Wanted to share some pictures and info of my 2024 2500 with rear air suspension. I ended up going with Thuren 2.75" and Fox IFP shocks all around. Since my truck has factory air ride, I used a Traxda 1" air bag spacer in the rear. With the 2.75 springs, I actually gained almost 3" of lift in the front. The Traxda 1" spacer brough the back up exactly 1" as expected. I added Suspension Superstore adjustable linkages to bring up the back more than one inch. I have not measured exactly where I'm at in the back now, but I'm happy with the way it sits. I Have the Thuren sway bar sitting in the box but I haven't got to installing it yet. I've been running with no sway bar for the last few thousand miles and I love the ride, so I'm interested in seeing how it rides with the Thuren bar on.

The wheels & tires are 37x12.50 Toyo RT Trail and 17" Method 315 with +25 offset. The tires have a good amount of poke, but more importantly there is no rubbing at all. I specifically wanted +25 in hopes of not having to trim anything and that was achieved.

The front ride quality was greatly improved. I was actually surprised at how much of a difference it made. The rear feels about the same even with the Foxs on there. I'm sure with some weight in the bed, I will notice a difference. Overall I am satisfied with the ride and the look!

Very nice!! I put a Carli 2.5 lift in the front of my truck with 1.5 inch leaf spring spacer on my 3500. I also added a 1.5 airbag spacer to keep the rear geometry. I picked up some rims and hoping to fit 37’s in mine as well!
 
Did you do anything with the rear bump stops since now the bags can compress an additional inch or is there enough travel in there? Thinking about doing the same with my truck but with 2in spaces and front springs but cant find a definite answer on it I need to lower the bump stops.

I did not drop the bump stops yet. Carlis pintop kit includes rear bump stop drop spacers and those can be bought by themselves. The plan is to add just the drop brackets and use Thuren Boogie Bumps on all four corners. Once I get some extra cash, I'm going to go that route.

Do I feel like I need to drop the bump stops with the way I drive and use my truck? No, but it's good insurance since I don't want to blow a bag. I think I can get away with how it is for a while. I've had the truck lifted for a week now and I don't feel like the rear end is using any of it's increased travel when hitting the big dips, it feels like it rides the exact same as it did at stock height.
