What is the propose of this upgrade? You need it to level the truck when towing?

I think we need to know some more info. Are you looking to install a helper sensor system like Manny mentioned, or are you looking for a full system that replaces the struts and coils?

I have installed a lot of full air suspension systems on various trucks, but not on the new body ram yet.

Yes, I want to be able to level out the truck, and trailer while towing.

Well. Depending on the system you're going to choose, it will vary.
In general, installing rear air bag lift is not considered hard. If you know what you're doing and it's not your first time actually working on a truck, it shouldn't take more than an hour or so to complete.

Airlift has great products and if you go with one of the AIRLIFT1000 kits, it will be very easy to install and use. It's a simple system that you fill up like a tire, look this name up( airlift 1000hd) and see what other members of the forum have to say about this upgrade.
It's a good, simple system.

If you want to get crazy with it, you could do an Airlift 3H/3P air management with height sensors. That way you can have auto leveling when your running heavy.

Looks good.
But I'd go for the In-coil system for this price range...

Thanks Manny. I'm getting older but I do have some mechanical ability. I've rebuilt a few engines although it's been a long time ago, brake jobs, etc. I will give these air bags a try.

If you did all of that - this project will be easy peasy for you!
Good luck Glenn!
