2024 Bighorn Thuren

[Raiderheritage]

Took the rough country spacer off after 1 week and went with Thuren springs and swaybar. Unbelievable difference. It shouldn't be legal for rough country to sell that spacer and list it as an improvement. Have Thuren rear springs and bilsteen 5100s for the back. Haven't installed yet.

Did you put in the +1” softride springs?

 

[Raiderheritage]

Did you put in the +1” softride springs?

+2" soft rate in the front and -.5 in the back

 

[2K6TBSS]

I did the Supreme Suspension kit, and it's ok. When it's time to replace the factory shocks, I'm going to do springs too.

+2" soft rate in the front and -.5 in the back

I did the rear .5. difference front to back is 1.5" now. Im going to do a 1" in the front i think

That's alot of thinking brother. Go with thuren front and back including sway bars.

I fail to see the reasoning behind the “leveling” craze. It’s a truck. Jeez.

 

[F2830]

One of the advantages is more suspension travel in the front.

 

[Soapy]

I put a spacer lift on one truck and never again. IMO always go with springs and other stuff to do it right the first
time.

Just trying to enhance the look is all. I have a 1953 bel air door on air ride build going on. Have have had 10+ that were slammed, bagged, lifted, 650+ horse power, low riders etc etc. So making **** sit right is a priority of mine

The factory look is fine by me. IMO it doesn’t need anything to make it “sit right”.
It’s a truck and sits that way for a reason.
Only pavement princesses and trucks that aren’t used as trucks put “leveling kits” on.
Not to mention, “leveled “ truck owners don’t go the extra yard to readjust the headlights. Those ******** are blinding to oncoming traffic.

Let’s not pretend that leveling kits and a proper suspension are the same thing. The Thuren and Carli suspensions are performance first and looks second. Their kits increase travel, control, and offer a better ride quality than factory. Some of us use our trucks for more than just towing.

That being said… Improperly adjusted headlights should result in three swift nut kicks.

His truck, his money, his choice. None of those “pavement princesses” belong to you. You are entitled to your opinion but in the same sentence, it’s not your truck.

You got it right in your first sentence, fine by YOU. I dont like the raised rear look. And these trucks are pavement princesses from factory, they are super stiff. A proper suspension system can be much better than oem, a 200$ spacer is not a proper suspension.

Why do you think trucks with a level don't get used as trucks?

 

[Ritchie_Rich]

Haven’t seen one yet.

 

[alamb13]

Haven’t seen one yet.

Interesting thought. I've never seen a more confidently wrong answer.

 

[F2830]

Haven’t seen one yet.

I own a 2024 Ram 2500 6.4L Bighorn that’s been “leveled”. I regularly tow a tractor or 8Ton excavator on a 18’ equipment trailer and tow a 14K dump trailer that’s been loaded with crushed rock, topsoil, etc.
