Got any pics? How’s the ride w/ 2 different sets of coils?

(Finally) ditched the front swaybar. The ride is much smoother now. Bumps and transitions are soaked up very smoothly. Made me fall in love with the truck again.

So my suspension set up is
1” front spacer
Fox 2.0 IFP all around
Deleted front swaybar

Notice any handling issue with the sway bar delete? I never really heard of this before. Makes perfect sense but still safe and all that??

I wouldn’t call them issues, because in my opinion the truck handles smoother and more predictably. But, it does handle differently.

It’s a five minute job to remove it if you want to try it.

As far as safety, that’s a touchy subject it seems.

If I had softer coils like carli, i would (probably) run their swaybar. But the factory coils are nice and stiff so I’m happy with it.

Thanks for the feedback, I’m gonna give it a try.

I put together my own kit. Icon dual rate leving springs 2.5", Ram 2500 specific fox remote revior shocks for the front and non resi for the rear. Fox valves the shocks for the truck. The shock pn# are on there website for a leveled ram. I have all the pn# if you need them. Need offset wheel to run the remote resivor. The factory wheel offset get the tire to close for comfort with the remote resivor.

I installed the same 2.5" Icon Dual Rate leveling spring kit and used their shocks. Did you install an adjustable track bar? I did not and have not had any issues, rides just fine.

“Rides just fine” yes, but your axle isn’t centered under your truck anymore.

Ah well darn. I wonder why the shop I used didn't recommend I get that done also.

Yesterday I installed in 2022 2500

Rough Country 2.5 INCH LEVELING KIT | RAM 2500 (14-22)/3500 (13-22) 4WD.​

The truck looks great and sit perfect.

But after 5 minutes driving to my home I'm feel in a crazy horse. Very Harsh ride,jump in bumps I don't like!!

I waste $329.00 plus tax included installation.

Well after a half hour of use!!! I arrive home and order a Carli Budget Suspension kit with 2.0 fox shocks tuned,front coils and track bar.

Good move. I'll be doing the full Carli Pintop treatment to my 3500 CTD after it arrives on 3/10. I know it's $$$, but to cut corners after spending what we did on these trucks just isn't right. I think you will be very happy. People rave about the Carli systems.

 

[Chriss626]

Yeah I agree and the Carli pintop retains factory payload and towing. I can’t wait to put mine on. Ordered mine in January and was told 10-12 weeks so hopefully sooner than later.

 

[jeffawats]

I don't know why but been thinkin about ditching my Thuren 2" coils and going 3"

Well, if you do let me know what you want for your current springs. I will buy them off you.

I’ll be going this route as well. It was this or wait for the thuren kings (10 month wait) and 1.75” coils with maybe a rear spacer depending on my factory truck level. Since I opted for the air suspension I figured it would be better to maintain everything with the Carli. I live in SoCal and will be heading up to CJC from San Diego since I have no plans to do this myself. They had a 4 month lead time for installs when I scheduled it out.

 

[Chriss626]

Same here I’m from SoCal too and when I called CJC last month they said earliest appointment available was June. Btw CJC gives 5% off military discount if anyone is interested in the Carli kits.

10 months wait . That’s ridiculous.

Yup. I ordered in June. A month ago they said to expect them in March. Almost there!!
