The Ride Tech Viair 400C compressors were neatly mounted between the Ride Tech five-gallon air tanks. This install was super clean, safe, and with the compressors close to the tanks, will enjoy fast and quiet fill ups.

The Ride Tech Pro Level E3 digital control panel with VFD (vacuum florescent display) gives you brighter characters than LCD (liquid crystal display). A 3-1 ride height programming is as simple as push and hold action similar to programming a radio station preset. The control panel fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.

After our initial test drive, we took the '09 Ram for a high-speed slalom test.
The Ram was really put through its paces and performed admirably.

The MHT wheels were wrapped with Nitto 305/30R26 NT420S rubber.

FROM THE DRIVER SEAT
The installation of the Ride Tech Ride PRO E3 Level PRO four-way system was a straightforward, bolt-on affair. We have, however, endured problems with the new e3 ECU and found its constant adjustments a bit distracting. To obtain the maximum rear drop, we removed our factory foam bumpstops and replaced them with shorter polyurethane units. Also, the dual exhaust was causing interference during maximum drop, so we cut the rear pipes off our dB Exhaust muffler and added turndowns. With the truck at maximum drop, we noticed the factory rear Panhard bar pushes the axle over to the passenger side and causes that side wheel/tire to stick out from the fender. We'll fix that with a custom piece later on.

After our initial test drive, the Ram's ride was not as compliant on the freeways, and with the heavy weight of the front end, it seems to float a little with the front ShockWave 'bags. The larger wheels and low-pro tires did effect the ride quality, but the awesome looks quickly outweigh that sacrifice. During our high-speed slalom test, the Ram performed admirably and body roll wasn't as severe as feared (though we will be adding bigger sway bars soon). With the 26-inch MHT wheels and Nitto tires, our Dodge turns heads everywhere we go, and this install proves you can have your cake and eat it too.
