Troubleshooting Not Enough Room Under Frame of 2016 Ram 3500 to Install Air Lift LoadLifter Springs
Updated 09/18/2018 | Published 09/17/2018
Question:
I am trying to install the assembly on the frame but dont seem to have enough room to move the assembly into place ive jacked the differential up so that the tires are slightly suspended but there still doesnt seem to be enough room. Should I release the shocks? Any help would be appreciated.

Expert Reply:
The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57295 referenced in your question are confirmed to fit your 2016 Ram 3500 as long as the truck has rear leaf springs. With the truck jacked up, make sure you are first unbolting and removing the factory jounce bumper from under the frame (or from the bracket that is welded to the frame). This needs to be removed before installing the brackets and springs so that there is enough room for the assembly.
If you already did remove the jounce bumper and are still having issues fitting the spring, please let me know and I will be happy to look into this further. If you are able to send me pictures of your current setup that will also be helpful in determining why the needed clearance isn't present.
