I am wanting to be able to lower the rear of the truck on command for loading a stretcher / cot in the back. Will this system provide that?

I spoke to my contact at Firestone and they informed me that the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit part # F2595 while installed on your 2017 Ram 1500 will lower the rear of the truck while deflated to the minimum pressure which is 5 psi but they were not able to say how much.

In order to lift and lower the rear of the truck on command you will want to install a compressor kit for which I recommend using the Firestone Air Command I part # F2097 as it has a heavy duty compressor that will allow for you to make frequent adjustments in the system. The kit comes with an in-cab lever that will allow you to fill and deflate the airbags.

I have attached an install video of the airbags and sample install video of the compressor kit.
