why do you have to relocate the air suspension tank on the older 2013 to 2018 trucks? You are just replacing leaf springs with leaf springs! I get if you have amp steps but I don't have amp. I looked all over your site and don't see this explained! Its not explained in the instructions either. loosing your spare tire mount is nuts given the extreme price of these kits!
The air-tanks are relocated as they interfere with the mounting of the Carli Radius Arm Drop Brackets. You can't run an oversized spacer so that area is worthless to you unless you're planning to run the factory wheels and tires. If this is your preference, it may be better to modify the air-tank bracket to work with the radius arm drops to maintain your spare tire.
@@DanTourino thanks! My 18 3500 are is a tow rig only. Zero off roading. I just want better ride with least amount of lift. I see the updated rear springs only add 1in lift vs 2in for the non air ride trucks. Which is perfect for me. I can add some thuren 1 in springs to front and be done. Yes I only have 35in nitto tires so I still have my spare tire and want to keep it.
@@crazyhass84 35" tires will contact the spare's side-wall to the rear differential at full bump. With the airbags in the back, you're unlikely to ever see full bump (especially as you said no off-roading) but these are all special circumstances. I'm sure it now makes sense WHY we consider the spare worthless. This system is designed for off-road & oversized tires to be run to full bump without contacting the spare.
@@DanTourino agreed. Thanks for the clarification! As u know, most roads in America r as bad as off roading! Thanks to pathetic govt that funds constant wars but not infustructure! Hence, me wanting this system on my 18 tow rig that is a payment princess. I just want 1in lift vs 3.25 to save fuel. Thanks!!
Hey excellent tutorial I’m thinking of getting a Ram 2500 with 6.4. But it has the coil setup instead of leaf springs. Have you come across any problems with this suspension. I would look to beef up the suspension.
I would rate the ride quality VERY similar. Both boxed frames, both long arms in the front on corrected pivot points, both leaf spring in the rear. The caveat, the Ford would be equipped with our Long-Travel Airbags in the 4.5" lift and a softer leaf spring. I think the Ram would haul better (being a 1" shorter lift, heavier spring pack and factory double-bellow airbag) and the Ford would ride better. When we come out with our long travel airbags for the non-air rear 3500, the playing field will level. I prefer the ride of the 3500 without the airbags - our full spring are lighter and long travel airbags ride better than the factory option. The factory air is only the best option for people looking for the massive payload these trucks offer.
The lift will not void any warranty aside from the parts it's directly replacing. If a shock blows out, they're not going to cover that but they're not going to deny warranty on your injectors because you've lifted the truck.
any idea what was changed with the rear axle on the 3500 HO? i heard they went to an AAM 12". We need a rear locker for this axle. ARB wont make anything with out some interest from owners...
I have a 2019 Power Wagon running 37x12.5r17s. How do you guys feel about the OEM steering components on the 19+ vs Synergy's Tie Rod and Drag Link for 37s?
The OEM is extremely strong. We've not seen ay need to seek an aftermarket alternative in the 19+. We actually recommend those with issues on their 14-18 upgrade to the 19+ drag link.
How high does this lift the rear? I’ve heard and read both 1” and 2.5”. Hopefully it’s the latter. I have this exact truck and threw on a 2” spacer in the front for now to fit bigger tires, and that has already put my front end .5” to 1” higher than the rear and it’s driving me crazy. If this kit raises the front 3.5” and the rear only 1”, it would be even worse. (Kinda kicking myself for ordering the factory rear air to be honest) Any impact to payload numbers with this kit installed?
This kit raises the Front 3.25" and the rear 1" keeping the rear end 1/2" taller than the front. Payload is unaffected given our air-assist specific spring pack and the factory airbags are maintained.
@@DanTourino Weird...measured to the center of the wheel well, my (stock) rear measures 42", while my 2" lifted front measures 42.5" on one side and 43" on the other. Removing my level and applying this kit would then seemingly put the rear at 43" and the front at ~44.5". I must be missing something.
The rear height isn't determined by it's relationship to the front, there's a leaf spring pack on the 3500s and a height sensor that determines the rear height. This system has a full leaf spring pack, aig bag spacer and sensor relocation that extend travel and set the rear end 1" higher.
@@sheepdog819 Decisions, decisions... Our vote would be a Cummins with a 3" System, Torsion Sway bar and lockers + winch if PW style shenanigans are in the plan.
I drive a stock Cummins and yeah there take off isn’t as fast as a turbo v8 powerstroke/duramax but I prefer a Cummins cause it’s a real Diesel engine. That’s why most semi trucks use straight six engines over V’s.
Kody Wauneka the powerstroke/duramax were designed around their gas engines which is why he is saying they are not “real diesels”. I too prefer the I6 over V layout. In the end, they are all big boy trucks that can pull down half a forest!
Justin Brown so the Cummins V8 in the Titans isn’t a real diesel? You Cummins boys with your 80s “6 In a row” logic is the reason why no one takes you serious anymore
