The Air Lift SlamAir for lowered trucks. 59113 (Part #BBCG59113) fits 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 models. The 2008 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
Yes, the Air Lift SlamAir for lowered trucks. 59113 (Part #BBCG59113) is designed to fit the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500.
The Air Lift SlamAir for lowered trucks. 59113 (Part #BBCG59113) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the MN-675 SlamAir kit (part number 59113) is designed for 2002-2007 Dodge 1500 in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. However, the kit is designed for vehicles that have been lowered using shackle or leaf spring drops, flipped axle drops, or certain lowering kits. It does not fit lowering kits using notched frames without modifications, which may require welding.
The kit does not fit notched frame lowering applications without modifications. Depending on how the upper bracket lines up with the c-notch, you may need to modify or even weld the kit. Contact Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892 for guidance on your specific application.
The kit requires a minimum of 6 inches of clearance between the frame and tire for a fully inflated air spring. This should be measured before installation to ensure the system will fit properly.
Yes, the vehicle must be at its custom lowered ride height during installation. Do not install the kit with the axle hanging. If using an axle contact hoist, place axle stands under the frame and lower the axle as needed. If using a frame contact hoist, place axle stands under the axle and lower the frame as needed. The custom ride height is the distance between the bottom edge of the wheel-well and the center of the hub when the vehicle is in the lowered condition.
Required tools include: hoist or floor jacks, 2 safety stands, safety glasses, torque wrench, 5/16 inch, 7/16 inch, and 9/16 inch open-end or box wrenches, crescent wrench, ratchet with 9/16 inch, metric, and 1/2 inch deep well sockets, 2 sharp 5/16 inch drill bits, heavy duty drill, hose cutter or sharp knife, air compressor or compressed air source, and spray bottle with dish soap and water solution.
Yes, drilling is required. You will drill 3/8 inch holes through the frame for the upper bracket mounting bolts and a 5/16 inch hole for the self-tapping screw on the driver side. You will also drill a 5/16 inch hole to install the inflation valves. Before drilling any holes, check the back side of the frame for clearance issues such as brake lines, gas lines, and electrical lines, and temporarily relocate any obstacles.
For the upper bracket, you drill 3/8 inch holes through the frame for the mounting bolts. For the inflation valves, you drill a 5/16 inch hole. The driver-side installation also requires drilling a 5/16 inch hole for the forward upper hold where a self-tapping screw is installed.
The 3/8 inch frame bolts should be torqued to 16 ft/lbs.
The u-bolt lock nuts should be torqued to 16 ft/lbs.
The 3/8 inch self-tapping screw should be tightened to 16 ft/lbs.
The lower mounting bolt should be tightened hand tight only. Do not use tools to hold the air spring.
The nylon nut should be tightened to 4 ft/lbs.
Use a 7/16 inch open-end wrench to tighten the metal hex nut only. Tighten 1½ turns. Do not overtighten. The swivel fitting is precoated with sealant.
The maximum air pressure is 100 PSI. Never inflate beyond 100 PSI. Exceeding this pressure may damage the system and void the warranty.
The minimum air pressure is 10 PSI. This minimum pressure must be maintained at all times to keep the air spring in shape and ensure it moves throughout its travel without rubbing or wearing on itself. Failure to maintain minimum pressure voids the warranty.
Keep at least 6 inches of clearance between the air line and heat sources such as exhaust pipes, muffler, or catalytic converter. This prevents heat damage to the air line.
Leave at least 2 inches of slack in the air line to allow for any movement that might pull on the air line. Use plastic tie straps to secure the air line to fixed, non-moving points along the chassis, but do not pinch the air line.
Use a hose cutter, razor blade, or sharp knife to cut the air line. A clean, square cut will prevent leaks. Do not use wire cutters or scissors, as these tools may flatten or crimp the air line, causing it to leak around the O-ring seal inside the elbow fitting.
Insert the air line into the 90-degree swivel fitting until it bottoms out. Approximately 9/16 inch of air line should be in the fitting. This is a push-to-connect fitting.
Cut off the air line leaving approximately 12 inches of extra air line. A clean square cut will ensure against leaks.
With the top and bottom of the air spring still loose, inflate the air spring to approximately 10 PSI. Use the slotted adjustment in the lower bracket to correctly align the air spring by lightly tapping it inboard (towards the vehicle) or outboard (towards the wheel). There should be a symmetrical cushion of air around the base of the air spring when correctly positioned. Then tighten the lower mounting bolt hand tight and tighten the nylon nut to 4 ft/lbs.
The air spring will expand to 5.1 inches in diameter at maximum inflation pressure. Check horizontally along the shaft of the installation tool for sufficient clearance of 2.5 inches around the tool.
