Yes, the Air Lift AIR LIFT 1000 60852 (Part #BBCG60852) is designed to fit the 2015-2022 Ram ProMaster City.
The Air Lift AIR LIFT 1000 60852 (Part #BBCG60852) fits the following vehicles: 2015-2022 Ram ProMaster City. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The Air Lift AIR LIFT 1000 60852 (Part #BBCG60852) fits 2015-2022 Ram ProMaster City models. The 2022 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The Air Lift AIR LIFT 1000 60852 (Part #BBCG60852) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the Air Lift 1000 kit 60852 is designed for the Ram ProMaster City. The kit includes two air springs (part 46129), protectors, heat shield, air line, and all necessary hardware for installation on this vehicle.
No. Installing air springs will not change the weight ratings (GAWR, GCWR and/or GVWR) of your vehicle. You must not exceed your vehicle's GVWR, as doing so is dangerous and voids the Air Lift warranty. Check your vehicle's owner's manual and Safety Compliance Certification Label for maximum load limits.
The manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required for this installation.
The following tools are required: flat tire spoon, pliers, sharp knife or scissors, safety glasses, 5/16" drill bit (very sharp), #2 Phillips bit for driving screws, heavy-duty drill, grinder with burr or rat-tail file, hoist or floor jack, two jack stands, and a spray bottle with dish soap/water solution.
The kit includes: two air springs (46129), two protectors (09112), one heat shield (11907), three #8 self-tapping screws (17132), 15 feet of air line (20937), six tie straps (10466), six uni clamps (10638), two valve caps (21230), four 5/16" hex nuts (21233), two rubber washers (21234), two star washers (18411), two 5/16" flat washers (18501), one union tee (21236), and two inflation valves (21455).
Yes. You must drill a 5/16" hole in the lower bumper support to mount the inflation valve. Additionally, you must grind or file out the slot in the lower spring seat on both sides to increase hose clearance. The slot should be opened so the diameter at the top of the lower spring seat is more round than oval, with no sharp edges remaining.
1. Remove the plastic shield from the rear coil springs on both sides. 2. Grind or file out the slot in the lower spring seat to increase hose clearance. 3. Remove the plastic cap from the barbed stem on the air spring and exhaust the air by rolling it up toward the stem. 4. Replace the cap and fold the air spring into a 'hot dog bun shape.' 5. Insert the flattened air spring into the coil spring through the lowest opening with the stem at the bottom. 6. Push the air spring up within the coil by hand or with a blunt instrument such as a spoon-type iron. 7. When completely within the coil, remove the cap and allow the air spring to assume its 'as molded' shape. 8. Push the cylinder up to the top of the spring so the stem at the bottom can be accessed for attaching the hose.
Route the air line as follows: (1) From the right side air spring, route the hose up through the modified hole in the lower spring seat and through the protector, then along the front side of the lower control arm secured with two tie straps. (2) Route the hose through the suspension's center mount to the other lower control arm, where the union tee is installed on the back side. (3) From the left side air spring, route the hose to the union tee, then up to the left frame section and behind the hard rear brake line on the inside of the frame. (4) Route the hose along the frame to the back of the vehicle, securing with tie straps. (5) Install the inflation valve in the hole in the lower bumper support. Leave sufficient slack throughout to prevent strain on fittings during axle motion. Keep the air line at least 8 inches from the exhaust system to prevent melting.
The heat shield protects the air springs and air line from heat damage because the muffler is close to the coil spring. Install the heat shield by positioning it against the frame halfway between the muffler and the coil spring, ensuring the slot on the heat shield is around the muffler mounting bracket. Mount it to the frame using the two self-tapping screws (part 17132) included in the kit.
Use this procedure for all air line connections: (1) Slide an air line clamp onto the air line. (2) Spray the barbed fitting with a soapy water solution to aid insertion. (3) Push the air line over the barbed stem until it covers all the barbs. (4) Compress the ears on the air line clamp with pliers and slide it forward to fully cover the barbed section. Do not cut the air line completely when removing it from a fitting, as this will nick the barb and render the fitting useless.
1. Inflate the air spring to 30 PSI. 2. Spray all connections and the inflation valves with a solution of 1/5 liquid dish soap and 4/5 water. 3. Look for bubbles in the soapy water to spot leaks. 4. After the test, deflate the springs to the minimum pressure required to restore normal ride height (do not deflate below 5 PSI). 5. Check the air pressure again after 24 hours. A 2-4 PSI loss after initial installation is normal. Retest for leaks if the loss is more than 5 PSI.
If there is a problem with the inflation valve: (1) Check the valve core by tightening it with a valve core tool. (2) Check the air line by removing it from the barbed fitting. Cut the air line off a few inches in front of the fitting and use pliers or vice grips to pull/twist the air line off the fitting. Do not cut off the air line completely as this will nick the barb and render the fitting useless. If these steps do not resolve the problem, call Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892.
Complete the following checks before road testing: (1) Leak test — Inflate air springs to 30 PSI and check all connections for leaks with soapy water solution. All leaks must be eliminated before road testing. (2) Heat test — Ensure at least 6 inches clearance from air springs and air lines to any heat sources. If a heat shield was included, install it. (3) Fastener test — Recheck all bolts for proper torque and re-torque after 100 miles. (4) Road test — Drive the vehicle 10 miles and recheck for clearance, loose fasteners and air leaks.
