I really like the installation process and the results where good but I do wish I went with the heavier model
Pretty easy install on my 2012 Toyota Tundra. I pull a 25’ airstream front BR travel trailer. It’s got at least a 1,000 # tongue weight. I was sagging in the rear, and getting a lot of porpoising when on concrete sectioned roads. The RAS eliminated the sag, and greatly reduced any porpoising. The truck seems way more planted with the airstream in tow. I’ve even moved it around a bit without the weight distribution bars in place. Truck is level now when towing. I know this doesn’t actually change the payload rating for the Tundra, but it sure changes how it pulls my trailer and hauls heavy loads. I also went to E rated tires.
Overall, I'm super pleased with both the product and services from etrailer and the suspension enhancement seems to work well for my application. Small camping trailer, helped take away most of the sag.
Very easy to install and make a big difference towing a trailer!
I really like the suspension add on. It keeps my truck level when towing our 9000 lb camper bumper pull. I get great stability on the road and it helps with handling the tongue weight on my 2013 Toyota Tundra 1/2 ton. It doesn't change the stiffen the suspension of my truck until I add weight. So, you don't notice it with normal driving. Installation went smoothly. The components were high quality and heavy duty. I recommend it.
Mounted on 2015 Tundra ,pull heavy car trailer and toy box these work great and are adjustable. Unlike airbags they won't leak and much easier install. They helped level truck when I'm loaded and resolved some front braking issues with the sensors on these new vehicled.
When I began the installation I set up the Tundra on my slopping driveway with chocks and attempted to jack it up with my small floor jack. Once I saw that I had to remove the spring eye plate I decided it was not very safe. I ended up going to my son-in-laws where he had a floor lift. After lifting the truck it was a very easy installation. I did watch U-tube about 6 or 8 times to make sure of the adjustments and as I said it went very well. Here are a couple of photos.
We added these to my 2017 Tundra which we use to pull a gooseneck horse trailer. We camp on USFS lands and roads can be bumpy, rutted, etc. this stiffens up the suspension and we’ve never had any issues with bottoming out.
I bought this kit for my 2019 trd pro it’s an absolute must for the saggy leaf springs in the tundra especially the fox shocks but these give it a way better stance on the back with a 3” lift kit. you can tell this difference as soon as you drive the truck ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!
Shipped fast and the box had easy instructions. Definitely a DIY-capable project, and worth the purchase! -2018 Tundra 4x4
So easy to purchase w - Jessica/ Parts came across US just in time.
2nd X buying these, so will see HOW they fit in a couple of weeks.
THX & God bless..PRAYING for safety of all concerned with virus.
Admitedly, I haven't even rolled my '07 Silverado 2500HD classic out of the garage yet, but I'm already very pleased. I had to go to a neighbor for a 10mm hex key socket and was slowed down by my 7yo kid 'helping', but it was still only 90 minutes my jack stands were in use. Easiest thing to do!
My only small downsides so far:
* needed to find a 10mm hex key that I apparently don't own, not sure why they picked that fastener
* wish I put some loc-tite on; just to make me feel better
* distance to drop the axle so the suspension fully hangs was way further than I expected; barely had my jack stands tall enough to get the job done.
These aren't really bad on the product, just notes for future customers. We're towing the 5er about an hour an a half this coming week, hopefully it steadies up a lot!
I received this kit in a very timely manner always do from etrailer have some issues with the instructions that come from roadmaster not a trailer the bump stop spacer didn’t say that you need to use the original bolt from the bump stop so it slowed me down greatly on the install however I took it out on a quick run without a load I do feel that this has made the unloaded ride smoother tomorrow I’ll be taking the trailer out for a bit and we’ll see how it works there and I’ll update this rating.
Overall, very happy with the product. GMC didn't have any way to improve the truck from squatting when I hooked up my trailer. This kit didn't stop the squatting but significantly reduced the bounce on bad dips in roads, bridge/road transitions and bad railroad crossings.
