Dodge Ram Air Suspension Question

Anyone have the Dodge Ram 3500 with the Auto Level Air Suspension System?

If so, how do you like it? Is it only for the Rear suspension? Where is the compressor located? Is it fully Automatic or can you adjust it manually?

Any info would be helpful as thinking about ordering a 2016 Ram 3500 and debating about this option!

Thanks ahead of time!

Thanks for the reply. I decided not to get that option. It costs over $1500 and I could add my own air bags for about $200 and get the same results.

If you wait for the 2016 models they are uping the torque to 900 , :-) one complaint on the air ride system is that you cant dump the air from the bags to hook up to the trailer

900 pound feet, great. A canoe is never too light and a truck never has much power. Now Ford and GM will haft to follow.

I ordered a 2016 3500 dually today. Now the hard part....I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for delivery!

They tweaked the Cummins to 900 lb. ft. of torque, 16 bolts in the rear end gears for greater strength and over 31,300 lb. tow rating. Taking the lead with the Strongest truck on the market now! Sweet!!
