    Overload warning 3500 factory air suspension

    Not sure why the pics didn’t attach the first time.

    Overload warning 3500 factory air suspension

    Even with this setup it actually still sits a bit ass high empty. If I put a 2” block in the rear and above the airbags it would sit way higher and have a serious rake again. This is probably why the place that did the lift for me only used 1.5” rear blocks. I know the airbag lift was at the...

    Overload warning 3500 factory air suspension

    Yup could be a problem but It sits nice and level with or without a load and for 50000 miles it carried a load that almost maxed its GVWR right to pin but just stayed legal with two guys in it. And it was never run in alt height and did fine. But now I’m over the GVWR so will have to do some...

    Overload warning 3500 factory air suspension

    You got me curious so I just went and took real measurements. The front leveling is a 2” spacer on top of the springs. The rear blocks are only 1.5” tall and the airbag lift is actually 1” hockey pucks between the brackets and the frame. And the front bump stop gap is 1.25” at the front of the...

    I’ll take a look aT adjusting. There is definitely a leveling kit. It’s actually a 2” lift. Spring cups in the front, blocks in the back and the airbags have blocks as well. They’re all the same height so everything should be equal I think. But maybe some adjustments are required.

    Overload warning 3500 factory air suspension

    I got my camper off today and my unloaded bump stop gap is definitely more than 5/8”. I’ve got an inch for sure, maybe a smidge more even. Alt height definitely set the bumps stops onto the overloads but I wouldn’t say I’m level in Alt height, my ass is actually a little low compared to the...

    I’m not real sure what the gap is prior. I never paid attention to them until I put the camper on. I’ll be removing the camper in the next day or two so I will check then. I think it was around an inch before I put in alt height mode but it already had the camper on at that point and failed to...

    Overload warning 3500 factory air suspension

    when I first managed to drop into alt trailer height it didn’t sit on the bump stops. But it has settled onto them now. And the bump stops are the same as posted so I guess it’s all normal. Torklift makes a device called StableLoad to replace the bump stops and activate the overloads sooner but...

    Tire size is 35x12.5x20. I know I know that’s probably too big for a camper truck but it’s only a camper truck 20 days a year. It’s my main vehicle for the other 344 days lol. I’ll take a pic tomorrow of my bump stop but there’s probably close to 3/8” gap still while it’s loaded. But my bump...

    Overload warning 3500 factory air suspension

    I know the 12 ply won’t change much but I can run higher tire air pressure at least, my tire shop recommends 80 psi in the rear and my 10 ply rating is only got to 65 psi. My 2022 Ram requires 80 psi according the air pressures required on the door label, I can only find 12 ply in the tires I...

    Overload warning 3500 factory air suspension

    I’ll definitely weigh it and I’m sure you’re right that I’m at the limit of weight. It’s an AF811 so it’s definitely heavy but the guy I bought it from had the same truck, minus the OEM airbags, and he also pulled a cargo trailer with a couple bikes and gear in it. I know he was overweight as...

    Overload warning 3500 factory air suspension

    Oh and I didn’t try alternative height. I was worried if I did that it might not stop bleeding the air and then maybe wouldn’t pump up again. But I do see the lower overloads you mentioned. I wonder if I could put a bigger bump stop on those to?

    Overload warning 3500 factory air suspension

    SRW short box. I’ve had some very large loads in it before and this is the first I’ve seen this warning light. I had to Google what it meant even. I haven’t weighed my set up yet as I just put the camper on a couple days ago, but the camper is dry, like I mean no fluids and not a single thing in...

    Overload warning 3500 factory air suspension

    Look at that! This is what I was kind of looking for and couldn’t find. I assume they’re easy to remove and swap around? I only need it when the camper is loaded I would think. Do you know if a sway bar can be installed with the factory airbags still?
