Leveling Kits and Shock Replacement

[RamGuy84]

What have people been using for leveling kits for the 2019s? I have a 3500 srw and want to do a 2"-2.5" front leveling kit and 1" rear blocks and use bilstein shocks. Will the bilstein 5100s that fit the 2018s fit the 2019s? I assume the tpms sensors I get for aftermarket rims should work on the 2019s like they did on the 2018s too?

Skip the Bilsteins and go with one of the leveling kits from Thuren or Carli the 4th gen kits will fit the 2019 trucks. Spacers are a terrible way to go. both of those kits utilize replacement coils that ride amazingly. You can buy rear blocks from Readylift and the Thuren/Carli shocks will work with them.

I have the 1.75" Thuren coils and his Fox IFP shocks on my 2014 and they will be removed and installed on my 2019 when it arrives with a set of 1" blocks for the rear. I have the King IFP 2.0 shocks on the way from Thuren to put on the new truck.

I am planning the Readylift front level kit (~2inch) with spacers and 5100 bilsteins. My level guy said he wasn't finding anyone with good feedback on replacement front springs vs spacers. I mentioned the Thuren coils but he suggested just ready lift front kit (no cnew coils) and 5100s , I am not planning on any rear end blocks or adjustments. This is for 2500 crew. Waiting for rims to be in stock to get it all installed.

That's ridiculous. Spacers will only make the ride worse and can introduce coil bow on these trucks.

If you can find even one person that has actually ridden in a Thuren or Carli spring truck with properly tuned shocks that doesn't love it I'd be shocked.

Odds are, he doesn't sell those coils and wants to make the money from the Readylift stuff he's got in stock.

The issue was finding coils that will fit the front correctly, sounds like that is the main issue. Not a height issue but how it fits in the pocket, as I understand it. Are you running diesel or the Hemi? If Hemi, Do you have a part number for the Thuren? I was pushing to go with the Thruen coils but he was not finding much info on the fit of coils for 2019s. He does this everyday so I trust him in his knowledge, but he admitted there is not much info on the HD 2019s and he has worked on any new model Rams yet.

All of the 2018 Carli and Thuren Coils fit the new trucks. Everything is the same except for the Track Bar. Check the Youtube Channels of Carli Suspension and CJC Offroad for details.
