Heck, I watch and I don't even own a Ram!

[@johnowens6361]

I found a 2019 ram 1500 Laramie longhorn. 85k miles for 32$. Good deal or no? Great videos

[@EdwardKumits]

@@johnowens6361not really, there’s one for sale atm in Chino CA for 35k 1 owner 36k miles

Justin, good to see you again, it’s been awhile. Glad to see the lift kit went on fairly smooth, minus minor hiccups and it looks great. Nice work. Take care my friend.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Thanks Jim! Good to hear from ya. It’s been holding up great since the swap. I sure miss the air ride for hooking up trailers, but overall very happy with the new set up.

[@jimlove3795]

@MrJustinWheeler that's where the air ride comes in handy when towing. It levels out the truck after the trailer has been attached. Take care sir.

[@intelmike181]

Really enjoy following the channel and your High Mileage Ram journey. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I appreciate it! Thanks for tagging along.

[@upshifter5316]

Dude is actually pretty damn funny. Nice work man!

[@mikeherbert4194]

Did mine a month ago and went to 35s with no issues. While I miss the air suspension functions, these Eibachs are much more comfortable with an awesome ride.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Yep, same here. I miss the adjustability, but don’t regret the swap one bit.

[@Ryan_2914]

Have you guys towed anything heavy with the switch? I feel like I need to change out my rear airbags they are getting sad and soft when I put a little weight in the back. Unsure about doing the switch. I was also thinking about adding more air suspension help where the bump stop is to help level it out when towing.

[@DIDZ2]

I recently took your advice and went the delete kit and honestly I couldn't be happier!! It's an awesome kit and a straight forward install. If it wasn't for you I would have ended up forking out over $6K at the dealer fixing the air suspension! Thank you sir!!

[@JohnDoe-jd7mf]

How much was the kit?

[@AirDelete306]

Awesome install video Justin! Quick tip for others installing this product - if you unbolt the sway bar end link in the rear, you’ll get the axle to drop quite a bit more and it will be significantly easier to get the rear coils in without a compressor. I thought we had that in the instructions but I’ll check tomorrow and get it added if not.

[@xCL2x]

If I want to go with billstein kit with upgrade rear springs would I go 2” or 3” lift on my front? Its a 2019 ram rebel Im wanting to air delete

[@Crunchy_McBurst]

I bought a 2020 Ram 1500 Limited because of your journey. Completely happy with my purchase.

[@PrestonTocco]

Great video as always Justin! When are we gunna get a look at that transmission fluid!?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

If you want to know the secret… I stripped the trans pan drain bolt while attempting to take a sample. That was a few weeks ago. I’ve since gathered some additional tools and am going to re-attempt it soon. 😅

[@PrestonTocco]

@MrJustinWheeler oh boy lol. Well, I will eagerly wait to see an update on this. My 19' Ram has 93k miles and the trans is a smooth as ever, so I'm probably not going to mess with it, but can't help but be curious how this "lifetime" fluid holds up over 250k! I'm honestly amazed that you have not had any transmission issues, it's quite incredible.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

@@PrestonTocco yeah I’m impressed myself. Especially considered how many miles of heavy towing I’ve done with it. But it hasn’t skipped a beat yet.

[@TheNewenglandboys]

Another great video on the HMT. I’m glad mine doesn’t have the air ride but this was interesting as all your vids on that truck! Good job!

[@oldgoat3371]

For you and anyone watching I did same lift on 2018 4th gen Rebel after 5 years of no problems they started first rear airbag then front not worth the trouble or money to keep fixing I love the new ride did an alignment and running true 35 s no problems could not be happier and never have the worry about a dropped suspension when I go out to the truck

[@TheZman214]

Love to watch your videos as I always encounter the same problems you come across. I have the same exact truck year and model and last month the dealer just replaced my engine at just under 80K miles due to a ticking sound that turned out to be failed lifter and metal shavings all in the ocv. And now I am experiencing the air ride problems.. really thinking about going with this kit..

[@Bore_Punch]

Glad you let that paint dry a day to maintain proper structural integrity.

[@miguellomejoral1005]

Hey! Don’t throw away the other coils so when you take off all your tools you can put the other pair so it keeps the level! 😂😂

[@TruckCentral]

Honestly not a bad idea 😂

[@richiesfrenchies8951]

I did the same thing installing the air delete suspension system on my 2022 Ram. It rides a little rougher but not bad. Main thing is it’s reliable.

[@jasonfalk7696]

Looks great!

[@g-man_knifedude2146]

Great vid man always looking forward to them. What kind of tires you running ?