Inflate the air spring to 30 PSI and spray all connections and inflation valves with a solution of 1/5 liquid dish soap and 4/5 water to check for leaks. Look for bubbles in the soapy water to spot leaks. After the test, deflate the springs to the minimum pressure required to restore custom ride height, no less than 10 PSI.
A 2-4 PSI loss after initial installation is normal. Check the air pressure again after 24 hours. If the loss is more than 10 PSI, retest for leaks.
Before road testing, perform the following checks: (1) Clearance test—inflate air springs to 60 PSI and ensure at least ½ inch clearance from anything that might rub, including tires, brake drums, frame, shock absorbers, and brake cables. (2) Leak test—inflate to 60 PSI and check all connections for leaks. (3) Heat test—ensure at least 6 inches clearance from heat sources. (4) Fastener test—recheck all bolts for proper torque (3/8 inch frame bolts to 16 ft/lbs, u-bolt lock nuts to 16 ft/lbs). Then road test by inflating springs to 25 PSI (50 PSI if loaded), driving 10 miles, and rechecking for clearance, loose fasteners, and air leaks.
Check the air pressure weekly. Always maintain the custom ride height. Never inflate beyond 100 PSI.
Use a soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core before deflating and removing the spring. If there is a problem with the swivel fitting, check the air line connection by deflating the spring, removing the line, trimming 1 inch off the end with a clean square cut, and reinserting it. If that does not work, tighten the swivel fitting another ½ turn. If it still leaks, deflate the air spring, remove the fitting, re-coat the threads with thread sealant, and reinstall by hand tightening as much as possible, then use a wrench for an additional two turns. If there is a problem with the inflation valve, tighten the valve core with a valve core tool or remove and reattach the air line to the barbed fitting without cutting it completely off.
Recheck the air spring system after 30 days or 500 miles, whichever comes first. If any part shows signs of rubbing or abrasion, identify and move the source if possible. If relocation is not possible, the air spring may need to be remounted. Check all fasteners for tightness.
Recheck air pressure after the vehicle has been used for 24 hours. If the pressure has dropped more than 5 PSI, there is a leak that must be fixed. Either fix the leak yourself or return to the installer for service.
No. Installing air springs will not change the weight ratings (GAWR, GCWR, and/or GVWR) of your vehicle. You must not exceed the maximum load listed in your vehicle's owner's manual. Exceeding the GVWR is dangerous and voids the Air Lift warranty.
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 more effort.
If the air springs are properly installed and maintained, they can last indefinitely.
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.
Yes, the minimum air pressure (10 PSI) should be maintained 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.
When increasing load, always adjust the air pressure to maintain custom ride height. Increase or decrease pressure from the system as necessary to attain the custom ride height for optimal ride and handling. Remember that loads carried behind the axle (including tongue loads) require more leveling force (pressure) than those carried directly over the axle. Always add air to the springs in small quantities, checking the pressure frequently, as sleeves require less air volume than a tire and inflate quickly.
If it becomes necessary to raise the vehicle by the frame, make sure the system is at minimum pressure (10 PSI) to reduce tension on the suspension and brake components. Use of on-board leveling systems do not require deflation or disconnection.
The installation tool assists in proper setup and alignment of the air spring and positions the upper bracket for drilling the bolt holes. The tool attaches to the upper and lower bracket and is rigid so that it will self-align the upper bracket. The threaded section of the upper part of the tool ensures that the air spring can only be mounted at the correct height.
Remove the installation tool after positioning and before drilling the upper bracket holes. Remove the bolt securing the tool to the lower bracket, swing the bracket up, and remove the nylon nut on the top of the upper bracket. Remove the installation tool and save the hardware for later air spring mounting.
On the driver side, there is a wiring loom on the inside frame rail behind the axle, so a 3/8 inch self-tapping screw is used for the forward upper hole. On the passenger side, no self-tapping screw is used; instead, a 3/8 inch washer head bolt, large flat washer, and nyloc nut are installed at the forward upper hole location.
In some situations, the upper bracket will need to be mounted in an inverted position (legs up). This is typically necessary for flipped axle lowering applications and some late model applications. First try to install the upper and lower bracket as instructed. If you set the assembly on the leaf spring and the upper bracket cannot be properly aligned on the middle section of the frame rail, it may be necessary to invert the upper bracket. Use the installation tool to determine whether inversion is needed.
For flipped axle lowering applications, the L-bracket is installed between the leaf spring and the axle. The bracket provides a lock for the lower bracket to attach, preventing the lower bracket from moving down the leaf spring and causing misalignment.
