Question:

I have a 2017 Crew Cab short bed Ram 2500. It rides like tank when unloaded. Im looking to enhance the vehicles load capacity and stability with an air bag system. However, this truck is only a part time towing vehicle, like many others out there. Being that ride quality is just as important to me when the truck in not towing, how is the ride effected with the AirLift # AL88289 Air Bags, when the truck is unloaded and no air is n the bags? Thanks.

The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers part # AL88289 could potentially affect the ride quality in a negative manner if you were to hit a dip or pot hole in the road while unloaded because of the internal jounce bumpers which is why I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57289 instead. There will be very little to no effect on ride quality while unloaded and using these airbags. Please keep in mind that the airbags will need to have at least 5 psi at all times to reduce deformity but again this is not enough to affect unloaded ride quality.

I have attached an install video for you as well.
