2500 leveling kit

[Bowzer_83]

Hello all. New to the site as well new to a brand new 2022 ram 2500 limited 6.7L. My question is, my truck has the factory air ride in the rear and wanting to install a leveling kit. I’ve done some research and realize that if you don’t include the 1” spacer for the air bags then the system isn’t able to be used to it’s full potential.
Looking for advice as well personal experience with the setup, and possibly even suggestions to leave it stock. My only reason in wanting to do this is to get a little bit more clearance in the front as well put 1 size taller tires on as I’m an avid hunter/fisherman.
Thank you for your time to those who involved themselves in my post.

First welcome. Regarding larger tires you can do so without leveling, with the correct offset wheels you can run 37s stock. I did on my 2019 limited with rear air. Plenty of people run 35s stock without many issues.

Regarding the level, you’ll be nose high without the rear airbag spacer. You can also get the adjustable air ride links that trick the system and that will limit its ability. I’d recommend doing the 1.75” level with 1” rear spacer and the link to get it sitting nearly perfect and still usable

What is the link? I’m assuming it has something to do with the load leveling arm?

Yes, Thuren makes an adjustable link that you can set the length to tell the system to inflate and raise the rear.

I have a simple 1.75" Ready-Lift leveling puck on mine. Works perfect for the stance I want.

Thank you all for your input, greatly appreciated.

Note that thurens leveling link is now not adjustable. It is supposed to add 1” but you can’t fine tune it sadly..

Do you have some pictures or a link to a post with pictures of your stock 2019 on 37's. I'm very close to trying the same thing, got the AEV wheels with correct offset, just waiting for the tires i want to go on sale.

Very nice, thank you. That was bone stock? no suspension work? And how much rubbing and where was it rubbing?

Bone stock. Minimal rubbing after trimming plastics

Minimal rubbing offload or pavement? Would love to go 37 but I do lots of back roads and feel I would constantly be rubbing on bumps.

I lives in Ft. Lauderdale majority of the time I owned it and when I moved to Tn I sold it. It was never off-road.

If you’re going offroad get a proper lift/level in my opinion
