19 Ram w/Air Sus (2" front and 2" rear lift)

[recon15]

Gents, I have a 19 Ram w/air sus and with ORP. Im wanting to do the revel links/spacer at 2" in the front. Question is can I also do revel links/spacer in the back for 2" lift? Then just change the rear shocks to a longer shock. The reason why I ask is I found another truck here that looks exactly how I want mine (name "Rammit") but he does not have air sus and did the readylift 3.5 saying that it actually gave him 2" front and 2" rear (he has the ORP so he didn't install the preload spacer into the strut).

Don't think you can use the spacer but definitely the links.

I am doing the same lift to my air ride truck next week and have talked to others who have done the rear links to lift about 2” to keep rack and have not had any issues! There are many pages on this topic on here!

Checkmate, looking forward to seeing your pics! What wheel/tire package did you order?

Checkmate, did you order the mopar 2" UCA's? And do you think there's a need to get longer rear shocks going to 2" in the rear?

Recon15...curious to find out if you get the UCA...i only did the revel links on the front and adjusted for an extra 1.5 inch on normal ride height. I wanted to keep the rake, so no adjustment on the rear. I went with a larger tire, kept my stock wheels and cant find a definitive answer on should i change the UCAs. I kinda thought since it is an air susp...that the UCAs would be designed for that kind of travel. Entry/exit up thru OR2. Dont do any offroading so i am guessing i may be fine with the stock UCAs riding mostly at the adjusted NORMAL ride height which is 1.5 inch above the factory setting. Any input is appreciated.

I think I’m going to skip them, guys have said that they do fine without them. I only keep trucks up to around 30-35k miles with no real off-roading, hope I don’t regret it!!
Not doing any longer shocks either.

Checkmate, cant wait to see your pics and measurements!
DNA Place, I am doing the mopar 2" UCA's; our ORP trucks have the same exact UCA's as non-orp trucks. Im doing this mainly because I drive a lot; construction and hunting and I want to have good drop without the airshock rubbing the uca and feel better with a little better angle.

Thanks for the response and good luck with the build. Be sure and show some pics.

DNAplace, do you have any more pics of your truck? Looks just like mine.

Looks good, 2" wheel spacers?

Only 1.5"...didn't want that much outside, plus to much weight offset

You still gettinf yours done this week?

Going in tomorrow!

Got it done!! Came out great!
2” center to center comes out to 42 1/2 front and 3 3/4 equals 43 1/4 rear, may fine tune a little, going to let everything settle.
Definitely scary when you disconnect the battery had to wait about four hours for everything to come back up and be able to put it into front and alignment mode to do alignment!
I have learned a ton from these forums so this is my set up, it’s nice to use different vehicles as references!
Air ride Daystar leveling kit with Revel linking, 20 x 10 -12 Black Rhino Sierra wheels with 295 60 20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. No rub at full lock, but very close! Thinking of mud flaps may have to trim a bit! Almost flush, maybe a little poke on rear, with the factory flares.
Glad I went with the -12 after looking at tons of pics on Custom Offset! Only issue does far is the TPMS is not linking up, I paid extra to gave them installed in my package! Driven on and off for an hour or so now still nothing! Others I have had only took a little while! I’ll be pissed if they have to take apart, would have to have them cover the cost to have a local shop do it, but would hate to run the risk of a nick or scratch dismounting and remounting them!! May have to take to dealer to link them!
Feel free to ask any questions!!

That looks great! Did you install just the rear links with 1” lift?

Daystar leveling kit and leveling links front and rear. Rear links give just a little rake, didn’t want to go too high so not to cause issues with air ride!
