Well I finally got to see this airrdie setup on a 3500 SRW Ram and it looks more like helper bags than actual suspension. The amount of leaf springs looks close, I didn't have time to count and measure thickness between one with and without the air. I thought it was more like a highway tractor setup with the airbags doing all the load, but does not appear so. Not sure if it's worth $1500 CDN unless your loading up to the max in payload.
The bags ARE carrying the load. The springs are there to control axle wrap and position axle.
There are two full length springs and two that go from the axle to the front spring support.
I feel the system is worth every $$$. The truck rides near level instead of AZZ high solo and rides level when towing no matter the weight up to RAWR. The ride is very nice.
The 2016 has a different spring setup with the level air, mine has 3 full length springs with a 4th one going to the front, guess they changed something on the 2016.
Interesting! I wonder if the long springs remained the same thickness?
I would like to know why the change. I run not too far from the RAWR and the truck performs extremely well.
