Video Transcript for An In-Depth Look at the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit-RAS4511-T
Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today we're gonna take a look at the Roadmaster Active Suspension custom leaf spring enhancement kit. Now this is a custom fit part, and it is designed to fit the 1986 to 1995 Toyota pickups, the 1995 to 1997 Toyota Tacoma, and the 1998 to 2004 Toyota Tacoma excluding the pre-runner. Now to confirm if these are going to work for your vehicle, take advantage of our vehicle fit guide and input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will let you know if these will work for your vehicle. Now when towing or hauling a heavy load, you may encounter a number of problems that can make your driving experience difficult or dangerous.
Such as sway, body roll, or bottoming out. When your vehicle is weighted down, your factory leaf springs can't counteract these problems to the extent that they're supposed to. The weight will overpower the leaf springs and cause them to twist or flatten out. When that happens, they cannot support, level, or stabilize your vehicle effectively. Additionally because your factory leaf springs are passive, they won't begin to tackle problems such as sway until those problems have already started.
Now this kit will convert your vehicle's factory leaf springs into a mechanically active suspension system. It'll actively strengthen the leaf springs for improved ride quality with or without a load. And this all in one suspension system will improve stability, handling, and control. It will eliminate axle wrap, wheel hop, and bottoming out, and it will reduce dangerous sway and body roll when you're cornering. And it will even keep your ride level when you're towing or hauling a heavy load, improving your traction while breaking and accelerating.
It does use these variable rated coil tension springs, which will automatically adjust your vehicle's load. They activate immediately to support the extra weight, and they'll disengage when unloaded, allowing your leaf springs to perform as intended. They can be adjusted during installation to accommodate your towing or hauling needs, and they're independently adjustable for side to side leveling of any off center loads. These will help extend the life of your leaf springs, your shock absorbers, and your shackles, and even your tires. They are made in the USA and are constructed of a durable epoxy coated steel.
And the corrosion resistant brackets on the ends of each of these units have a salt spray rating of more than 800 hours. This is an easy bolt on installation so there's no drilling, no cutting, or welding required. This I bracket will wrap around the top of the factory leaf spring eye, and then the unit will secure under the leaf spring and around the factory U bolts. They arrive as you see them. Fully assembled, and the hardware is included. And these are maintenance free. Adjustments and monitoring aren't needed once they're installed. The weight capacity is 2,000 pounds. However, it is important to note that this kit will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..