[@MichaelE-c2i]

After two years with a ram limited with factory Air suspension and a readylift 6in lift with 37in toyos had been flawless.

[@juvenalmata8439]

Did you just throw a lift kit for a non air ride model onto your limited? Curious since a lot of these air suspension delete kits don’t really have anything that changes the plugs or cancels them out for the air ride Would love to know more about what you did to your truck

[@MichaelE-c2i]

@juvenalmata8439 Mine was a factory air suspension on the limited. Readylift kit has a 6in lift kit for rams with factory air ride.

[@carlosssb]

I have this kit on my truck, night and day differences, ive battled issues with the front not being level with both sides causing a lean but other than that, its been great. I need to do the rear spring update as well as mine sits higher in the front

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Agreed. It’s been really nice. And I loved the air ride.

[@carlosssb]

@@MrJustinWheeler which rear springs are you running now for towing, my truck squats with a 400lb 4 wheeler 😭

[@casmithc2]

Justin, how many miles are on the truck?

[@Davedimmensions]

I laughed out loud. "Alright we're back the next day"

[@JJJ5.7]

Justin glad youre back? Is this one old? Doesnt lookmlike fall there.

[@Jan-VH]

always looking forward to your videos. You can go on for another 50 000 now. But please install a new cap for the sparetire release. haha then the truck is back like it should.

[@1BadRAMLimited]

How did u get the truck to register no air on board and clear codes etc??

[@rjmendoza]

I just bought a 2024 ram. (V8) and I’ve been trying to catch up with your mods

[@Deke1]

How's the ride comparison between the new shocks and springs install and the air ride system?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

It’s pretty comparable. It’s hard to say which one is “better”. I was worried prior to the swap about the ride quality feeling rough after the air delete. But that’s not the case at all. It’s a very good, smooth, ride.

[@raulrojas3974]

I really appreciate your videos i have a 2019 limited with 170,000 and i tow every day I will probably have to go with the air ride delete sooner or later can you please tell us about the ride quality with the air ride delete thank you have a blessed night

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Ride quality is very comparable to the air bags. The only difference is the loss of ride height adjustability.

[@raulrojas3974]

@@MrJustinWheeler thank you

[@RaceGasSmellsGood]

How's the ride quality on the street compare to your air ride when it was working properly? Thanks for posting all of this!

[@alexgrech4420]

What do you do for front end alignment does the kit come with new specs

[@gsdreagan109]

This is an awesome kit! Do you notice any difference in the ride of the truck? Is it better or worse?

[@Hemi2247]

Did pulling the fuses out give you a light on the dash that you now have to deal with?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

The programmer they sent with the kit allowed me to override that light. So nothing on the dash.

[@SimpleManFore]

How does it handle your Gooseneck trailer compared to your air ride?

[@juvenalmata8439]

“Theoretically” would you be able to just throw a lift kit for a non air ride Ram 1500, on an air suspension model?

[@fantasticmike946]

I was wondering where you been.

[@aldocarrasco1125]

Did you max payload improve with the heavy duty rear coils?

[@austinkeen4577]

Out of the mods someone could do, this is easily one of them.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Yep. It wasn’t too bad.

[@toddwheeler3301]

Very cool

[@ronaldlipp1293]

what did you do with air compressor and old air lines?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Left them on the truck. I would technically put the air ride back on pretty easy if I ever wanted to in the future.

[@homemedia9024]

How many miles on your truck before you had an Air Ride suspension issue?

[@DmitryIve]

Wen 250k update?😁

[@trailslug893]

How's the ride quality vs the air bags?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Ride quality is very comparable to the air bags. The only difference is the loss of ride height adjustability

[@genobrown3600]

How much is the system?

[@jordanwalter4381]

7:15 drop the sway bar.

[@sappersapper4077]

How is the ride quality now?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Ride quality is very comparable to the air bags. The only difference is the loss of ride height adjustability

[@LAncegtavicer]

Is it necessary to cut off the bumpstops?

[@DalesDeadBug]

Yeah it is. Different spring rates between the air ride and coils. You want to make sure the bump stops hit before the shocks would bottom out.

[@LAncegtavicer]

@@DalesDeadBug makes sense thanks for the reply

[@Orr_s]

Let that cure for 3 hours, alright we’re back the next day😂☠️ i dont think Henry was appreciative of the hilarious humor here…i hope my damn 2021 limited air stays strong. I hear it purging air way more often than it used to before and compressor seems to run more often🫠 update 2 mins later “i was born that way” about the one nut on the shock…not even a slight chuckle😂 hes seen enough of ya shit
