19 RAM 1500 Limited - Battery Dies After Sitting Overnight

[kaedenr]

Hey everyone. Just purchased a 2019 RAM 1500 Limited with Air Suspension and now running into an issue where the battery is dying overnight. This didn't seem to be an issue the first couple-few days I had the truck. It'd start just fine every morning, however since putting a leveling kit on, this seems to be a consistent issue (coincidence maybe?). I installed a 2" leveling kit a couple of days ago and now both mornings since then, the battery has been dead when I go out to leave for work in the morning. It's also worth mentioning that I now occasionally get a "Service Air Suspension" message on the dash that goes away on it's own almost as quickly as it comes on. This happens probably 2-3 times a day, but I drive a lot. (Thinking separate issue, something to do with calibration maybe after the level kit?). Either way, really just wondering if there's any common battery draw type concerns with these trucks before I end up taking it to the dealer for the issue. Thanks in advance!

Original battery? Most OEM only last 3 years. My 19 was replaced in 22. I would start there. Also what leveling kit did you use?

I don’t think the air suspension has anything to do with the battery unless you are noticing the air system staying on consistently after powering off the truck. I’m guessing u did either a day star spacer lift and links or ready lift??

No battery is an O'Reilly SuperStart with a date sticker from a couple of months ago. Tests good.

It's actually a Tuff Country kit but it's a 2" spacer that goes on top of the air spring and then adjustable links.

Possibility of a nicked airline that is causing compressor to stay on in intervals? I'm not 100% sure about the air suspension, just thinking outloud lol
