How many owners have had issues with their air suspension?

Sure, but it sounds like the issues with your truck are not just about air suspension. I don't expect many members to post about issues with air suspension on 5th gens. I've only seen a hand full of people post about having problems with it. Hopefully others will chime in with their opinions and experiences with it. Good luck with your decision.

Hi everyone,

I have a question for all members who have a 1500 with factory air suspension:

Who all have had issues or failures?

I own a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn with factory air suspension. I currently have no issues with the air suspension, but am trying to get an idea of system longevity. My truck is a 2019 with only 10,300 miles on it.

Since my truck has been a problem child since day one and the bumper to bumper Mopar extended warranty will end in 2026, I am thinking of trading the truck before an expensive air suspension issue happens that I get stuck paying the bill for.

Thanks in advance to all who respond!

I have 2015 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 which had air suspension. It failed in 2022 with about 110,000 miles on the truck. When it failed there is literally no suspension at all and is not safe to drive as told by the mechanic. I was told it would be very expensive to replace the air suspension, so I went with the standard suspension which was also expensive.

Your 2015 was a 4th gen. My comment was concerning 5th gen 1500’s since this is a 5th gen forum. I can understand your decision to avoid it when you replaced that truck, as there were a lot of issues with it on 4th gens. Ram redesigned the air suspension system for 5th gens, and while there have been failures, the failure rate is nowhere near as high as it was on 4th gens.

119,000 and no issues so far. I also have it leveled with links/ spacer. when it goes i will go the air delete route. My biggest gripe is the bags cannot handle much of "off road" conditions. recently driving in packed snow has been a rough ride. very jarring and harsh impacts. but it is a fun long distance driver on highways. i expect for mine to fail sooner than later being leveled and on 35's
