Air Bags for 2014 2500

[stretch548]

Has any one have any input on an air bag system for the 2014 2500 Rams new to Diesels and Dodge truck and 5th wheeling

Ironically, I called my dealer yesterday and asked that very question. The 2500 can be ordered with the new air ride rear suspension, the 3500 is not available yet, at least the dual wheel application.

The heck of it is I got my 2014 in Oct and they still don't have the air rid option and no one here in Nv. can tell me anything with the truck with the new coil spring system

I just did a tow test on a 2014 1500 with air suspension. It is a very nice ride. The only pain was hooking up and mainly unhooking the trailer. The suspension tries to adjust as you add or remove weight on the ball. The nice thing is the truck is always level no matter what you add for weight.

since I all ready own my 2014 2500 ram with the coil springs in the rear what I am looking for is after market air bags for this truck

new member here. anyway. their is an air ride kit becoming available shortly from kelderman. just the rear bags and brackets they told me was about $800. u still need tank, compressor. valves.
I know I will be doing them as soon as kit is available. I already have a 12 cfm compressor and 10 gallons of air to install into truck. im gonna hook my bags up to a self leveling valve with dump option. really easy to hookup. I know air ride very well. worked with it several times with all the truck I have owned.

Has anyone put a 5th wheel on the new 2500? They still have no release date. Does it sag? Found a truck but still on the fence. 12 k off msrp for a Laramie... Hmmmmm

kelderman.com has the air ride kits available on their website now. ill be ordering the rear in a few weeks, the front I will be doing late summer. I just don't have the time. im gonna work on mounting my gauges, switches, air compressor, and air tanks next weekend. ill try to take some pics when I start working on it all. im hoping I get some time a few weeks after easter to install the rear air ride. it looks like a simple install..

VERY interested to hear your results! I actually just spoke to Kelderman yesterday about a full air ride kit for a 2014 2500 mega cab I am about to buy. Would love to hear some real world feedback on how it rides. I must say I was impressed with how the truck rode stock. Not all that much harsher than my 1500 which is factory air at all 4 corners.

refer to my other post. ill be installing the coil replacement kit from kelderman this Saturday. got a couple pics of my gauges and manual fast valves posted. ill be taking pics when I do the bag install.

I talked to Air Lift a few weeks ago and they said they would have bags that go inside the springs like they do for the 1500s. But did not have an ETA.

 

[BOSSsuspension]

BOSS air suspension have the airbag kit that fits next to the coil spring and also to replace the coil spring. The Bag-beside-coil is the most popular. They have had the kit since January. $300USD delivered to your door and add an incab compressor/ controller for $175. It gets shipped from canada

Last weekend I installed the new B & W hitch and with my 10k lb trailer. 2014 2500 short bed. Used a regular turnover ball system and the companion 5th wheel. It worked great. Only 1-1/2 inches of sag with the coil springs and the ride was very controlled. I would recommend to anyone considering aftermarket air bags to wait and see how the truck reacts with the trailer weight. FYI my 2003 3/4 short bed RAM dropped 3-1/2 inches with the same trailer. Who would have thought?
