Rear spring help

[FaKtor34]

Thank you all for the reply’s! I still have no idea which to go with. Before getting this far into the weeds, I put a deposit on the RAS system just because it was so much more economical. After reading everything I’m curious if it really is the best option.

If you want flexibility, aka being able to quickly add it or remove it based on needs the RAS is better than the air springs, if your good with it being setup and left the air springs are your best option. It will limit some flexibility if you do anything major off-road, if it's a work/family truck and won't see much off-road then you will probably be happier with one of the other options like air springs,etc.

I went back and forth on this decision all weekend, called and spoke to 2 different shops. In the end, I decided to go with the RAS system. I’ve put about 150 miles on it since I’ve gone to the system and so far I’m very happy with the decision. I’ll get pictures of what my drop was pre-RAS and post-RAS as soon as I can. Everyday driving I notice very little difference other than I don’t feel the truck roll as much. It’ll be interesting to see what the difference is with the trailer.

For you guys that got the RAS, any reason to get the SD over the HD?

I ended up getting the SD, only because for my specific need I did not need the HD. The two shops I talked to said I’d notice the HD version a little more on daily driving even if it were turned all the way down. I can’t speak to it specifically, but that’s what I was told.

I went with the SD mainly due to their description. I was sagging 1.5" and they recommended the SD for 2" or less. I'll check it out more in a couple weeks with the 5160s and try to see the difference between them and the eibachs

I had the Readylift Readyair installed this past week and the shop didn't have any issues with the install. I did supply them with the height sensor relocation kit. I haven't driven the truck much since the install but so far I am pleased with the ride quality. I always have 800-900 pounds loaded with my topper, etc so I like the idea of being able to adjust rear height as needed. I'm planning on getting the truck out more Memorial Day weekend to test everything a bit more.

I ordered the HD kit but wont have my truck for about another month. Once I get it I'll test it out with and without. If there's anything spicifc you want me to measure or test let me know.

Just installed my load lifter air ride kit. Went on in a few hours and it rides good still. It helped with body roll around turns on my test drive. I have yet to tow with them but with having air ride on my previous trucks I'm confident it will be a much improved experience over stock. It does seem to sit a tad higher in the rear now though

Which model load lift air ride did you go with? What is the part # if you don't mind sharing 93355?
