Looking for a small 1-1.5'' leveling kit for my 21 3500, would like to keep factory ride. I'm liking the proryde lift as of now. Would i need sway bar extension and trak bar as well.
 
I had the traxada on my previous truck and it was nice. I had a set of bilstein 5100's on it too so didn't even consider shock extensions. If you are looking for slightly higher quality thuren does have lifts as small as .5".
 
I've been eyeing the Thuren softride .5" front springs and Fox shocks F&R. I plan on mounting 285X75's on my stock wheels and be done with it
 
I did 1" Thuren coils in the front along with their track bar and Fox shocks. Without a track bar your axle will shift slightly to one side, but with only going .5-1" it would be barely noticeable if at all. Sway bar extensions will not be necessary.
 
Thuren 1" coils, Thuren sway bar and Fox shocks. Rides so much better and worth every penny. Thuren told me not to worry about the track bar now with that amount of lift.

I still have the OEM track bar with a 2.75" level and it still didn't shift it that far. I will be installing the thuren track bar at some point whenever I fall into a money pit.

Hows the ride compared to stock. Would you mind posting a few pics
 
I installed the Traxda 1'' kit this weekend, took about 30 minutes. It was perfect for what I was looking for. Only complaint is traxda's powercoat is crap but for under $100 you get what you get.

Which springs did you use? i only see the .5" and 1.75" for the 3500 6.7

Dude you’re a beast. It takes me 30 minutes and 1.5 beers to put the truck on jack stands and get the tires off of it

I had a 2018 Ram 2500 and moved the coils over when I traded it for the 2021 Ram 3500. I checked with Thuren and they said they'd fit no problem. If you look up the 2500 springs there is a 1" option. Looks like the difference is you gain more lift than 1" because the stock 3500 sits a tad higher. Come to think of it now it did seem like the coils lifted my 3500 higher than my 2500, but I chalked it up to it being a 2021 vs 2018. Never took measurements so can't say for sure.

It's weird, I added the 1" coils in my 2500 and got 1 1/2" of lift. Some said it will settle but 5K later it's still the same.
 
Do have to add aftermarket shocks with the 1" coils if you have the off road package? Also, Thuren only sells the 1" for the diesel. Will it not work with the Hemi for some reason?

Yes, the shocks need to be valved for the springs. If you don't want to spend the money get the overland shocks.

How level do you sit now?
I wonder if the 2500 1" is the same as the 3500 1.75" because of the 3500 being abit higher?
