Features to know about

Stay Level and Confident Under Load: 3,000-lb Rear Suspension Support

When the back end starts to sag under a trailer or heavy bed load, steering and braking can get sketchy. This RoadActive Suspension kit adds up to 3,000 lbs of support to keep your ride level and steady when towing or hauling. The variable-rated coil tension springs automatically adjust to your load—activating when weight is added and disengaging when unloaded—so your truck stays balanced without a harsh ride. With less squat and better traction, you tow and handle with more control and confidence.

RoadActive Suspension kit leveling a truck’s ride height under heavy load, showing balanced front and rear stance for improved traction and control.

Cut Out Axle Wrap and Wheel Hop: Mechanically Active Spring System

If you’ve ever felt your tires jump under throttle or your rear axle twist under a load, that’s axle wrap and wheel hop working against you. The RAS system converts your standard leaf springs into a mechanically active suspension that absorbs twisting force before it becomes wheel hop. The integrated tension springs distribute the load’s energy evenly through the leaf pack, keeping the rear end planted and reducing stress on shocks, shackles, and tires.

RoadActive Suspension system installed on a rear axle to prevent axle wrap and wheel hop under load, showing enhanced stability and control.

Reduce Body Roll and Sway: Reinforced Leaf Spring Control

With a heavy trailer or camper pushing from behind, sway and body roll can make every curve feel risky. This setup strengthens your factory leaf springs so they resist twisting or flattening under weight. The result is tighter cornering, less rocking in crosswinds, and smoother highway tracking. You’ll notice the back end stays in line whether you’re navigating mountain grades or passing semis on the interstate.

Install Once and Forget It: Bolt-On, Maintenance-Free Design

Some suspension upgrades need constant adjustment or air checks—this one doesn’t. The RAS heavy-duty kit comes fully assembled with corrosion-resistant, epoxy e-coated steel components that bolt right onto your factory leaf springs using existing U-bolts. There’s no drilling, cutting, or welding needed. Once installed, it’s completely maintenance-free with no monitoring required, giving you lasting support without the upkeep.

RoadActive Suspension unit fully installed on vehicle leaf spring, showing bolt-on mounts for easy installation without drilling or welding.

The RAS system is amazing!!! The previous owner of my 2011 Ram 2500 had taken the lazy route while "leveling" the trucks stance. They'd done a "reverse level", which greatly degraded the trucks towing capacity. The RAS System has regained the lost 2 inches in rear ride height, added stability, and control. Empty or loaded, the ride and handling are greatly improved. Can't wait for our first road trip with our new toyhauler.

I highly recommend the Roadmaster Active Suspension for your tow vehicle. This is the second kit I've owned. The is no better overload system made. The kit acts like a rear sway bar, traction bar and overload. No more heavy body lean. No more wheel hop. Best part is that when your not towing, you don't feel like the kit is there.
by:
This product has worked well for me. I have used this on previous trucks towing a camper. It helps level out the load on the truck. This product does not work on trucks with top overload springs. Unless you remove the top overload springs. If your vehicle is still under warranty taking off the top overload spring may be a problem. But this product has worked well for me on a half ton truck.

2014 Dodge Ram Pickup
Had these put on 3500 Ram diesel. 8’ box with Northstar Igloo, 14,000 lb total. The overload springs are not ideal for much on truck. With truck camper they are no good. I have put the truck camper away for winter before a easy install. You difinitly need need a full height lift so I to take it in. I set it at 40%, the most. The ride empty with 10 lbs in air shocks is not bad at all, just stiffer I did notice sharp bumps more but is not bad and I am happy. Short box could be different. The truck handles empty way better like on rails no sway in fast corners.kinda fun. If you went with 20% softer setting I do not think it would be noticeable at all for empty, lighter loads, or shorter box. Wish I could of have a loaded review.

installation was very easy took more to remove the tires and jack up the truck than to install the roadmaster, only wished they had said that the 2mm spacer should be used for a 3500 ram hauling a 40 foot 5th wheel but there again I should have figured it out, have not had it on the road yet so will let you know how it tows

I have 04 dodge 2500 ram. This doesn’t does not go on as simply as all the YouTube videos suggest for this yr truck. Did not find out until reading instructions when product arrived. You have to drop rear spring shackles to attach the hook part of the kit. Disappointed in lack of ease.

What an awesome addition to my truck (2017 Ram 3500 DRW). I have yet to haul my fifth wheel with the RAS, but as far as an empty weight ride it really smooth out the truck. I did not let my bride know that I added this system to the truck, she commented on the smooth ride on her first outing in the truck. Allison K. from e-trailer is very awesome, if you call into a trailer ask for her, she will answer all your questions and help you out.

