How Come Air Lift # AL60828HD Requires Removal of Coil to Install

Question

Question:

Why does the HD version require the removal of the rear springs when installing on a 2019 Ram 1500 4x4 CC new body? The non-HD version instructions state say deflate and form the hot dog shape and then in between the spring. Thank you!

Helpful Expert Reply:

The HD air bags from Air Lift part # AL60828HD are thicker material than the non-HD bags which is why you can't slip them between the coils of the rear suspension. Instead you have to push the bag through the top of the coil spring.