You must maintain a minimum of 5 PSI at all times. The minimum air pressure keeps the air spring in shape, ensuring that it will move throughout its travel without rubbing or wearing on itself. Never deflate below 5 PSI except when raising the vehicle by the frame for service work.
The maximum inflation pressure is 35 PSI. Never inflate beyond 35 PSI. Although the air springs are rated at this maximum, the actual air pressure needed depends on your load and GVWR. Always maintain normal ride height and adjust pressure as necessary for your specific load.
Check the air pressure weekly. Always maintain normal ride height by adjusting pressure as needed. When increasing load, always adjust the air pressure to maintain normal ride height. Loads carried behind the axle (including tongue loads) require more leveling force (pressure) than those carried directly over the axle.
If the air springs are properly installed and maintained, they can last indefinitely. Proper maintenance includes checking air pressure weekly, maintaining normal ride height, never exceeding 35 PSI, and addressing any air leaks promptly using a soapy water solution to identify the source.
Yes, the vehicle can be lifted on a hoist for short-term service work such as tire rotation or oil changes. However, if the vehicle will be on the hoist for a prolonged period of time, support the axle with jack stands to take the tension off the air springs. Use of on-board leveling systems do not require deflation or disconnection.
Inflate the air springs to 30 PSI before adding the payload. This will allow the air cylinder to properly mesh with the coil spring. After the vehicle is loaded, adjust your air pressure down to level the vehicle and for ride comfort. When carrying a payload, increase tire inflation pressure by 2 PSI above normal for each 100 pounds of additional load on the axle.
If you suspect the air springs have bottomed out, increase the air pressure. Bottoming out occurs when the air spring compresses completely and the cylinder contacts the lower spring seat. Increasing pressure will prevent this condition and maintain proper ride height and suspension function.
It may be necessary to maintain different pressures on each side of the vehicle. Loads such as water, fuel, and appliances will cause the vehicle to be heavier on one side. Adjust the pressure on each side independently to level the vehicle and maintain proper handling. A dual air line system allows separate control of left and right air springs.
No. Air pressure can be adjusted with any type of compressor as long as it can produce sufficient pressure to service the springs. Even a bicycle tire pump can be used, though it requires significant effort. However, an on-board air compressor system allows convenient inflation and deflation from inside or outside the vehicle with the touch of a button. Air Lift offers single or dual path systems with wireless or analog control options.
If the vehicle rocks and rolls, adjust the air pressure to reduce movement. Increasing air pressure will improve stability and reduce body roll. Stability should be the priority, as it translates into safety, and you may need to sacrifice a perfectly level and comfortable ride to achieve proper stability.
Bad headlight aim indicates the vehicle is not level. Raise the air pressure to correct this problem and level the vehicle. Proper leveling ensures correct headlight aim and proper suspension geometry.
A rough or harsh ride may be due to either too much pressure or not enough pressure. Try different pressures to determine the best ride comfort. Start with the vehicle level or slightly above, and adjust pressure up and down to find the best balance between comfort and stability.
If the front of the vehicle dives while braking, increase the pressure in the front air bags if equipped. This will reduce brake dive and improve stability during braking.
Recheck the air spring system after 30 days or 500 miles, whichever comes first. If any part shows signs of rubbing or abrasion, identify the source and move it if possible. If relocation is not possible, the air spring may need to be remounted. Check all fasteners for tightness. If professionally installed, consult the installer for service.
Use a soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core before deflating and removing the spring. Spray the connections with a solution of 1/5 liquid dish soap and 4/5 water and look for bubbles to identify the leak location. Tighten the valve core if the leak is at the inflation valve. If the leak is at an air line connection, remove and reattach the air line following the proper connection procedure.
Yes, the Air Lift 1000 kit 60852 is designed specifically for the Ram ProMaster City.
You need: flat tire spoon, pliers, sharp knife or scissors, safety glasses, 5/16" drill bit, #2 Phillips bit, heavy-duty drill, grinder with burr or rat-tail file, hoist or floor jack, two jack stands, and a spray bottle with dish soap/water solution.
Yes. You must drill a 5/16" hole in the lower bumper support for the inflation valve, and grind or file out the slot in the lower spring seat on both sides to increase hose clearance.
The maximum inflation pressure is 35 PSI. The minimum pressure is 5 PSI, which must be maintained at all times.
No. The kit does not alter your vehicle's GVWR or payload. You must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's maximum load limits.
Check air pressure weekly. Always maintain normal ride height and never exceed 35 PSI.
Inflate to 30 PSI before adding payload to allow proper meshing of the air cylinder with the coil spring. After loading, adjust pressure down to level the vehicle and for ride comfort.
A 2-4 PSI loss after initial installation is normal. If the loss is more than 5 PSI, there is a leak that must be fixed. Use a soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core. Tighten the valve core if needed. If the leak is at an air line connection, remove the air line by cutting a few inches in front of the fitting and pulling it off with pliers or vice grips. Reattach the air line following the proper connection procedure. If these steps do not resolve the problem, call Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892.
Inspect the air lines to ensure none are pinched. Tie straps may be too tight. Loosen or replace the strap. Look for kinks or folds in the air line and reroute as needed. Ensure sufficient slack is left in the air line to prevent strain on fittings during axle motion.
Inspect the air line for holes and cracks. If damage is found, replace the air line as needed. If the problem persists after replacing the air line, it may be caused by a failed air spring. Call Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892 for assistance.
