Heavy trailers and bed loads can make the rear end sag and the front rise, throwing off steering and braking. The RoadActive Suspension kit adds up to 2,000 lbs of load support by turning your factory leaf springs into a mechanically active system. The variable-rated coil tension springs automatically adjust to the weight you’re carrying, keeping the truck level and the tires planted so you maintain traction and control whether you’re towing or hauling.
When cornering or hitting uneven terrain, sway and body roll can make driving tense. This setup strengthens your leaf springs to stabilize the truck before sway even starts. It absorbs load force energy instantly, reducing side-to-side motion in turns or gusty wind. The result is smooth, predictable handling when you’re towing a camper or loaded down with gear.
Under heavy torque, standard leaf springs can twist and cause wheel hop that kills traction. The RoadActive Suspension system stops that by reinforcing the spring pack with coil tension springs that absorb rotational force. It keeps your springs bowed and your tires gripping, preventing bottoming out and extending the life of your shocks, shackles, and tires.
Every truck carries weight a little differently, and this kit lets you set it up just right. During installation you can adjust each spring to between 25 percent and 40 percent tension using included spacers. You can even fine-tune each side independently to level off-center loads like toolboxes or lifts. Once set, there’s no maintenance or monitoring needed—just steady support every time you load up.
This fully assembled kit bolts straight onto your existing leaf spring hardware using the factory U-bolts. There’s no cutting, drilling, or welding required. Heavy-duty epoxy e-coated steel construction resists corrosion, with brackets rated for over 800 hours of salt spray testing. It’s a solid upgrade that installs quickly and keeps working for the long haul without adjustment.

Well It has not failed me yet. Being basically a spring under load all the time I am assuming the spring will stretch some over time and I will have to adjust tension accordingly. The pickup sits nicely on the thinner washer setting so I am leaving it there and hopefully that will help the system last longer.

Looks great, Les :) I hear lots of good this about this option for suspension enhancement and how you said, even without towing it can improve the ride quality. Glad to know that you are happy with them, too! do you have any upcoming camping trips planned?

That's a long trek, so I'm glad these helped you along the way! Do you take that trip often, Elden?

What can I say. After a year of constantly driving through Texas roads and highways. I have moved twice and loaded the bed of my truck plus U-Haul 6x12 trailer and thy truck has not felt the load of it. The Active Road Suspension Leaf Spring is constantly sort of speak sensing if theres load so it can actively push it upwards. I have even driven up to the crazy roads of Pennsylvania and my pick drives smoother than when I got it from the dealer. Im telling you these things work. As any cautious driver upkeeping his own vehicle, I have periodically checked the bolts and location of the resistance in between the spring and it has not deflected or moved from its original installation. I believe every pick up must have these. It beats constantly putting air on the air bags especially in inclement weather like up here in Pennsylvania with the snow. I couldnt be more satisfied with this purchase. Thank you etrailer for offering this superb product.

After a year I am still pleased with this product. I had been adjusting the spring tension higher when towing and then back down after a trailering trip, but now just leave it adjusted to the trailer towing tension as the unloaded ride doesnt seem to suffer when the springs are tighter.

Still working great. Towed a Flaggstaff microlite 23LB Travel trailer prob between 5 and 5500 LB’s to Niagra Falls with no problems, truck sat level with trailer and 2 adults,2kids. Getting ready to make a 2,000 mile round trip to disney in florida in a few weeks.

OMG!! I have done extensive traveling with my trailer over the last year and the RAS system has made a huge difference in sway, road buffeting and squat. I can’t imagine not having this on any vehicle that tows!
