Compared to the factory air suspension system that can cost up to $6,000 to repair, the Monroe conversion kit is a more cost-effective option. Additionally, the Monroe conversion kit is easy to install, and with proper tools, the conversion can be completed for under $1,500.
DO NOT USE STRUTMASTERS. They offer a Chinese made product that wears a made in America mask.
Monroe is a reputable and established company that offers high-quality suspension conversion kits. These kits are designed to provide a stable and comfortable ride, restoring the factory ride height and handling of a conventional suspension system. The Monroe conversion kits are a budget-friendly option that provides premium-quality replacement components.

Update 1/11/2024: The front shocks gave out after about 80,000 miles. I think they were a great deal & lasted about as long as I expected given the abuse I put them through towing cross country.
I upgraded to Bilstein & lifted the front end 1.5” in the process. The airbags are holding up great but I should have purchased the heavy duty option which I didn’t know existed as they are only a little more expensive.

I did this same conversion on my 2014 Ram, i used the HD Air Lift bags. It seams to help with not so heavy loads. But im am making the switch to the Tuftruck 1223 coils. Just figured id share that with you if you are experiencing any sag with towing.
I should of ordered the HD Air Lifts too but I didn’t know they existed - should of done more research before shopping for this unexpected project.
I’ve towed up to 8500lbs with this setup and no sag but still would like to upgrade to thick coils and load lifter setup when my budget allows.
Not that it matters now, but instead of jack mode, you ahouldnhave put it in transport mode, it would have deflated all the bags then put it in jack mode.
Must be nice to be able to buy all them tools brand new Thanks for this video brother I’m buying part by part so I could do this to my truck
Your welcome - Thank you for viewing.
I would of spent 3 days trying to wrangle used ones on marketplace. Had to get it done in a crunch.
Getting the stuff on Amazon was damn near 50% off vs grabbing from Home Depot etc.
I never torque suspension or brake stuff.. and never had issues... I go by the German spec- GOOT N TIGHT :D
I'm bout to tackle this job this weekend got my parts headed in can't wait to be cussing then jumping for joy once it's all done. BTW about the section you talked about getting all the air out before but you could not find out how. To anyone just put you truck in entry exit mode
Excited for you to be done with air suspension headaches.
Ahh I did that but thought there was some other process that I was missing.
I’ve towed 8k miles with this setup so far and I’m very happy with it.
Only thing I messed up on was removing the air suspension fuses after the job was done. Now upon starting my truck the immediately service air suspension warning appears..
I just bought a Ram 1500 Laramie with Air Suspension. I know about air suspension, never seen it in a truck stock though. I wanted the Dealership to remove the system all together due to the failure that eventually happens as with any air suspension. Dealership would not do it because it would "mess up the computer & sensors which would cause me to start to have problems with the truck" I have had success with Monroe in the past, I prefer Moog, Monroe is fine though. They make a good product. My question is, would this work on my truck? 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie. The Air ride is from the factory & has the controls for it in the dash. I'm not a huge fan of my truck moving up and down when I'm getting a 4in BDS lift on it. Any suggestions?
Yes it would work. If you remove fuses before doing the job with battery disconnected you’ll be good.
I forgot that step but all I get is a service air suspension message when I turn the truck on - no functioning issues.
I’ve driven over 30k on this setup mostly towing boats and campers everything is A ok.
Moog is a better option - I didn’t realize there isn’t much that makes this a conversion kit - you just remove sensors and replace bump stop ain’t too much converting going on..
I’ve seen others say they have no issue lift X factory airbags so I would say riding it out till it goes out would be best way to get bang for your buck.. you won’t be able to sell the old system for very much and it doesn’t suck until you start hearing that compressor over working n come out to a tilted truck 🤷♂️.
Gracias gringo! 😊
Miller time!!!!! :)
This is currently happening with my 2017 Ram Rebel. It's been at the ram dealership for the last 6 weeks. Looking for a solution....
This is the solution. 6 weeks is crazy.
My 2016 ram was in the shop for 3 months for the air suspension and they didn’t fix it. Going to try this…
@@zacharypsick874 Sounds like a bad shop regardless this will erase your suspension headaches.
“Take your nuts out” lol I’m about to tackle this job this weekend but I just got some info that I won’t be able to tow anymore which is a problem for me cuz I have an rv where did you ge those bag and are you connecting them to the original compressor?
Air lift 1000 on Amazon I’ve towed over 8k miles with the setup - it’s working great. I have to add air manually like you would a tire.. you can tow without the bags but I would upgrade to thicker coils if you want to do that.. I’ll upload link to the ones I ordered tonight. They sell nicer air bag systems that have a remote controlled compressor.
Do you know where to get a Service/Shop Manual for the Air Suspension System for a 2015 Ram 1500 Sport?
Is this a 4x4?
No RWD
What is the part number?
So its been 6 months hows the ride vs air ? Was it worth it to do ? I have a 16 ram thats starting to have issues
I have no regrets it rides a lot better in my opinion I like the stiffer feel and the ridiculous price of the OEM air makes it an easy choice.
Hey nice vid! I did the same, but with fox coil overs and rear struts. The only issue i have is im not sure the size of the bump stops. Any chance you would have the measurement of them or could do a quick check. Id really appreciate it.
👍🏻
Thanks for tuning in! I will get measurements to you tomorrow.
@@RoadDogReviews thanks, that would be great!
where did you get the parts?
Amazon - links are in description
I need to get rid of my air ride, how does the Monroe suspension feel? Do you recommend it after using for a couple of days now? Thank you
They are great. I’m towing a Nautique G25 to Seattle right now. Very smooth. Keep in mind I added the air lift 1000 kit to minimize squat when towing..
You should have showed the truck after the install to show the height!
You are right. I will make a ride height / 60k miles recap video.
Do you have link for the air bags that go inside of the springs?
amzn.to/3SVxIsH
Have you looked for or found any lift kits that work well with these Monroe parts?
I haven’t looked.
isnt there a sensor that is offered by those strutmasters guys that supposedly gets rid of your service air suspension warning?
You are suppose to remove air suspension fuse and negative terminal before doing the conversion which I didn’t do so I still get the warning message.
@@RoadDogReviews i had seen some much cheaper parts on ebay but seems like everyones solution is to switch over to spring, too bad parts were not available on the links you shared, thank you for the video, convinced this is the way to go
They all have low stars or only a couple fake 5 stars. I did some research. They are known to catastrophically fail I wouldn’t risk it.
Also I updated the links -