I haven't tested the RAS with towing yet, but it does help with regular driving around corners even with the Hellwig torsion bar / sway bar installed. The trailer hitch is the "Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV - 2" purchased from etrailer.

I'm glad to hear you're already feeling the difference with the RoadActive installed! What are you planning on towing/hauling that you wanted extra support for?

by:
2013 Ford F-150
I bought these after a 1000+ mile trip towing my trailer (~8000# loaded) with my 2013 F-150 (HD Payload & Max Towing Package). Installation was super easy. I did not need to take the tires off. There was plenty of room to get behind the tires and place and adjust the springs. Once installed they definitely give the truck a rake. I didn't measure pre-installation because I didn't expect the lift to be so great. I used the black disc to adjust the springs.
It's not too extreme but you can definitely see a difference compared to stock.
As you can see in the pictures, with the springs the drop with a trailer attached is greatly reduced and the truck sits level. Towing was great. I used a WDH before and being able to with springs only and a sway bar is pretty nice. Drop with trailer attached is only about 2.5 inches (see pics)

I still think these springs are one of the best aftermarket purchases Ive made for this truck. Obviously, different trucks will give different results, but for me not having to hassle with a WDH I just use a sway bar makes all the difference. Before the springs, I would towwith a WDH and sway bar and constantly felt the trailer behind me or felt I was floating in the front end. These springs have *almost* completely eliminated that. Amazing difference.

Purchased for a 2018 F150 to assist with towing a 6000lb RV travel trailer. The heavy duty model is too heavy duty. With the pre-loading as light as possible, the unloaded ride is stiff. Would recommend the standard model. With the travel trailer (using an Equalizer brand weight distribution hitch), the ride and stability was much improved over just the factory leaf springs. The rear of the truck was raised over an inch. Installation was straight forward. A little bit of guessing as to the pre-tensioning and if they are matched left and right. Would love it if the design could be changed such that it was easy to "snap on" when needed and "snap off" when unloaded. Maybe some sort of lever system would make this possible. Overall, they did what they are designed to do - assist the truck in being more stable when under load and less squat. I ended up trading the Ford for a Toyota which has coil springs so I passed on the RAS to the new owner of the Ford.

1-year comments - As mentioned, traded the F-150 for a Tundra. RAS did make a noticeable difference in handling of the travel trailer and body roll of the truck even when not towing. I can only guess but would recommend going with standard model over HD as ride was stiff with light load in the truck and not towing. Upgrading the suspension on the travel trailer made the most difference in overall stability. New slightly higher rated leaf springs, Morryde equalizer, and wet bolts, combined to greatly lessen the body roll of the trailer which led to a much more stable drive especially with side wind loads. RAS is nice and worked to give the F150 more strength for when towing or when more heavily loaded. So still give it 4 stars.

@Richard Upgrading your trailer suspension is the ideal way to reduce body roll of the trailer and get a better towing experience! The MORryde CRE3000 or AllTrek 4000 are my go-tos for any suspension upgrade. Thank you so much for the update and happy towing!

2017 Ram 3500
This is my second F150 with an RAS installed. With RAS, my 2023 F150 2.7 Supercrew (with HD payload package, rated to tow 10,100#) tows my 6000# Airstream completely level with no squat and no issue when paired with a WD hitch. And yes, I've done the same tow without RAS and would prefer not to do it again. Absolutely an improvement over stock with minimal impact to daily driving. It does raise the rear about 1-2" but nothing the average person notices and I forget about it all the time. I'd like a leveling kit to help raise the front/reduce the rake a bit but then it wouldn't tow level anymore so that's the compromise. The RAS does exactly what it claims to do, at a fair price, and maintenance free (no airing up or down etc.) The only improvement that would be better would be trading up to a 2500 or 3500 but that's not the daily driver experience I want for the 80% of the time I'm not towing. I did buy again when I traded in my 2017 and would buy yet again if I got another half-ton.

Received the package very quickly.
Installation is easy for the DIYer.
Have already used the Road Active Suspension on my F150. Stabilized the body roll of the truck while towing My travel trailer. Coupled with weight distribution and sway control system the conventional tow travel trailer was as stable as a 5th wheel tow. Haven’t had a chance to tow yet with my F250 but expect the same results. Like others have said it does not change the ride of the empty F250.

The RAS is a great addition to the stock leaf springs on my F250. I have in the past year towed my 36’ Jayco travel trailer from Ontario to Nova Scotia and from Ontario to South Georgia. About 1700 miles total. From the 400 series highway the Trans Canada highway and the inter state highways the RAS along with the Fast Way E2 weight distribution and sway control system, my bumper tow is locked in and stable. The RAS reduces body roll on the tow vehicle eliminating the magnifying effect body roll has on the sway of the trailer. No white knuckling in cross winds or passing transport trucks on the interstate highways. Highly recommend to compliment the rear truck springs for towing heavy loads.

