Take control
of heavy loads and towing duties with the BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling
System for 2009-2018 RAM 1500 pickup trucks. Designed to fit trucks from 3.5-4
inches of lift, these systems are engineered, tested, and manufactured in
Coldwater, Michigan by BDS Suspension to deliver dependable load support
without compromising suspension performance.
Unlike
traditional air spring systems, the BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling System
features a rubber-isolated lower air spring mount with an innovative design
that allows the axle to separate from the air spring at full suspension
extension. This unique setup maintains maximum suspension travel while
protecting air spring components during off-road use and uneven terrain.
Built for long-term durability,
each kit includes heavy-duty air springs designed to safely operate at zero PSI
when unloaded, providing a smooth factory-like ride when additional load
support isn't needed. High-quality DOT-approved nickel-plated brass air
fittings and DOT air brake line ensure reliable performance and leak-free
operation, while the included tee fitting allows both air springs to be
connected to a single fill point for simple pressure adjustment.
BDS simplifies product selection
by offering a single part number for each application. Rather than multiple
options, every BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling System is equipped with the
largest air spring and highest load-carrying capacity package that can be
packaged within the vehicle. Operating within a pressure range of 0-125 PSI,
these heavy-duty air springs generate enough lifting force to support loads
that exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended payload capacity. However,
it is important to note that while the BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling
System can help level and stabilize heavily loaded vehicles, it does not
increase the OEM Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), payload rating, axle
ratings, or towing capacity of the vehicle. Always operate within the
manufacturer's specified weight limits.
For the
ultimate towing and hauling experience, BDS recommends pairing this system with
the BDS129006 onboard compressor system and optional RAM 1500 mounting bracket
(BDS132803) for a clean, straightforward installation and convenient in-cab air
pressure control. To further enhance vehicle stability and control under load,
add a set of FOX shocks. Engineered to provide improved damping performance,
FOX shocks help reduce body motion, improve handling, and deliver greater
confidence when towing heavy trailers or hauling substantial payloads.
Together, the BDS Performance Towing Load Leveling System and FOX shocks create
a complete suspension package that sets a new standard of performance for
towing and hauling.
