Wildpeak AT4 tires- 2022 Ram 2500

[Brad460]

Just ordered a 2025 (my first HD truck), Do they natrually come a little more leveled than the 1500s? I know you said yours isnt, but that looks close to level to me.

My Ram is lower in the front…I think 1.5” lower. I did recently buy a 1” leveling kit which will bring it closer to level without causing much change to the suspension..

The angle of the picture or where it sits can make the truck more or less level..

What leveling kit?

What leveling kit?

I went with a Traxda 1” leveling kit…waiting for the weather to warm up to install..

Thats a spacer right? I refuse to do that but i cant seem to find 1" leveling kits for suspension replacement parts for the 2025 2500s (Someone said the 2019-2024 parts should work though?)

Also since i will be going the bigger tires.... on a 1500 2" level and above is recommended to replace UCAs.... Is it the same for the 2500s? In other words, getting bigger tires on my truck (with or without a 1" level, i wont go above 2") Should i replace them or am i fine?

You don’t need to replace the upper control arms when you level the truck because there are no upper control arms in the front of a 2500.

There is nothing wrong with a 1” spacer. In fact, it could be argued that a 1” spacer is better in certain applications because the only available springs are softer rate and some people don’t want to decrease payload/capacity/spring rate. I opted to retain factory spring rates and use a 1” spacer and new shocks. There are zero drawbacks to a 1” (or even 2”) spacer although I would extend the bumpstops and shocks if going 2”

Man, great info. I greatly appreciate the help! Will order the 1" kit now.

Great post- this is exactly why I purchased the 1” spacer from all the research I had done..Also wanted a subtle lift up front..