I was a little concerned when they arrived as there was no instillation directions in the supplied literature. There was Ford, Dodge etc but nothing related to a 2023 Silverado 1500. I forged ahead using the universal instructions that were supplied. All turned out well. The instillation went much easier that expected. This is the second time in a month that I have ordered from etrailer.com. EXCELLENT fast service with lots of follow up on tracking etc. THAKS to all etrailer employees.

Installation was pretty easy. I am not a mechanic and it was straight forward. I would say that the pictures included in the installation instructions are not detailed and don't show a good close up. Including a video QR code would be way better.
Otherwise, the vehicle sits a bit higher and the back end seems more solid.

2023 Dodge Ram Pickup
Installed this today on my 2023 Ford F150 Lariat 4x4 with the tow package. The kit arrived within 2 days of ordering. The box was slightly open but the springs appeared undamaged. I elected to do the install myself and opted to get a 4 ton floor jack to replace my very old 3 ton. I’m very glad I did. After blocking the front tires and setting the parking brake, I loosened the wheels and raised the rear at the differential using a small 2x4 block to span the contact points. I took the wheels off and originally set my jack stands in front of the leaf spring on the frame. Lowering the truck onto the stands was not effective. There wasn’t enough travel to provide relief to the springs. I ended up setting my jack stands on some 1x16 scrap pieces and put them under the spring attachment point. This gave me just enough room on my floor jack to unburden the springs. Once I got over this small hurdle the install went smoothly. This took about an hour to very carefully construct as I didn’t want to drop my brand new truck on the ground. Brand new 5 ton jack stands would have eased my mind considerably. My install includes a spacer for the bump stop to offset it towards the centerline of the vehicle. The instructions weren’t intuitive and it took a few minutes to figure out the bolts. You need to insert the provided bolt into the spacer and attach the spacer to the frame with the original bump stop bolt. It’s the only one you can get a socket on in the depression. The bump stop then attaches to the provided bolt you inserted into the spacer using the provided nut. You will need a deep well 15mm socket for this attachment. Fortunately I had one. I set the spring using the 25% white spacer, reinstalled the wheels and set the truck back on the deck. The truck now sits 3/4” higher in the rear. I drove around and noticed that I was sitting a little higher as the site picture changed a bit. The truck didn’t seem to ride differently empty. If anything it seemed a little more cushioned though no less responsive. I towed my 9000lb travel trailer previously with a Ram 2500 6.7l diesel that had Sumo springs and a WD hitch. I got tired of the cost and maintenance and selected this Ford because it could haul the trailer. I chose the RAS over the Sumo springs because of how much squat I observed when I hooked up the trailer initially. I will update after I tow the trailer. My only concern at the moment is that the bump stop spacer isn’t going to provide enough clearance from the bracket.

Been a year now and I’ve pulled my 9200lb arctic fox trailer from Illinois to Halifax NS and back. The tongue weight was 870lb and the payload weight of the truck was maxed out from the Ford towing program and the CAT scale. The weight distribution hitch and this allowed for a very smooth ride even in the rain. The only issue was when the crosswinds were more than 10mph. The winds coming home out of Canada were 30mph and that was anxiety inducing especially coming across the mountains. Without the RAS I wouldn’t have even tried it. This was necessary to level the truck and have it track. I bought the trailer TPMS also because a blowout at that weight leaves no margin for error. Get the RAS for your light duty truck but don’t ignor your max weights. The rear axle weight was the limiting factor without the RAS and the WDH. The only drawback is the Ford headlight leveling sensor on the rear drivers side axle sits awfully close to the clearance of the shock and careful positioning is called for.

by:
Finally decided to try the RAS system for the truck since I bought a bigger camper. Ordered it hoping it would get here in time for an install before our new camping trip. Arrived in plenty of time! Opened it up and went through the instructions and got to the install. So, advice…read instructions from start to finish before starting! LOL. I thought they sent the wrong parts and then I read the instructions completely and then said, oh yea, forgot that part. Ha ha. Anyway, there's always a better way to do things based on your situation and vehicle. So after a few different attempts, finally got my groove and install went just fine. As always…take your time, double check everything before tightening down! Anyway, completed the install and then took it for a quick drive. Real happy with it! Felt substantially like it can handle more weight. Will be trying it with the camper next week. Again, thanks to the etrailer peeps for getting it to me on time. Since Murphy's Law resides in my garage, I wanted plenty of time to do the install right…and they delivered! Literally. Thanks again and will look forward to the next order.

