ride height

[Archive]

Good morning everyone.
when ordering the off-road option does that raise the 4x4 higher than they already are?
Also, does the camper option also raise the 4x4 higher?? Would appreciate any comments. thanks in advance.

I don't think the off road option is available on 2500's.

The camper package adds helper springs in the rear and does raise the rear a little higher.

Order the snow plow prep option with the trailer package and camper package for maximum ride height. I got the 46/47 front springs when I ordered that combo. It sits as high as any stock truck I have seen.

The "Off Road" is an order option on the 1500 Rams only, and includes 17" wheels and other trick stuff.

I think the camper package does jack-up the rear end. I believe the regular rear springs are the same, but the overloads get stacked in there above the axle increasing the truck's rear height. I don't think the trailer tow package does anything to ride height however.

The snow-plow prep does provide different springs on the front, but may not change the front height (i. e. , stronger springs but same length) except when the front-end is loaded with additional weight. Someone told me this, but I don't know if it is true or not. They said only way to get the front-end higher is with a minimum 2" lift ("leveling kit").

The snow-plow option is blocked in combination with other options (I think with the SLT plus). Was that way when I ordered.

Ski Bum,

You need to go take a second look at the overload springs that come with the camper special. The overload springs get stacked on top of the regular springs so they do not add any additional height to the back end.

Get a new one with any options, then order a 4 1/2" skyjacker lift #ad
