RAM 1500 Air Suspension Conversion · Surrey BC
RAM 1500 Air Suspension to Coil Spring Conversion
Tired of recurring RAM 1500 air suspension problems? Dale's Auto Service can remove the factory air-suspension components and convert your truck to a conventional coil-spring and shock setup. Choose from practical replacement systems through upgraded performance suspension packages.
An Alternative to Repeated Air Suspension Repair
Remove the Problem Components Instead of Replacing Them Again
The factory RAM air suspension provides adjustable ride height and load-leveling capability, but repairing aging air struts, air springs, compressors, valves and related components can become expensive. A coil-spring conversion replaces the air-supported suspension with conventional mechanical springs and shocks.
RAM 1500 Air Suspension Problems
When a Coil Spring Conversion Starts to Make Sense
Some owners prefer to repair the original air suspension. Others reach a point where they would rather remove the air system and switch to a conventional suspension. We can help determine which direction makes more sense for your truck and your goals.
RAM 1500 Coil Spring Conversion Options
From Practical Replacement to Performance Suspension
There isn't one conversion package for every RAM owner. We can match the suspension to how the truck is actually used, whether the priority is cost, daily driving, towing, improved control or upgraded performance.
Before You Convert
Understand What Changes With a Coil Spring Conversion
Converting from factory air suspension changes how the truck's suspension operates. Our team can explain the available kit, ride-height expectations and how the conversion affects the features originally provided by the air system.
Air Components Removed
Applicable air springs, air struts and related components are replaced by the selected conventional suspension system.
Fixed Mechanical Ride Height
Conventional springs do not provide the same automatic adjustable ride-height function as the original air suspension.
Kit Fitment Matters
The correct conversion depends on the truck's year, configuration and the suspension package being installed.
Alignment Matters
Suspension work can affect vehicle geometry, so alignment should be checked and corrected where required.

RAM Air Suspension Conversion FAQ
Common RAM 1500 Spring Conversion Questions
Can I replace my RAM 1500 air suspension with coil springs?
Yes, conversion kits are available for applicable RAM 1500 configurations. The correct parts depend on the year and suspension setup, so fitment should be confirmed before ordering.
Why convert instead of repairing the factory air suspension?
Some owners prefer to keep and repair the factory air system. Others choose a coil-spring conversion after repeated air-suspension repairs or when they prefer the simplicity of conventional springs and shocks.
Will the truck still have adjustable ride height?
A conventional coil-spring conversion does not provide the same adjustable ride-height function as the original factory air suspension.
Will my RAM need an alignment after the conversion?
Suspension work can affect alignment geometry. Dale's can check the wheel alignment after installation and correct it where required.
Can I upgrade the shocks during the conversion?
Yes. Dale's can discuss standard replacement shocks or performance options such as Bilstein, FOX, Eibach and other available truck suspension products.
Will the conversion ride exactly like the air suspension?
No. A conventional coil-spring and shock setup operates differently from the factory air suspension. Ride quality will also depend on the springs and shocks selected.
Can you keep the truck near the factory ride height?
Depending on the truck and available conversion kit, there may be options intended to maintain a practical near-stock stance. Fitment should be confirmed for the specific RAM before selecting the package.
Can you build a higher-performance conversion?
Yes. Through Dale's Motorsport we can discuss upgraded shocks and related suspension components for owners who want improved control or a more performance-oriented setup.
Do you supply and install the complete conversion?
Yes. Dale's can help select the appropriate conversion package, source the components, install the suspension and perform the applicable alignment work afterward.
How do I get a price for my RAM?
Use the inquiry form above and include the truck's year, model or trim and the current air-suspension symptoms. We can then determine which conversion options fit the truck.
