Video Transcript for Review of Pacbrake Vehicle Suspension - Alpha HD Pro Rear Air Bag Kit Jounce Bumper - PB49VV

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Pacbrake Alpha HD Pro Rear Axle Single Convoluted Airbag Suspension kit with internal jounce bumpers. Now this kit has been designed for your 2003 to 2013 Dodge Ram 2,500. Then your 2003 to 2018 Ram 3,500 two-wheel drive. Then your 2006 to 2008 Ram 1,500 and 2,500 Mega Cab two-wheel drive.

And then finally your 2006 to 2018 Ram 3,500 Mega Cab two-wheel drive. I do wanna point out that these are not going to fit with the 3349 and the 3319 Super Glide Fifth Wheel Rail kits on rear wheel drive vehicles. Now 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 kit will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. So as you know, when the load gets heavy, your truck is going going to need more than just your rear springs hanging on for dear life.

So these airbags are going to add up to 5,000 pounds of rear axle support, keeping your truck level and steady even when the trailer is loaded, the bed is packed, and the miles are long. So no more rear end sagging throwing off your braking and steering or headlights pointing up into the sky. Now bottoming out doesn't just feel rough, it can wreck your airbags. That's why this system includes internal jounce bumpers inside each of these bags. So even with no air pressure, your suspension is going to have a built in safety net.

You can safely run at zero PSI when unloaded, which means no harsh rebound, just that smooth factory style ride. Now every haul is going to be different, as you know. That's why these air springs give you full control over the ride height and firmness with adjustable air pressure from five to 100 PSI. So hauling a fifth wheel or a full bed of gravel is not gonna be any problem because you can just crank up the pressure and then when you're unloaded and heading home, you can drop the pressure back down for a softer ride. With the included manual inflation valves and airlines tuning your suspension for the day's work is gonna be very easy and very straightforward.

So extreme hauling is going to demand extreme durability. These springs are built with one-inch thick corrosion resistant end caps that you really can't see because I do have these loosely assembled and in between these plates here, so the one-inch thick end caps are really going to keep these the integrity intact along with the reinforced 20 internal support wires giving you maximum strength under that load. And then these roll plates that I mentioned, these are heavy duty roll plates that are gonna actually protect the bags from chafing and extend the lifespan. And then these powder coated custom fit steel brackets are going to fight back against rust, road salt, and rough season. So if it's bitter cold, it's the scorching heat or the mud slick job site, this system is made to outlast whatever the road is going to dish out mile after mile and load after load. And I have dealt with several other brands of airbag systems and this in my opinion, is probably the most premium that I've come across. The bags are made of very premium material, they feel robust. And then with our custom fit brackets here, the powder coating, it's top notch as well. So, again, probably the most premium top tier airbag system that I've come across here from Pacbrake. So these precision laser cut brackets are designed to bolt cleanly to your Ram's existing mounting points without welding or drilling to your frame. So you'll just use the included hardware and this kit is going to be designed to work with your setup right now and wherever your upgrades may take you later on. So you're gonna be able to inflate manually with standard air valves right out of the box. No extra parts needed. But if you already have an onboard compressor, these are gonna connect easily to most existing setups. Or if you're planning for an in cab wireless controller down the road, that's not gonna be an issue because you're laying the foundation with this kit. It's gonna be very easy to expand your control options when you're ready. So again, this is going to give you a load support up to 5,000 pounds of additional leveling support, but I do wanna make you aware of the fact that these do not actually increase your weight carrying capacity of your truck. So you wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit. Instructions are included to guide you through the installation process. And if you do decide to pick these up, we would love to hear back from you regarding how the installation went and how these are working out for you.
