Lift/leveling for 4th gen 2500

[CLawrence]

I would like to hear from any 4th gen diesel owners who have lifted or leveled their trucks. I would like to know what product you installed and if you are happy or have regrets. Also what size tires you may have added. Thankyou

I have a 2. 5'' leveling kit on my dually. Still running the factory tires in the factory tire size of LT235/80R17. With the leveling kit there is lots clearance and I'll be exploring moving to a slighly bigger tire. Of course I'll be limited with it being a dually and my need to stay towing and hauling friendly.



I've seen several 4th gen SRW trucks with 6 inch lifts and 37'' tires and love it.

You can fit 37's on a 3" kit easily on a srw, longer control arms help. A good leveling kit like Carli or Thuren will give you the best ride, all blocks are basically the same.

I have a 2012 full size 3500 crew cab. I did the Leveling kit and added slightly beefier "meats". I went with 285/75/R17's and love the look and feel so far.

I did the simple thing and just took my truck to the Les Schwab shop and had them do the lift and tires. Again, I love the look. The ride is still nice...

here is a pic of how it looks like now ... .

I used the factory front 1 1/2" leveling kit I bought from Mopar. Gave better clearance and fitted 285/75/17 Toyo Open Country ATs.

went with kore level kit (blistens front and rear, new springs up front, drop blocks for the sway bar)
245/70 19. 5's (33 inch) for summer and 285/70 17's articmax for winter use.

truck rides better then stock with the kore setup, get my vote and would do it again in a heart beat.

oh and has firestone bags on the rear for heavy loads

Post your truck pic's gents... It's always nice to see what other Ram owners have done to their rigs.
