Hello...new member here from Minnesota. I've got a 2017 1500 Limited I just deleted the air suspension on. Background: last October the rear pass side dropped on the way home from a 5 hour trip up north. The suspension had been acting "strangely" prior to that but this was a considerable failure and made the remainder of the trip both challenging as well as unsafe. The next day the bag reinflated and after checking codes, I had a number of suspension related failures. We made an appt for a few days later to get it to a dealer and of course at that point, it was working fine. We opted to skip the appt and of course a week or so later, I had similar issues/codes come up. The dealer took it in and diagnosed the issue as a bad compressor costing me just under $2K. Fast forward to December and during a super cold snap on Christmas eve day, I had the same issues. Take it back and after 2 days they find "moisture" in the system, add a "drying agent" and I pick the truck up (no cost this time) and within a week, I'm back to the same issues. Now I'm pissed, completely mistrust this system as well as question the competence of the dealer. Two days later I get the call that one rear bag is leaking along with a leaking manifold but they'd recomment replacing both rear bags at another $2900! The truck has 145K miles on it, is my main transportation, other than the air suspension I love the vehicle. I plan to keep it maybe another year or two but the 2 grand in October and now another 3 grand was just not going to happen. I opted to cut my losses and looked into the kits to replace the air with std coils/shocks and struts. I ended up purchasing Rancho Quick Lifts for the front which level the truck, Cargomaxx variable rate coils in back (35% added cargo capacity but stock height) and Gabriel monotube shocks. I looked at the Monroe conversion kit but felt i could maybe get a little more bang for my buck piecing it together myself. I did watch the Monroe video though and one of the things that caught my eye was the cutting of the rear jounce bumper extensions. I did cut mine off and purchased a GM jounce bumper off Amazon that bolts up into the jounce bumber bracket and measuring the new jounce bumpers to the old ones I cut off, the new bumpers are about 1-1/12" shorter which seemed good. Anyway, driving at highway speeds and hitting dips etc, I'm "bottoming" out on the new jounce bumpers. I went to the Ram dealer who was very helpful and see the standard Ram's have a completely different jounce bracket. I measured the standard ones and see there's about 4" of travel when sitting between the jounce and the axle plate. I went back and cut my new ones down to approximately the same clearance. Thoughts?
