WHY RAM OWNERS CONVERT

A practical alternative to repeatedly repairing aging air suspension.

Repeated air suspension faults Air springs, compressors, valves, sensors and air lines can all become potential failure points.
Truck sitting low after parking Air leaks can allow one corner, one axle or the entire truck to settle.
Cold-weather reliability concerns Air systems can become troublesome when components age or moisture and temperature extremes affect system operation.
High cost of repeated repairs Depending on the failure, replacing multiple factory air suspension components can become expensive.
Simpler long-term suspension Conventional coil springs and shocks eliminate many air-system components.

COMMON RAM AIR SUSPENSION PROBLEMS

Signs your RAM 1500 air suspension needs attention.

Truck Sits Low

One corner or axle may sag after the vehicle sits for a period of time.

Won't Raise

The truck may fail to reach normal or selected ride height.

Suspension Warning

Air suspension or ride-height warnings may appear on the dash.

Compressor Runs Often

Excessive compressor operation can indicate an air leak or system fault.

Uneven Ride Height

One side or corner of the truck may sit noticeably lower than the others.

Harsh or Unstable Ride

Suspension faults can affect comfort, handling and tire wear.

CONVERSION OPTIONS

From straightforward replacement kits to upgraded performance suspension.

Value Conversion

A straightforward coil-spring and shock conversion designed for owners who want to eliminate the factory air suspension at a more economical price point.

Premium Street Setup

Higher-quality dampers and spring combinations can improve ride control, durability and everyday driving performance.

Performance Upgrade

Premium shock options including applicable Bilstein, FOX, Eibach and other suspension solutions can be matched to how you use your RAM.

PREMIUM RAM SUSPENSION OPTIONS

Want more than simply replacing the air suspension?

Dale's can also build the conversion around higher-performance shocks and suspension components. Depending on the truck and intended use, options may include Bilstein, FOX, Eibach and other quality suspension brands.

Daily-driver comfort Choose a suspension designed for controlled everyday ride quality.
Improved damping control Premium shocks can provide better control over bumps, expansion joints and rough roads.
Truck-specific setup Suspension recommendations can consider wheel and tire size, accessories and normal vehicle use.
Alignment after conversion Dale's alignment specialists can set the truck after suspension work is completed.

REPAIR OR CONVERT?

Not every RAM with an air suspension fault needs a conversion.

Some air suspension faults can be repaired effectively. For trucks with repeated failures or owners who no longer want the complexity of the factory system, a coil spring conversion can be a practical alternative.

Inspect the existing system Determine whether the fault involves an air spring, compressor, sensor, valve or other component.
Compare repair vs. conversion Consider the current failure, overall system condition and long-term plans for the truck.
Select the suspension package Choose an appropriate conversion based on budget, ride quality and vehicle use.
Install, inspect & align Complete the conversion and verify suspension geometry and handling.

Can you convert a RAM 1500 air suspension to coil springs?
Yes. Applicable RAM 1500 models can be converted from factory air suspension to a conventional coil spring and shock suspension system.
Why convert instead of repairing the air suspension?
Owners often consider conversion after repeated air spring, compressor, valve, sensor or air-line problems. A conventional suspension removes many of those components.
Is a coil spring conversion cheaper than replacing the air suspension?
It can be, particularly when several factory air suspension components require repair. The best option depends on the truck's condition and the conversion package selected.
Will my RAM still ride well after the conversion?
Ride quality depends heavily on the springs and shocks chosen. Dale's offers different suspension options ranging from value-oriented setups to premium performance components.
Do you offer Bilstein, FOX and Eibach options?
Applicable premium suspension options may include Bilstein, FOX, Eibach and other brands depending on the truck and desired setup.
Does the truck need an alignment after conversion?
An alignment is recommended after significant suspension work so ride height, steering geometry and tire wear can be checked.
How do I know which RAM 1500 conversion kit I need?
Conversion fitment depends on model year, drivetrain, trim and factory suspension configuration. Contact Dale's with the VIN so the correct application can be confirmed before ordering parts.
