Important Notes
- Extreme care/caution must be taken to follow the steps of these instructions to prevent any air leaks or damage to the bags during installation.
- The factory air ride is a closed-loop system. Opening the system more times than recommended in the lift instructions will require the system to be recharged (this can be done at any RAM dealer service department). A scan tool is needed to access the air control module to perform the service.
- Frame bracket modification is required.
- Fits 4WD models equipped with factory air ride only.
- Stock 18" wheels cannot be reinstalled due to steering interference. Stock 20"+ wheels can be reinstalled with factory-size tires.
- Trucks equipped with factory 22" wheels must use the large bore steering knuckles.
- Does NOT fit Diesel Models.
- Will NOT fit models equipped with the Thermal Axle option. Reference build code DSK-P or check the diff cover for cooling lines mounted.
- IF USING 18IN WHEELS WITH MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED BACKSPACING, TEST FIT WHEELS ON VEHICLE BEFORE MOUNTING TIRES TO ENSURE CLEARANCE
- Included Replacement front brake lines (22545) do not work on 2025 model year trucks, relocation bracket is used instead. See instructions for bracket details
