The nose of your 5er in pic looks a tad high or just the way you have it parked when pic was taken?

Thanks for the info. I finally ended up going with the Airlift 5000 system with the Wireless One compressor system. I did do research and the firestone for the coil sprung rams does indeed require you to drill two holes in a very difficult location despite what Firestone claims.

The air bags supplement the springs. You do not remove the springs according to the instructions. I have the Firestone Ride Rites on my 2008 Ram 2500 CTD and installation required no drilling. I did read the 2014 instructions and they say drilling is not required. Installation looks pretty straight forward. I like my Ride Rites and they have helped the ride and level the load well.

Airbags are great at leveling the load. As far as improving the loaded ride, it may or may not help substantially. If your load is heavy enough that the jounce bumpers are contacting regularly then you will probably notice an improved ride. If you are substantially off the jounce bumpers and they rarely contact, then I doubt you see much of an improvement.

This is my observations. YMMV. Good luck. Keith

So you're saying that springs run as smooth with no load vs loaded?
