What are people using for leveling/lift kits?

[LateToTheParty]

I got these cheap lift kits, it is perfect for my truck especially when I'm using it for heavy loads.

Every single one of them?

I did the 3/1 Readylift on my 3500. I also added Bilstein shocks, and have zero complaints about the lift... I too need to add the track bar. Which one did you install by the way?View attachment 3891

Nice setup, what tire size and wheel size and offset?

Are there any options that don't involve softer springs like thuren and Carli? I find the front springs too soft as it is. The stock ride does not bother me one bit. Does anyone have feedback on the bilstein kit?

Spacer lift keeps the factory springs. I found 1” to be perfect for my needs

Just purchased the Bilstein coil and shock kit from Bilsteinlifts.com but won’t have it installed for a couple weeks. They have been out of stock on them but now have them again. I agree, frontend is too soft as it is.

@woody284 i finally put the 1” lift on the truck. The garage door scratched the roof on the way out, lol

1” front/ 0” rear
285/75-18 (35”)
Still has ~7/8” rake front to rear

Hardest part was torquing the control arm lower mount bolts to 225lb after i did the alignment... because I’m a tiny man

I just got the ReadyLift 1.75" leveling pucks on the stock suspension. I opted this route since I have the Offroad package with the Bilsteins so I got good shocks and a nice level.

Readylift 3"F/1"R lift, 20x9 Fuel Couplers with +1 offset on Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Zero rub. Still have to add the adjustable track bar to get the front the same on both sides. Love the ride and the look.View attachment 3402View attachment 3405View attachment 3404

What size tire is this running? Looks good

Ordered a Carli Pintop system with a Carli steering stabilizer for the Power Wagon a few weeks ago. 8-12 week wait
New wheels and 37s this weekend though!

Had it on my 18 2500 and it road much better than stock. I also had the dual steering stabilizer, aftermarket track bar and replaced the ****ty draglink fca recalled. I liked it so much I bought another kit for new truck but ended up with the tradesman powerwagon instead. I have kit up for grabs if anyone wants to pick up.

With regards to the Carli and Thuren systems, the shocks are valved to match the softer rate springs and the ride is much improved. It will not feel or drive like it is softer. It will feel like the truck is more in control and managed, especially when hitting bumps or dips. For example, there is a dip on my way to work. I never even thought about it in my 2007. I was surprised the first time I hit it in my 2020. Even at a moderate speed, the truck's front springs over compressed and jounced like a rabbit. After modifying the suspension the jounce has gone away at all speeds. It is hard to explain but the truck feels much more nimble even though it is lifted.

Update. Did the thuren king 2.0 shock on all 4 corners with a front leveling thuren coil. Did the swaybar endlinks and the track bars front and rear at 20k miles. I did the shocks at 8k miles. Was a big difference since the truck was new.

At 60k miles i upgraded the rear to 2.5 king shocks and thier stock height medium rate coil.

The front soft rate coil is nice and comfortable. With their shock you get more travel.

The rear rides real good now. Even over big bumps and pot holes.

I ordered front 2.5 king shocks but have to wait 9 months........

Added 35x12.5x20 tires last week

2019 2500 6.4 hemi. 60k miles of commuting

Where did you find a 3 inch spacer?

 

[elephantrider]

you can find them online. supreme suspension sells a set.

 

[LateToTheParty]

Readylift sells 3" spacers as well.

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.

Ordered a Thuren King 2.5 lift kit. Hoping it’ll be here only a few months after the 2022 shows up!

It was, sir.

Did you end up doing a track bar with the 1 inch? How do the shocks feel since the 1in doesn’t come with shock extenders?

I’m really thinking of doing the 1 inch also and just getting the RC track at for peace of mind.

I didn’t do a track bar. According to my trig calculations, the axle only shifted 1/4” with installation of a 1” front lift. Imperceptible to the naked eye, so I’m not even sure it moved that much.

I did my own alignment at home

I have Fox shocks that are ~2” longer than stock up front.
