Air suspension issues

[Dugshouse]

Hi my name is Doug. New to this group and I have a question or two regarding the air ride suspension. Been having leaking issues on my 2014 Ecodiesel air ride suspension. Thinking about converting the air ride to standard suspension since my truck is a little over eight years old and do not want to spend several thousand to replace
the whole air suspension with a new one. Can anyone recommend a good replacement. I noticed a few companies make the air ride delete or replacement kits. Do any of them stand out? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Hey Doug, here are the links for the air to coil conversion kit I purchased in November and replaced my air suspension with. I would recommend replacing ball joints or any components you have to remove since you will already have the front end pulled apart. I did quite a bit of research on the conversion kit and lots of searching for the lowest price. Hope this helps you out.

Below is the youtube video search words (couldn't figure out how to attach the link) for the conversion kit. I watched it a few times prior to doing the install.

Hi Dan. Thanks for the reply. I had looked into the Monroe kit. When I called Monroe they said that there shock did not work with the eco diesel due to extra weight. Did you have any issue with the weight of front end bottoming out? Any lifts needed to compensate?

I didn't have any issues with bottoming out. I did go with a leveling kit because I didn't like the rake look it had when I first installed the kit.