I have heard nothing but good things about these enhancement springs so I bought a set. Very easy to install if you have any mechanical ability at all. Haven't used my truck to pull out 5th wheel RV yet but I will in a couple of days. I have a 2500HD it seems to have soften the ride a little. It doesn't make sense but prior to instillation it rode rough like it should, but the springs seem to help. IDK

Installed on my 2016 F-150 XLT. Truck Only Report: I'm very pleased with my unloaded truck ride. My truck now takes bumps much better and feels like it hugs the road better. On my wife's first ride, she said, "It feels like it rides smoother." I agree.

Although I have not towed my travel trailer yet, we will next week, when I hooked it up to my truck, all of my measurements are much better. With my WD hitch connected, all of my truck measurements are very close to equal to the unloaded, pre-RAS, measurements. In other words, with the trailer attached, much truck sits almost exactly at factory unloaded level. I'm really looking forward to giving a good run next week.

  • Best Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2013 Ram 2500
    Hey Gary, the kit you are actually looking for is the Roadactive part # RAS3613-HD for your 2013 Ram 2500. This gives you all of the support you are looking while actually improving ride quality loaded and unloaded unlike any other option available. Also unlike the other options the support from this kit is adjustable so you can really tailor exactly how much you want. This is by far your best option and exactly what you are looking for.

  • Recommended RoadActive Suspension Kit For A 2022 Ram 3500 With Factory Air Suspension
    This is actually something I have spoken to RoadActive Suspension about before and I can say for sure that there is no issue with the Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3613-HD fitting your 2022 Ram 3500 even with the Factory Air Suspension and single or dual rear wheels, so it's adaptable. These are also American made and are a pretty quick and easy install, so that's a big plus. However, this does not fit vehicles with factory top overload springs, so that is something to keep in mind.

These will attach to the leaf spring instead so you won't have to worry about spacer compatibility. Note: The # RAS3613-HD do not fit vehicles with factory...

  • Determining Correct RAS Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit Fits 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 2WD
    For your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 2WD Pickup I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - Heavy Duty # RAS3613-HD which is confirmed to fit your truck as long as you do not have top overload springs. This kit has a 3000lb load leveling capacity, but will also reduce sway and eliminate axle wrap giving you a better loaded and unloaded ride. If your truck has the top overload springs you will need to go with a different style of suspension enhancement. In that case I...

  • Can RoadActive Suspension for 2018 Ram 3500 Fit With Firestone Air Bags
    There isn't anything that would prevent the RoadActive Suspension kit part # RAS3613-HD from installing on your 2018 Ram 3500 that also has a Firestone air bag kit # F2615 installed as well. The two kits will both fit without any interference from the other. What I would do is remove the air pressure from the bags at first to see how the suspension performs with just the RAS kit and then as needed add air pressure. Most likely you'll find that you won't need any air pressure, or if so it...

  • Will RAS Leaf Spring Enhancement Work With Air Helper Springs On 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 To Stop Sway?
    I would be happy to help! First off if the weight of your truck bed camper exceeds the payload capacity of your 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 then no suspension enhancement will fix the issue and your only option would be using a truck with a higher payload capacity. Suspension enhancement does not increase the capacities of your truck, and only supports your suspension while it is working within its capacities. With that said as long as your air helper spring kit bolts to the axle and not the...

  • Suspension Enhancement Kit for 2014 Ram 3500 that Will Improve Ride Quality

  • Will the RoadActive Suspension System Fit a 2021 Ram 3500 with Factory Air Suspension
    I reached out to my contact over at RoadActive Suspensions and he reported that they've seen no issues with the Roadmaster RAS # RAS3613-HD interfering with the factory air suspension system. I really love the added support these systems give without having to adjust constantly after installation like an air bag system. The thing you will need to pay attention to on your suspension is whether or not your 2021 Ram 3500 has the top overload spring; as long as you don't have the top overload...

  • What Suspension Enhancement Kit for 2012 Ram 2500 will Give Best Ride Quality
    Hey Eric, typically when running the minimum air pressure in a Firestone air bag kit the ride quality isn't affected at all. I am pretty sure you didn't mean to type 5,0000 PSI but in case there was some confusion the minimum PSI is 5 to keep the bags from deforming and damaging themselves. Now if you were running 5 psi and you did still want to go to a different suspension enhancement setup the best option will be the Roadactive kit part # RAS3613-HD for a kit that actually improves...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2016 Ram 3500
    There are some combinations of suspension enhancement components that can fit together but what we have found is that if you are still experiencing sag on a 3500 truck with one kit installed you probably are exceeding the towing capacity of the truck. The absolute best solution I can provide is the RoadActive Suspension kit part # RAS3613-HD which will give you the support you are wanting, is adjustable, and improves ride quality and handling.

    The RoadActive Suspension # RAS3610 is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Ram 3500 SRW as long as you have the 3 inch wide springs.
