2" Rough Country Spacers

[tim5779]

Hey all, new to the thread. Former GMC owner. I've owned GM my entire life, decided to try out a RAM this time around. Love the truck! The ride is unbelievable! As many of you probably know, GM trucks are famous for their rakes. Rough Country's 2" level spacers take care of that right away and do not sacrifice ride quality or compromise any of the suspension components. I've installed them on every GM truck I've ever owned....ANYWAY, the RAMS are not nearly as bad, but I'd still love to level out the front, and ditch these sissy 32" street tires they put on there. I'm thinking the Rough Country 2" level spacers, and maybe bump up to some more aggressive 33's. I'm not looking for anything crazy, I just want to add just a touch of aggressive. This setup should give me exactly what I'm looking for...HOWEVER, I've read quite a bit on here that the spacers for the RAM might not be a good idea? Any thoughts, advice, experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys!

Tim

I think that pre load spacers are the main ones that change ride quality, since it stretches out the stock strut. I have seen several reviews that said top hat spacers are the way to go and have little to no change in ride quality.

Ready Lift 2inch preload spacer?

I just ordered the 2inch Ready Lift preload spacer from CJ pony. Has anyone installed this kit on there 5th gen or has had them on there truck before. I had fox 2.0 coilovers on my 16 F150 and and the ride quality was good. There is currently no coilovers I see available yet and 1300 cost for...

I installed these, no ride quality loss, and brought it to the perfect stance (level) for me. Installed in a couple of hours. Needed an alignment afterward. I have a 4X2wd.

Nice. I did not know these existed! I'd much rather install these than have to disassemble my strut and mess with the travel. Thanks!

forgive my ignorance.. are these spacers your suggest the "top hat" style? And i'm guessing "top hat" goes on top of the strut where as the pre load type go ontop of the spring within the strut ?

Thanks
