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.
Heavy trailers, full beds, gear piled high, it all changes how your truck handles. Without the right support, you feel it immediately: sagging in the rear, poor handling, and a ride that gets unpredictable fast. This air bag system puts you back in control with up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support it helps reduce squat, improve steering response, and keep your truck stable when the weight stacks up.
Every haul is different, and your suspension should keep up. Alpha HD Pro air springs give you full control over ride height and firmness with adjustable air pressure from 5 to 100 psi. Driving unloaded? The built-in jounce bumpers let you safely run at 0 psi for a smooth, factory-style ride with no harsh rebound. Hooked up to a fifth wheel or hauling a bed full of gravel? Add air to level the truck and keep handling tight. With manual inflation valves included, tuning your suspension for the day's load is straightforward and dependable.
Air bags are only as strong as their weakest link. That's why Alpha HD Pro bags are reinforced all the way through with heavy-duty end caps, 20 internal support wires, integrated jounce bumpers, and powder-coated steel brackets. Toss in 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 DIY-er. 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 Pro 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.

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Pacbrake Alpha HD Pro air bag suspension kit with the internal jounce bumpers for your rear axle. Has a 5,000-pound load leveling capacity. Now this is a custom-fit part. It is designed to fit the 2002 to 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks, both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Now this will work for all trucks, including those with fifth wheel hitches, but it will not fit cabin chassis vehicles.
Now on a custom fit part like this, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now these air bags are designed to help you stay level, drive steady, and stay in control when hauling heavy loads. The kit will include everything I laid out here on the table, includes the air springs here for your rear axle, upper lower roll plates, the precision laser cut powder-coated steel brackets. Comes with the Grade 5 plated hardware, the air lines with the inflation valves. Up here we have the push-to-connect fittings installed that you hook your air lines to.
And it comes with installation instructions. It'll describe how this all goes together. Now basically, when your trailer's loaded, the bed is full, your truck's gonna need more than just the stock rear springs to stay level and in control. That's where these Alpha HD Pro Air springs come into play. They'll add up to 5,000 pounds of rear axle support, helping your truck stay steady and secure through every haul.
Now whether you're pulling a fifth wheel, hauling materials, or towing equipment, this upgrade is gonna keep you from sagging, squatting, and struggling for control. And also bottoming out doesn't just feel rough. It could wreck your air springs. That's why this kit here, this system includes, I mentioned the jounce bumpers that are inside each spring. So even with no air pressure, your suspension has a built-in safety net.
Basically, you could safely run at zero PSI when you're unloaded, which means no harsh rebound, just a nice smooth factory style ride. And also one load isn't like the next. That's why this Pacbrake gives you the freedom to adjust the air pressure from 5 to 100 PSI. So if you need full support for a loaded trailer, you just pump it up. If you're unloaded and heading home, drop the pressure for a smoother ride. So with the simple manual inflation right out of the box, you're gonna get better ride quality and confidence, no matter how much you're hauling. And you can start with simple manual inflation and then expand your system later with onboard air wireless controls 'cause this Alpha HD Pro is designed to scale with your setup, making future upgrades easy without redoing your foundation. Now this isn't light-duty here. Let me just zoom in here and I can show you up close. This Alpha HD Pro system, the springs on it are built with one-inch thick end caps on each spring, and then in the spring itself, they use 20 internal wires to handle extreme loads without giving in. The parts are corrosion-resistant parts. The roll plates we mentioned, the upper and lower roll plates, they are designed for protection in the spring. And then the powder-coated brackets will also ensure that this system holds up through road salt, rain, mud, and even over time. Now this is designed to bolt to factory mounting points on your truck. This air spring kit installs with no drilling or welding to your truck. And these air springs will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity so you do wanna make sure not to exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight limit. But that's gonna do it for a look at the Pacbrake Alpha HD Pro air bag suspension kit with the internal jounce bumpers for your rear axle.
Easy to install and looks like it’s a high-quality product
haven't received or used it yet but pretty darn excited
The brackets are not built heavy enough
Easy install. Will pull trailer 3000 miles on vacation and see how it performs to Montana on highways and Forest Service roads.
good product , good strong solid metal parts and heavy bags. The instructions were not so hot but was easy to figure out and quick delivery !
Where to start I have 1500 pounds of tools in my 150 Chevy had them installed and it totally changed the ride and handling of the truck haven’t pulled anything yet but I’m amazed on how different the truck is already I Baught the ones with the bump stops in them the HD ones
I'm Vincent J,
My experience with loading my truck and seeing the difference with these air bags from PacBrake, it does look way better and the truck feels a bit more stable running atspeed limit (65mph) after that it does feels jumpy if you go over potholes, but overall I'm happy with the product, thanks Etrailer,
2020 Ram 1500.
Installation is fidgety with lining everything together for the upper bracket with u-bolt(reason for 4 stars), but still preferred over cutting the bump stop mounts off. Replaced the Timbrens with this and it is night and day difference in ride quality both unloaded and towing.
Would purchase again.
Product is well constructed and installation is straightforward. But you cannot build the kit and slip it in, you have to leave the top bracket off and install it after setting the lower bracket and air bag in place. I will note, I was working off jack stands and a floor jack, not on a lift.
