Built for Landscaping & Contractor Fleets

Stop the squat. Tame the sway. Get control back—loaded or not.

Bed systems and equipment add weight that sags the rear and hurts steering. RoadActive Suspension® (RAS®) reinforces your leaf springs so trucks sit level, track straight, and feel planted—without compressors, bags, or seasonal fiddling.

*Height recovery varies by truck/load. RAS adds supportive rate to your existing leaf springs; it is not a lift kit.

Why heavy loads feel sketchy..

  • Rear springs flatten → squat reduces front tire grip and braking.
  • Higher center of mass → more body roll and sway in turns & wind.
  • More weight → more axle wrap & wheel hop over bumps and curbs.
  • Airbags can fight each other, need air/lines, and change ride quality.

How RAS® fixes it (without hassle)

  • Progressive support engages under load to reduce squat.
  • Improves roll resistance → steadier steering and lane stability.
  • Damps axle wrap & hop → smoother across jobsite terrain.
  • Set-and-forget. No compressors, leaks, or seasonal fiddling.

FAQs

How is RAS® different from airbags?

RAS adds progressive support directly to your leaf springs to control squat and sway—no compressors, lines, or air management. Many fleets prefer the set‑and‑forget simplicity and consistent handling feel.

Will it make the ride harsh when empty?

No. RAS is designed to maintain ride quality unloaded and add support as load increases, so your trucks stay composed when they’re working and comfortable when they’re not.

Is installation reversible?

Yes. The system is bolt‑on with no drilling on most applications and can be removed if needed.

Does it affect payload or towing ratings?

No suspension upgrade increases OEM ratings. RAS helps your truck handle its rated loads more confidently by reducing squat and improving stability.
