Just recently had a leveling kit installed on my 2019 ram 1500 Laramie. Before the installation truck rode like a dream barely could even feel rough spots going down road, now it rides like crap. Feel every single spot in a road. Even on the interstate it does same thing. It’s like a constant rough ride. Is this normal with leveling kit, if not what could my problem be. Truck is brand new. Just rolled off lot a week ago

What leveling kit did you get?
This is typical of preload spacers. You would be better off changing to a top hat style spacer. Something like this would be a much better ride. I have the Readylift 2" kit with control arms and the ride has not changed a bit.

I'll second the ReadyLift leveling kit. It didn't change my ride at all. Changing tires did from the stock ride but not much.

The only other thing that could’ve caused this is if the OP did not loosen the UCA bushing bolts and the lower control arm bushing bolts and allow the bushings to re-center they are now under torque twist at their new ride angles which will cause the ride to stiffen and be harsher than normal. I am having the same issue with mine after installing a 2.5 Moto fab kit, I am going to be loosening my pivot bolts today and then this weekend having an alignment done .

Do you know if the motofab kits will fit the new body styles?

Yes, the upper mount hasn’t changed between the 4th and 5th gens
They will fit. As ET said the strut mount has not changed from 4th gen to 5th gen. Any top hat spacer that fits a 4th gen 4WD truck will fit a 5th gen 4WD OR 2WD truck as they are now the same. Be aware that many people here, including myself, also change out the upper control arms when leveling the truck. Some think it is unnecessary, some think it is mandatory. I did it on mine just for peace of mind. 4th gen trucks were notorious for having the upper ball joint ripped out of its socket. The 5th gen UCAs are a new design so truly it is too early to tell how they will hold up long term. You can get the Readylift UCAs for around $350 on Amazon or get the UCAs from the Mopar lift for about $100 for the pair. Not saying you have to get either, just something to think about.

Tomorrow, I am planning to drop my 2019 ram 1500 longhorn for leveling to the dealer. It is a Mopar leveling kit. Anyone thinks will it messed up my ride quality? This deal i negotiated with my salesman when i got my truck.

no it is regular 2wd
Mine is 4 wheel drive and with the rough county preload spacer it ruined my ride, swapped it to a 4th gen ram fab tech top mount kit and I got my factory ride back. So if the mopar kit is a preload spacer I wouldn’t recommend it all at.

Do you happen to have a link to the mopar UCAs?
I do not. Do a quick search for Mopar UCAs or control arms and you should be able to find the part number pretty easily.

There is no such thing as a Mopar leveling kit for the 5th Gen Ram. They only offer a full 2” lift kit that uses Fox shocks to achieve the lift. This will not level the truck, it will raise the front and the back 2”.

Yes. You are right .They have installed leveling kit aftermarket but approved by mopar.But looks like my ride quality compromised about 30% . Then i spoke to my service mgr.They have agree to install fox shocks with out charge. Because when I brought the truck ,They agree to put a leveling kit with the price. Do you think it gonna work out?
