Roadmaster Active Suspension

[MarkD]

I put a set on a week ago and I am very pleased.

 

They raised the back of my truck almost 1".

 

They really smoothed out some of the harsher pot holes around here.

 

Pulled a trailer and the back didn't sag enough to be noticeable.

 

This is the second set I have installed.  Install took 45 minutes with air tools.
