Roadmaster Active suspension review

Agreed. I’m trying to figure out what I’d like to do. I rarely tow or go off-road. I’d like to go off-road more. I don’t have rear sway bar. That would prob be the best upgrade since I’m on the road 99%. But from what you all say, the RAS makes the ride better also.

 

In my opinion, I'd give the RAS a try because it does address stability AND squat

Plus, if it doesn't work out, you can always sell it here... I can't imagine you'd have any trouble getting almost everything you paid for the set up back, as long as you're not in a rural area. Shipping would be unreasonable...

 

RAS is great, but that sway bar really changes the entire feel of the truck. I have both and they do their respective jobs well.

 

I’m currently selling my RAS for 1/2 price of new… if anyone is looking for one.

 

@therealjonwick and @nobodyintexas

Not sure where those dudes are in relation to you, but....

 

The RAS HD is designed to handle half your payload +/- 10% depending on how much you crank it up.

So you’ll get to roughly half your max payload before it starts to squat.

800lb tongue weight…from my experience you would prob be leveled with that instead of squatting. And you’d probably have an inch more rake when unloaded.

I think it rides better unloaded than air bags or heavier duty leafs, too.

 

awww. Man

I just got my new set delivered sat

 

thanks

this is what I’m looking for

I just need to:

1 take it out of the water in a weather event

2. Take it to service

 

Saw these for sale. About 4 1/2 drive for me. Still on the fence if I want to spend the dough. I’d have to buy new ubolts to take out my 1” block also. I don’t haul or tow much. But from all the comments it seems like an overall upgrade. Does it make the ride rougher? Increases handling but feel bumps more?

 

Ride isn’t rougher at all, and bumps are easier. The “preload” of the RAS actually makes the ride somewhat softer unloaded and yet supports payload/tongue weight way better than without. It cuts down on sway, too. Basically additional progressive spring when unloaded and helper spring when loaded.
I thought they were too good to be true before I bought them. They live up to their marketing.