Rarely adding an aftermarket "upgrade" to any of my vehicles am I 100% satisfied with the outcome. There is usually a trade off with something. However, this is one of those upgrades that has zero con's that I've discovered so far. I was struggling to keep the leaf springs on my modded out 3rd get Tacoma from "flattening" out because I always have at least 900 lbs of payload in my bed. Adding the RAS has prevented this from happening. I also thought that they would affect off road performance, since I've never seen them in an off road application before, they don't. People on the trail often ask "What the heck?" when they see them on my rig. I tell them that RAS is the easiest to install, most cost effective solution to manage sag without sacrificing ride quality. There is the famously noted "Taco lean" and it's most prominent after fueling up. RAS will help iron this out. I've had them on for about a year now and they haven't needed any adjustments. Kinda like (Ronco), "set and forget it". I don't know their duty cycle is but, I wouldn't hesitate buying them again!
I love the product since i have a 2021 toyota tacoma crew cab long bed with a campertop a robber mat and a jack thats around 450 pounds that a have at all times my truck was sittind low a lilbit plus it was swagging on the road i have summo spring to help my suspention but it was not enoght so i did my research but this was my better option i just installed it yerterday july-8-2021 and went for a ride where i ussually drive everyday and WOW now my truck rides very smood plus it lift my tryck 1 inch on the back now my tryck seats level it took me about 2 hrs but i did right i just follow the intructions and done i love the product the only thing that im concern is that the left side underneat the springleaft there is a breik line that is too close to the roadmaster suspention i hope that with the time dont hit that line because if it does thats the line for the breiks and i will be in trouble replacing it other wise evreything works great i recomend it 100% thanks guys i will buy it again?????best $500 that i spend on my truck
I read a lot of reviews before buying the Roadmaster Active Suspension system and was happy with what I read. I live in BC Canada and ordered the product at 01:30am April 27th 2022 and it arrived in perfect condition May 3rd. I was expecting to pay duty but there was non. Very happy with the fast informative service from etrailer. I could follow the item through transit updates as it was being shipped.
I have a 2020 Ford F-150 King Ranch with the 6' box. We're getting a 29' travel trailer, 5,000 lbs, this summer so I wanted to be prepared, at least regarding the suspension.
I installed the system the day it arrived. I took the wheels off for easy access which was pretty easy. The suspension has to be hanging free for the proper install. The system install was extremely easy. The installation instructions are simple and with pictures. Once the system was installed to spec I took it out for a test ride. It actually did make a difference for a smoother ride. It softened out the bumps without the jumping around an empty truck may experience. Not saying my truck was a rough ride to begin with but I did notice a change. Just have to get the trailer to test it out now. I'm already planning to get the Roadmaster Comfort Ride suspension kit for my new trailer so I should have a smooth riding system.
I have a 2020 Silverado 1500 6 cyl Duramax with the Diesel Off Road package (3.73 diff). Travel trailer loaded is probably about 6,000 lb. I took several measurements during and after the spring kit installation. All measurements increased about an inch including the stock suspension with trailer and equalizer bars and with the spring kit installed at 1 mm spacing. A one inch improvement overall. I took the truck on a short drive and didn't notice any difference in ride (wasn't stiffer) which is what I wanted. Good to know that I can adjust the springs to the 2 mm spacing if I want to increase the suspension assist. Going camping next week and looking forward to see how it improves handling and porpoising.
Total transformation! I never knew how bad my ride was until I installed these RoadMaster 3611-HD active suspension. It took longer to safely jack my truck up and remove tires than it was to install them! Absolutely a game changer. I carry about 1000 lbs of tools and supplies daily and like riding a Rollercoaster when hitting bumps. Now, i hit bumps on purpose just to feel these RoadMasters work their magic! Love them!
love the the ride without camper easy to install cant wait to put the 3163 lbs camper back on need tires first

I still wish I went with the heavier modal. But overall it’s a very good product. I just needed a heavier duty version.
