2026 Non-Air Leveling Help

[ccolli26lne]

I just purchased a 2026 Laramie Sport (Hemi) and wanting to level it. I have been browsing the forum for a couple days now to see the best route to go. Im seeing the Bilstein 5100 and Eibach for the best 2 choices that don't break the bank. Years ago I had a 2020 Ram that I did the motofab 2" puck with 22's and 33's and yes I do remember the clunking sound. If you go with the Bilstein 5100 do you also have to replace the springs or do you use the factory spring still? Also if going Eibach what are you using the Sport struts and then the 2" sport springs or can you use just the springs. Trying to narrow down the best possible route. Just wanting to level it and do the 285/55R22 tire. Thanks in advance for the help!

For the Bilstein's you can do either. You can buy them with Bilstein coils installed)for more money of course). Or you can us the stock springs. If you have the ORP do not go higher than setting 5. Says so on the instructions. If you call Eibach they will help you with exactly what you need for your preferred use.

I replaced the OEM front shocks with Bilstein 5100 (Rock Auto or Amazon), on settings 3, replaced the tires with 275/60r20, and it was perfectly level at 7" from the top of the tire to the bottom of the wheel well. My first tow of a 4500# boat, I had a little dip (1.5") in the rear, and I installed Timber Grove air bags, so that I could maintain level no matter what I tow. All other components are OEM, and my speedo is off 1.3 - 1.6 depending on speed. The ride is very smooth, responsive, and with no body roll.

Thanks for that info! The most I will ever tow would be a small utility trailer my dad left to me. Do you have a part number by chance for the 5100's? I was looking at some the other day and some said they would fit the Ram and some said no.

Appreciate the response and info. I definitely think the Bilstein is the route I want to go with. As I asked the other guy who responded also, do you have a part number or best place to order from to get the correct struts?
