Ram 1500 Lowering Links FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Lowering links are adjustable components that replace the factory ride height sensor links on air suspension equipped Ram 1500 trucks. By changing the length of the link, the suspension system recalibrates and lowers the vehicle’s ride height while maintaining normal functionality.

  • Lowering links adjust the position of the ride height sensors, which control how the air suspension system responds. By slightly altering the sensor input, the system lowers the truck evenly across all four corners without modifying the air springs or shocks.

  • Ride quality remains largely unchanged because the factory air suspension system is still fully operational. The truck continues to use its original suspension components, preserving comfort and drivability.

  • The amount of drop depends on how the links are adjusted. Lowering links allow for a range of setups, from a mild drop for daily driving to a more aggressive stance for show-style builds.
