Let's talk leveling kits for the 2014 + trucks

[zmos]

I put on the Ready Lift 1.75" coil spacers, and 2" rear blocks with stock shocks, and 35 x 12.50 x 18 Toyo AT 2 tires on stock wheels. It rides like a 1 ton, better shocks would probably help...

MSicotte, Did you use the 2013 ready lift front? We site only lists to 2013. I see you have a 14 too..

Tcornish....I have the exact same truck...How much mpg did you lose when you went to 35" ? Thats what Im wanting on my truck with same leveling kit

 

[TCornish]

Lost about 1.5 mpg

 

[2014 Ram]

I can live with that!!

What exactly does a leveling kit do? Would it LOWER a 4WD so I can get in it without a ladder?

That's called a reverse level. You have a 2014, so 2500 or 3500? 3500 will be easier to reverse level than a 2500.

Im ordering new tires and wheels today...Thanks for the info a while back TCornish....Im going with the Nitto Trail Graps on Moto Metal 969 with the black inserts...The Ram dealership here is doing my leveling kit...they were actually cheaper than the 4wd places....Yes that's right, a dealership had a better price! What offset did you go with on yours TCornish?

I don't believe you - you better post some pics when you get those new wheels on

Please excuse her for not being clean, its rained here for over a week straight. Im pleased with how she rides and looks, but not please with the lost mpg...But oh well, she is not a Prius! Will post a good pic when I can get it washed and waxed.

I think -12mm offset. Your truck looks awesome

 

[2014 Ram]

Thanks! That's what I went with, -12 offset as well.

Should have done a +12 not a -12 offset. Now with the larger tires, the leveling kit, and the wrong back spacing the steering and suspension are hammered beyond design specs. Handling should be perfectly atrocious on typical roads as it tries to contantly climb the wheel ruts.

+20mm offset is the sweet spot for tire clearance on the radius arm trucks.

 

[2014 Ram]

Handles just fine and the front end alignment after the level had no issues