Support the frame and drop the rear axle all the way until hanging. Remove the leaf spring retaining u-bolts on one side and raise the axle to clear the leaf spring centering pin. Clamp the leaf spring together with a c-clamp and remove the centering pin. Install one spacer per pin (use the size that fits). Reinstall the centering pin. Set the lower L-bracket on the leaf, making sure the centering pin goes through the slot on the L-bracket. Drop the axle down and reinstall the u-bolts, slightly tightening them so the lower bracket can be adjusted later. Repeat on the other side.
At least 1.5 inches must be left above the top of the upper bracket for air fitting clearance.
All four holes must be in the middle section of the frame. The mounting holes must not fall on the rounded edges of the frame rail.
Before drilling any holes, check the back side of the frame for clearance issues such as brake lines, gas lines, and electrical lines. All obstacles need to be temporarily relocated to clear the area.
Depending on how the vehicle was dropped, with the hook end of the lower bracket placed over the edge of the spring retaining plate, secure the lower bracket to the leaf spring using the provided u-bolt, clamp bar, flat washers, and nyloc nuts. Torque to 16 ft/lbs. If the vehicle was dropped by flipping the axle, attach the lower bracket over the L-bracket. The bracket will pull down flat to the leaf spring when the nyloc nuts are tightened.
Popular locations for the inflation valve are: the wheel well flanges, license plate recess in bumper, under the gas cap access door, or through the license plate itself. Whatever location is chosen, make sure there is enough clearance around the inflation valves for an air chuck.
There should be enough valve exposed after installation—approximately ½ inch—to easily apply a pressure gauge or an air chuck.
Deflate the spring and remove the line by pulling the collar against the fitting and pulling firmly on the air line. Trim 1 inch off the end of the air line with a clean, square cut. Reinsert the air line into the push-to-connect fitting until it bottoms out.
A leak at the threaded connection may be caused by insufficient tightening. Try tightening the swivel fitting another ½ turn. If it still leaks, deflate the air spring, remove the fitting, and re-coat the threads with thread sealant. Reinstall by hand tightening as much as possible, then use a wrench for an additional two turns.
First, check the valve core by tightening it with a valve core tool. If that does not resolve the leak, check the air line connection by removing the air line from the barbed fitting. Do not cut the air line completely off, as this will nick the barb and render the fitting useless.
This indicates the vehicle is not level. Raise the air pressure to correct this problem and level the vehicle.
A rough and harsh ride may be due to either too much pressure or not enough. Try different pressures to determine the best ride comfort.
Stability issues include roll control, bounce, dive during braking, and sponginess. Tuning out these problems usually requires an increase in pressure. Stability should be the priority, meaning the driver may need to sacrifice a perfectly level and comfortable ride.
Adjust the air pressure to reduce movement. Increasing pressure usually helps control rocking and rolling.
If the front of the vehicle dives while braking, increase the pressure in the front air bags, if equipped.
If it is suspected that the air bags have bottomed out, increase the pressure.
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. As much as a 50 PSI difference is not uncommon.
Yes, the MN-675 SlamAir kit (59113) fits 2002-2007 Dodge 1500 in both 2WD and 4WD. It is designed for vehicles lowered with shackle/leaf spring drops or flipped axle drops, but not notched frame applications without modifications.
Essential tools include: hoist or floor jacks, safety stands, torque wrench, 5/16 inch, 7/16 inch, and 9/16 inch wrenches, ratchet with sockets, two sharp 5/16 inch drill bits, heavy duty drill, hose cutter or sharp knife, air compressor, and spray bottle with soap solution.
The vehicle must be at its custom lowered ride height with wheels on the ground. Do not install with the axle hanging. Ensure at least 6 inches of clearance between the frame and tire.
3/8 inch frame bolts: 16 ft/lbs. U-bolt lock nuts: 16 ft/lbs. 3/8 inch self-tapping screw: 16 ft/lbs. Lower mounting bolt: hand tight only. Nylon nut on air spring: 4 ft/lbs. Swivel fitting: 1½ turns only.
Minimum: 10 PSI (must be maintained at all times). Maximum: 100 PSI (never exceed). Failure to maintain minimum pressure voids the warranty.
Inflate to 30 PSI and spray all connections with a 1/5 dish soap and 4/5 water solution. Look for bubbles. A 2-4 PSI loss after 24 hours is normal; more than 10 PSI indicates a leak.
Check weekly. Always maintain custom ride height. Recheck the system after 30 days or 500 miles for signs of rubbing or loose fasteners.
No. Air springs do not change GVWR or payload. You must not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's maximum load limits. Exceeding GVWR voids the warranty.
