Depending on the application for your vehicle, we have STANDARD duty and HEAVY duty kits. Find out which is best for your Vehicle, below!
STANDARD DUTY VERSUS HEAVY DUTY KITS.
STANDARD duty kits are designed mainly for 1/2 ,3/4 ton pickup trucks and vans that have rear leaf spring suspension setups. They can also be used on 1 ton pickup trucks that experience up to roughly 1-2 inches of squat when towing/hauling OR are simply looking for improved performance. When installed, this kit is guaranteed to reduce rear squat and improve load management, improve stability, overall handling, reduce body roll when cornering, reduce bounce, eliminate axle wrap, wheel hop, and make your vehicle safer. These STANDARD kits will also provide a smoother more comfortable ride with or without a load. These kits are NOT designed for 1 ton pickups that have overload leaf spring located above the pack of leaf springs. Truck with factory TOP overload must utilize our Heavy Duty kits.
HEAVY DUTY KITS.
HEAVY Duty kits are identified by the letters HD located at the end of the part number. These kits are the ideal application for 1/2, 3/4,1 ton that experience roughly 2-4 inches of rear squat when loaded. The HEAVY Duty kits feature 50% stronger coil springs with certain components larger than a standard kit and is recommended for applications where typical loading situations include the tongue weight or payload approaching the specified limits of the truck. When installed this kit will greatly reduce squat and improve management, while still offering all the great benefits of the standard duty Roadmaster Active Suspension and providing a smoother more comfortable ride with or without a load. Note* If the vehicle has an overload springs located above the pack of leaf springs, this overload spring must first be removed before the kit can be installed.
*Any factory TOP overload springs must first be removed before installing kit [As per fitting instructions]. *

How does Roadmaster Active Suspension work?
Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS) kits consist of a set of two very powerful, variable rated coil tension springs that when installed support and assist the rear leaf springs by holding them in their (Original designed) bowed position. When downward strain from load or vehicle weight shift is applied to the leaf springs, the stabilizing action of RAS comes into action immediately absorbing the force of the load. The greater the strain, the more corrective counter assistance force is applied from the RAS spring.
Is RAS easy to install and do I require special tools?
RAS is very easy to install and should take about an hour. Fully assembled out of the box with a set of easy to follow step-by-step fitting instructions, complete with pictures! For ease of install you will require a two post auto lift and standard shop tools. RAS can also be installed on the ground using a trolley jack and jack stands.
Will RAS reduce sway and roll when cornering?
Yes. RAS will greatly reduce body sway and roll in cornering. Roadmaster’s powerful coil spring supports the weight that shifts onto the rear leaf spring that is taking the additional load. Holding the leaf spring in a bowed position (not allowing to flatten out) maintains a more level vehicle on turns and curves.
Will RAS fit on a truck with a lift kit?
Roadmaster Active Suspension kit specs are based off of stock vehicles, without any aftermarket suspension modifications. From a fitment standpoint, RAS generally fits lifted trucks without an issue. An issue may arise if the lift block is fabricated in an odd shape that interferes with our axle connecting brackets, or if it's a complete suspension swap. Before ordering a RAS for your lifted or leveled truck, be sure to check your suspension to look for possible issues as described. If there appears to be an issue as described in either one of these two instances, email us at sales@activesuspension for assistance and further instruction.
Provided fitment is not an issue, RAS works great on lifted and leveled trucks from a functionality standpoint, greatly reducing squat caused by towing, significantly improving stability, excessive bounce and any axle wrap/wheel hop.
Will RAS help get rid of my squat?
While RAS is geared towards significantly improving performance and overall towing experience & capability without hassle (by improving ride quality, significantly reducing sway, bounce and body roll), one of the most noticeable visual benefits is reducing rear squat when towing or hauling. Because the RAS works in conjunction with the existing leaf springs (that vary greatly in rating), the amount the RAS reduces rear squat will vary as well. Generally, a pickup owner experiencing 2-3 inches of squat should expect the RAS to keep that truck level or extremely close to level. For vehicles experiencing over the 2-3 inches of squat, RAS will still help and an improvement should still be seen, but remaining perfectly level should not be expected.
