Roadmaster Active suspension review

hey, did you go with the standard or heavy duty? I also tow a boat in the summer and the sag was bothering me as well.

Have it on now 5-6 weeks and towed quite a bit and no settling at all.

 

Tundra = Heavy Duty

 

Added today Eibachs front and rear to the RAS. The Eibachs are so much smoother than the stock shocks especially on bumpy roads. I was surprised how much better the truck handles now.

 

Am I that tired or is that 2 bushings on top of the shock?

 

Its one.

 

Mobeyk, what clip setting did you set the front Eibach's at? I'm going to install mine within the next week or so and going back and forth between the 1.2 and 1.8in clip settings. Any pics after shock install?

 

But you are right. There are cases with two bushings , not mine though. Here the before and same bushing was installed on the eibachs.

here the two bushings option

 

I went with the 2.5” lift (max) as i had before a 3” rake (2” to start then 1” additional from RAS). Truck sits pretty much level now. Here pic with a full trailer

 

Best is measure hight from fender to ground at rear and compare with fender to ground at front. Decide how much rake you want empty. Consider sag if you do towing. Things will settle a bit after install over time, not sure how much but the ride is so kuch better compared to stocks.

 

I have RAS HD on now and I'm at around 3.5 in rake measuring from ground to fender. I do tow a 7k lb travel trailer around 8-10 times a year. When I hooked it up recently with RAS installed, I still had 1in rake. I'm installing Eibach's on stock coils, not on Eibach coils like you have. So I'm thinking if I want to be level when towing, I should set clip to 1.2in. I'd really like the overall look of having them set to 1.8in, but I'd have some squat when towing.

 

if it does, hypothetically you could crank it a little tighter right? I wish i had done an RAS, i just didn’t want more lift after the shackles too

 

I ordered the HD version.... probably overkill..

 

I got the HD too but i pretty much get my truck fully loaded with 5 or 6 ppl in it and a full bed of gear. I think the website said if you are around 500 lbs or less to get the standard but I dont see why you would even need this for that weight. Plus with the HD i figure you can just back off on the spring tension if needed if its too stiff or you get too much lift.

 

HD kit for me. Pairs nicely with Eibach pro truck stage 2 and rear TRD sway. I set the HD RAS with a quarter, which is sized between the smaller white disk and larger black disk. Gave one inch of lift to the rear.

 

Pressed the order button today.

 

Overkill = yes if you set it with the black spacer. I set mine with the white spacer and it's nice to have the option to set it more later. You can't do that with the SD set.

 

Did you go with aftermarket shackles? Does anybody have RAS combined with Coachbuilder shackles and poly bushings on here?

 

I an going to have this setup, planning to install next weekend hopefully.

 

Has anyone used this system with the Ironman Foam Cell Pro suspension? I've been thinking about getting this but was wondering if anyone has the same type of setup.

 

I have the RAS with @BOSS4x4s shackles. Please see my build thread below. vvv

 

Keep us posted, think I’m gonna go the +1 and RAS too.

 

If you go with +1 CB with the RAS there’s interference with the cb brace , works fine with +2

 

Thanks for the heads up, “2 it is lol.

 

You absolutely sure about this? How bad?

 

Had +2 and went with +1 had to mill the brace down still rubbed , afraid if I went any
Further it would get to the threads

 

I was actually thinking about and RAS until those pics lol

 

Damn this sucks. Guess I'm going to stick with stock shackles since I want the ras more. I'll just crank the ras more for the extra half inch lift.
