Does anyone know for sure if the snow chief package has stiffer front springs? I ordered a new 2022 Ram 2500 with a Hemi and I am debating of putting a Thuren 2" level kit in front to eliminate most of the factory rake.
But if it has stiffer front springs and has less factory rake then I might leave it.

No. Has clearance lights, bigger alternator, limited slip rear diff, off road tires and auxiliary switches

Ok. I thought that was all that came with, but was reading some people saying they sit higher in front with the snow chief group. So was just making sure

Before ordering I looked at a lot of trucks in person. The hemis seemed to consistantly have less rake than diesels. I chalked it up to the increased weight on the front end.

@H3LZSN1P3R is correct - there are several dozen different front springs used for various applications of powertrain, wheelbase, etc.

BTW - I believe the Snow Chief package is one of the best deals out there and glad to hear you selected it.

I thought the same thing and chose that option as well, even though I live in AZ, lol

Another feature not listed here is that it also adds the Off-Road pages to the truck too, 12" screen anyway

Not on 3500. At least not on a 2020 3500 with air suspension.

Well it unexpectedly showed up on mine, 2022 2500 Limited diesel, no air suspe either. I had wished I ordered the "off-road" package after I ordered th3 truck just for that screen and to my surprise that screen showed up on mine when going thru the "vehicle" page. I like the fact that it displays additional gauges on the 12" screen

My 2021 3500 does not have it either although I only have the 8.4" screen.

Yea, we've pretty much established with past attempts that you can't enable the off-road pages or forward camera (only) button on the 3500. Enabling the camera option on mine kills the 360°.

Is it a limitation of alpha? I m pretty sure my 3500 w/air has offroad pages.

AFAIK, only the 2500 and perhaps the 2022 3500 has offroad pages.

I'd like to see yours if that's true.
I have alphaobd if you want the file, but here are some pics and specs. My equipment list and window sticker are on the tracking sheet.

The only thing I find useful about the Offroad pages is the altitude reading. The rest seems redundant.
