Air suspension lift?
is there an air bag suspension lift that will lift the vehicle like at least 6 inches. saw one done on a ram 1500 on tv just wondering how i could find the lift kit or if someone has done it. i have a 2008 ram 1500 4x4 quad cabso looking for one for that year.

You know I was looking at this setup not too long ago and i can tell you there is not "made" kit for a DR. They are all universal air bags and mounting plates or cups. The front isnt so hard but you have to know where you want you lift to be set at and do your alignment for that height. Anything less or more than that and just know your alignment will be off. And we all know what that leads to. For the rear a 4-link is needed to keep the axle in place.
I was really going to do this not too long ago as the price wasnt going to be bad for me because i was going to do my own fabrication and welding but I found a bigger lift and went in that direction. I wasnt trying to scrub the ground. I was going to use bags to lift also.

From what I've seen, they only make the "kits" for the 2500/3500's. I know Kelderman has a kit for the heavy duty trucks. The problem is they have a SFA and you have IFS.

Yeah but Kelderman is also only for 4wds. Mine is a 2wd so they wouldnt work for me but being the OP has a 4wd that might be his best bet. I really suggest he go rear and learn about the PSI needed, what pumps are better, duty cycles, what size line and valves, what kind of valves, moisture traps and everything else. There is a lot to it if you wanna do it right.
