Models equipped with the air suspension even have adjustable ride heights that aid fuel efficiency and off-road ability.

What kind of suspension does a Ram 1500 have?
The Ram 1500 boasts an optional Active-Level Four-Corner Air Suspension system. Each 1500 comes equipped with a unique coil-spring and multi-link rear suspension. This allows for increased control, maneuverability, and you guessed it, the smoothest ride.
When did Ram change the rear suspension?
Ram trucks built starting in 2009 used a multi-link coil-spring rear suspension for better ride and handling. The coil-spring setup centralized and absorbed bumps and impacts, while reducing friction; it also weighed 40 pounds less than a leaf-spring configuration.
Does the RAM have independent suspension?
In fact, full-size SUVs have even moved on from there to the next level: independent rear suspension. ... Ram calls this link-coil suspension, but its other names include five-link rear suspension and four-link rear suspension.
Do Ram 1500 have leaf springs?
One of the benefits of the Dodge Ram is that it is available in three sizes: 1500, 2500 and 3500, and we carry the leaf springs for all of these models. Since the Dodge Ram comes in a half ton, ¾ ton, and 1-ton capacity, we’re confident that we have the leaf springs you need for each of these models.
