1. Extreme care/caution must be taken to follow the steps of these instructions to prevent any air leaks or damage to the bags during installation.
2. The factory air ride is a closed-loop system. Opening the system more times than recommended in the lift instructions will require the system to be recharged (this can be done at any RAM dealer service department). A scan tool is needed to access the air control module to perform the service.
3. Frame bracket modification is required.
4. Fits 4WD models equipped with factory air ride only.
5. Stock 18 inch wheels cannot be reinstalled due to steering interference. Stock 20 inch+ wheels can be reinstalled with factory-size Tires.
6. Trucks equipped with factory 22 inch wheels must use the large bore steering knuckles.
7. Does NOT fit Diesel Models.
8. Will NOT fit models equipped with the Thermal Axle option. Reference build code DSK-P or check the diff cover for cooling lines mounted.
9. If using 18 inch wheels with maximun recommeded backspacing, Test fit wheels on Vehicle before mounting tires to ensure clearance
