Question:
I have a 2014 ram 2500 4 wheel drive. I am considering putting air ride suspension in due to vehicle sag when hauling my 30-foot gooseneck that is rated for 14,000 lb. Not sure if I need to go with the 7500 lb or the 5,000 pound system. What would you recommend.

Expert Reply:
Hi Shawn, I'd go with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88289. These springs are going to give you plenty of load leveling support without making your suspension too stuff. The 7500 XL # AL57589 is designed for really heavy duty loads, so with your trailer being 14,000 lbs I think it'd be overkill.

I appreciate the reply and you pretty much confirmed my thoughts on the weight rating. Just one other question if you don't mind, is there a particular reason why you recommended the Airlift over the Firestone?
