More Pictures of RAM Air Ride Suspension

Here are a few more pictures of my Suspension system on the 2015 RAM Laramie I just bought.

I just got the truck back from Ziebart early this morning, I had it under coated and rust proofed.

Sorry but these are about as good as it's going to get until it warms up a little more here and I can try and get decent shots. I tried to get pictures showing more of the suspension from the axle and forward of it.

If you closely in this first shot you can see the controller linkage for controlling the truck's level.

    Is this the 2500 or 3500,as they both have different air suspension.

    Edit. Disregard, I see the dual wheels and the monospring.

    the front part of the spring has more leafs to stop axle wrap, the rear part is to locate the axle side to side


    a panhard (track)bar is to locate the axle side to side

    Interesting the way they cut some of the leafs off (at the axle) in one direction but allow them to extend the other.
    Is there anything under there to reduce axle wrap other than the few leafs? Panhard bar?

    I just finished installing Firestone Ride Rite's on my truck yesterday. Yours is similar in many ways but different. Looks real heavy duty. Enjoy the nice new DRW truck.
