Removing Load Stops When Installing The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs # AL88365

Question:

Hello, I own a 2018 Ram 1500 4x4 and I am interested in purchasing an Air Lift 5000 Ultimate. I have seen on youtube many people install the air lift 5000 made for Ram 1500 trucks where you did not have to remove the bump stop assembly. The kits I have seen you remove the actual bump stop but you attach the airlift 5000 upper mount to the bump stop mount via a u bolt. Do you have these kits? Could you send me a link or part number.

With the newer model Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs # AL88365 they have internal bumpers. This makes for a much cleaner look and works just as good if not better than the factory bump stops as it protects your bags from over-compressing. That being said, there is no benefit of keeping the factory bump stops on the vehicle when installing the LoadLifter system besides not having to remove them.
