easy installation! perfect step by step(with pics) instructions included. also easy to follow video, somewhere. I cant remember where I watched. not hooking up trailer till next weekend, after alignment. maybe I'll be back. overall the "active" concept in this product is exactly what an intermittent hauler wants. there is no feel of preload on leafs when not loaded. the product creates much better roll stability.

Night and day difference on our 2011 F150. Before installing the vehicle was almost undrivable at highway speeds due to bouncing/jerking when pulling our trailer. The bounce/jerk has been virtually eliminated since installing the Active Suspension. Installation was a breeze, hardest part was getting the wheels off the truck due to corrosion between the wheel and the rotors. Total install time was roughly 1hr 15 minutes including the stubborn wheels. Initially I was hesitant to order due to the price, but very happy with the results, etrailer also did a great job at guiding me through the process, shipping and answering a few technical questions along the way. Highly recommend if you need a little more spring/payload.
Straight-forward installation on a 2007 Pleasure way Excel RV (I did it myself in a few hours) although I did have to modify the air bag mounting bracket with a slot to allow RAS hardware to fit. Great installation instructions. Vehicle height is now correct and could be made level by tension adjustment during install. Handing is improved, I was able to remove aftermarket sway bar which improved ride. I have been considering installation of stiffer rear shocks to soften rebound now that the rear spring rate is increased.
Absolutely a game changer, had my doubts that this would fix my issue, but am very pleased with product

Still performing well, would recommend it for anyone doubting whether it will work or not
I have put these on every pickup that I have owned and not only does it assist with heavy loads, my tires have gone past 80,000 miles before needing replacement. All Chevy Duramax 2500's and 3500's!!
i installed these on my 2001 ford f-250 4x4 and this is a huge upgrade whether your towing or empty.truck rides and handles better than it ever has. easy straight forward installation. you will need a t-55 for the front bolt and a 12mm ratchet wrench for the adjustable bolt that tightens the spring and a couple of 22mm and a 19mm wrench or crescent wrenches for the jam nuts. i took the weight off of the leaf springs for easy adjustment of the coil spring and used the thinner of the two disc that came with the kit and it raised the rear of the truck up exactly 1 inch empty without a trailer connected. if you use the thicker disc it will raise it more.

I have had this installed on my van for a few years now and I was just reminded of them again when I got new tires put on. I was explaining them to the mechanic. He had never seen them before. I was giving a raving review and realized that I should be doing it here. I live at 6000ft on a mountain road and am constantly driving switchbacks. Before I had these installed I crawled down the mountain. It was literally scary. After they have been installed it feels sturdy and I can take turns easily. I can even avoid crazy deer jumping out in front of me without losing control of my huge van. There is NO way I could do that on a narrow winding road at an angle before. I have countless instances where I have blessed these simple additions for saving my van and ultimately the life of my children. Thank you so much for making these and marketing them. They should be standard in these larger vehicles.
