Exclamation Durango 2.5inch lift. suspension help!

My shop was told by dodge, that the lift (http://www.rocky-road.com/wk2-lift-kit.html ) can not be installed because my 2012 citadel has air suspension. It does not it has load leveling correct?

Quote from rocky road - "Also included are shock mount relocation kits so that full suspension travel is maintained and vehicle load leveling systems are not altered or upset. Our system retains your factory springs and shocks so your ride quality and load capacity are not diminished."
Can someone back me up please?

That kit should be fine.
All they are is spacers and shock extenders.

Ya that's what i thought, im going to tell them to go ahead with it even though some "mechanics" at dodge said it wont work ...think their confusing it with air suspension, that of the jeep GC.

Calling rocky road later today. These mechanics think because its computerized its just impossible to go on. They aren't getting that the load leveling shocks from trailer/tow package will still work with this spacer lift it only alters the angle the car is leveled on. Hopefully I'm not the one wrong here, and there is no problem when it goes on.

Why did you decide to lift? I would love to see how it looks And if ride quality is worse.

Durango's are pretty low from factory, and as you can see i live in Canada where the annual 2 meters of snow may show up in your drive way. This lift and 32" tires will make it alot more capable!...and badass also ride quality is the exact same as the lift is a spacer style lift so all shocks and rear load leveling shocks perform the same. Dozens of jeep drivers have done this to their GC