Damn less than 600 bucks and you fix issues 🔥🔥🔥
@@RoadDogReviewsdoes that conversion kit fit a 2015 ram 1500 Laramie ?
Bro did you really route your new airbag air line in between coils? Use duct tape on a ball joint boot? This is one of the most bootleg auto repair videos I think I've ever seen. 🤣
I ended up routing it through the top.
Thanks for the video question did the truck sag in front after changing? Just need to know in case need to buy lvl kit . Thank you
Kinda it’s not as leveled out as before. Now resembles the ride height of a Ram without air suspension.. If you go with Bilstein you can adjust the ride height to be level..
@@RoadDogReviews thanks man I just throw in lvl kit to keep it straight, and again thank you for the video.
May you get many more prosperous miles from your truck. I appreciate your viewership.
@@RoadDogReviews forgot to ask you when you changed those where was your hight at as far with old air ride was able to go from entry to off road I m guessing stock ram hight?
@@admir48059 Sits like oem shock/strut Ram. If you lift front 1-2” it would be level. I’ll upload a recap video tomorrow morning with a good side pic.
By any chance did you sell your air suspension system ?
No - how much will you pay for it? Are you in Florida?
@@endlessopenroad no, I actually have a 16 Ram Rebel with the air ride too and I’m looking to replace it but of course it’s a big expense so I was wondering if you sold yours and I wanted to ask about how much I can re sale my suspension for ?
@@endlessopenroad i got my truck last year and within 4 months during the winter time the suspension gave out on me. The dealership agreed to fix it and I paid half out of pocket. They replaced the rear nitrogen tank so it’s still pretty new. I was wondering if I can resale it
I just sold the front shocks and rear struts on FB marketplace for $100.
How much would it cost for you to do the factory replacement? I have no problem with mine yet. I just figured I would do the work myself when the factory air needed repair?
Thank bro for the video, fk air suspension pos DODGE/CHRYSLER!!! LOOKING TO DELETE MY AIR TOOO!! T your video helped me out bro!! THANKS
You’re welcome. Thank you for the comment.
Yoooo sell me your front ride height sensors !!
How much you wanna pay?
