Eibach Stage 2 shocks+Toyo Open Country AT3 295/65/20 Installed. 2-inch level, 35s, no rubbing.

[Elgin]

I just installed Eibach Stage 2 shocks on all four corners. The front is set to a 2-inch lift (Preset height), with no rear lift or rear coils (Didn't buy their rear coils, running OEM for now). I’m running Toyo Open Country AT3 tires in 295/65/20, and the ride is amazing with no rubbing at all.
2025 Big Horn.
So basically, 2-inch level with 35s, just in case anyone else is looking to do the same setup.

Nice Rig! Are you running the factory UCA’s? & how how the ride quality ?

 

[Elgin]

Yes stock UCA for now. Will upgrade it shortly. Ride is great, less body roll, just a bit stiffer than the stock. Overall it’s great. And the tires is surprisingly quiet.

Currently sitting here waiting on the Eibach Stage 2's to come back in stock to buy them... Price has gone up since they went out. Also have their rear sway bar in my cart and debating on getting that too.

Truck looks good, but I'd definitely recommend UCA's with that height. I was stressing mine when I went up to 2" over the Rebel stock 1. Let them go until I tore a boot then replaced.

Get the Eibach rear sway bar too, it will really improve the handling with the Stage2 setup...

Had the Eibach Stage 2s on my 22 F150 PB and loved them. Will definitely pick them up for my Ram when I finally get around to picking up some 35s.

Btw guys question:

I’m a bit concerned about the clearance between the tire and the stock UCA.

On the passenger side, I can fit about one finger between the tire and the UCA.
On the driver side, the gap is slightly smaller than a finger.

I have two questions:

1. Is it normal for the driver and passenger sides to have slightly different clearance?
2. I’m planning to upgrade to aftermarket UCAs. Will that help create more clearance, or could it actually make the gap smaller since aftermarket arms are usually beefier? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I don’t want to use wheel spacers.
I want to upgrade the UCA mainly because of the lift and improved geometry, but I’m unsure whether it will solve the clearance issue. If aftermarket UCAs reduce clearance instead, I might have to consider new wheels.

The Eibach Rear Swaybar will significantly decrease the side to side sway and "boaty" feeling of the Ram trucks..although upgrading the struts & shocks does that also quite a bit.
These difference in tire-to-uca gap is due to differences in Camber & Caster from L-to-R sides from the factory..normal.
If you want to swap in a new front UCA and are concerned about clearance and rubbing, check out the Thuren F-UCA..they're pricey, but maybe the pinnacle of UCAs.
I have these, and highly recommend them. I also have +1mm offset with 285/60R20s (~11.25-11.5" wide)..and I have a "MILE" of clearance!!
