2019+ Rams with Lifts/Levels, and/or aftermarket wheel tire setups

That wheel and tie combo is perfect! Man, that looks good!

I appreciate that! I look back at the truck every time I have to walk away from it.

Just picked this up about a week ago. 2020 Limited Night Edition w/air ride. Previous owner leveled it on 305/55/22 Toyo OC's. Bakflip rolling hard cover and added a Bed Slide. Love it so far. Nicest vehicle I've ever owned.

Just finished 4" BDS Lift w/35s. Looking to put on some bushwacker fender flares and duraflap mud flaps.

While I'm not exactly leveled, I'm close enough for now (I've been planning on a full Fox PE 2.5 setup in the future).

For anyone that remembers, I ordered a 2023 Laramie G/T in 5/2023, it was delivered 7/14/23, and was totalled 7/21/23.

Their insurance paid me the full purchase price for my G/T on 7/27/23 and I ordered a 2024 Laramie G/T on 7/28/23.

I had ordered Eibach Pro-Truck struts/shocks for the 2023 while it was being built..and now, a year later, I finally put them on the 2024, so I installed the Eibachs yesterday..the other minor suspension mods were already done prior.

What an AMAZING difference!

My setup now:

Eibach Pro-Truck struts in Front set on the bottom "0" clip, but with the 1" lift ORP/ORG (-0250AC) springs replacing my OEM (-0237AB) springs. These springs measure exactly 1" longer unsprung, and gave exactly 1" lift installed with the Eibach struts. I also have Energy Suspension Poly-E 36mm bushings on the OEM swaybar.

Eibach Pro-Truck shocks in the Rear. The rear springs are OEM, but the RR spring has one full coil cut off to closer balance the truck side to side. (factory was 5/8" lean to the left, now it's a 1/4"). I have Airlift bags in the coils set at 5psi. I also have a Progress Technologies 25mm rear swaybar set on the tightest setting.

I am absolutely floored at how the Eibachs completely eliminated the side to side "float", the brake dive, and the huge cornering lean that was annoying with the OEM struts!

I had been disappointed with how my prior swaybar changes hadn't tightened up the cornering sway very much. Now, the big, heavy, tank corners tight like a sport sedan with very little sway at all..it's fan-frickin-tastic!!

The ride quality is still super silky smooth just at it was OEM, but now the G/T can be cornered with reckless abandon! To me, this Laramie is more comfortable and better handling than any OEM trucks, and most sedans now.

My Front was at 37.0" and now is at 38.0".
My Rear was at 38.625" and still is at 38.625".
So, I went from 1.625" rake to 0.625" rake..which looks way better, but handles incredibly!
These measurements are with a full tank of gas..when empty, the truck lifts almost a 1/4".

Now, I'm giving a rethink to the Fox PEs and may just go ahead and order up some Fuel Variant 20x9 (+1) wheels and the new 295/60-20 Bridgestone Deuler AT Ascents and call it a day! (Haaa)

Looks good. This is how you level.

2020 Bighorn 4wd quad-cab. I went with the Eibach pro-truck lift and I believe it was the 2.0 if I’m not mistaken. Coils, rear shocks, adjustable struts and whatnot. I originally wanted something in the neighborhood of 33’s and a hair tougher than stock, but you know how that goes lol.

I’m not a fan of dozing with the brosephs, so the 18” wheel choices are rather limited as you all have become well aware. The space between the caliper and the inside of an 18” wheel is rather nonexistent. And the factory wheel being a positive 19mm leaves nary a fingertip between even the baloney-skin 275’s and the upper ball joint.

I realize there’s probably a whole slew of wheels out there that do fit, but if you’re not into faux bead-locks, or you want a smooth lip, it really does narrow the pool by a lot. We’re kind of limited by offsets as well when it comes to just a simple off-road design. It seems like you either get a +18, a +0, -12, or from there it goes into rock chipping territory.

After a ton of cruising the internet and finally perusing WheelPros website, I finally found a plane-jane wheel in a zero-offset that fit the bill. I decided to wrap them in 285/75/18 BFG KO3 rubber. I wanted a noticeably taller tire than stock, but not cartoonishly wide. As it turns out, I got not noticeably wider, but cartoonishly tall lol. Kidding. Maybe a little. But I’m happy with the results for now and I did not have to trim a darn thing. I may grab the spanner wrench and give the front struts another turn or two after the suspension settles. But here she is. And thanks again for allowing me to fly under the radar and creep the forum lol.

Came out nice ol’ son how do you like the tires on the highway (noise/ comfort)?

Thank you sir! I drive mostly two-lane so I haven’t had it on the big highway yet, but it’s not bad. The KO3’s hum a little bit, but that’s to be expected. The 10-ply tires combined with the Eibach suspension is a slightly stiffer ride. Our lovely Illinois roads put ‘er to the test that’s for sure lol. It soaks up the bigger stuff pretty good, but you notice the washboard type stuff in the seat a little more.

i have a question what do i need to level my 19 limited with air suspension? i previously had a 21 ram laramie without the air ride and i used the bilstein 5100 `s to get it to level. can it be the same setup to do? thanks

There are multiple ways to do it but from what I’ve seen this is the best kit to do it.

You can buy adjustable links from AIRLINKS on eBay, or go to revel links website and run their links and daystar spacers.

Some people have also used AlphaOBD to change the settings for the amount of air in the bags . If you can afford it readylift is the way to go if not the other options will result in a stiffer ride and may take away OR2 or OR3

The price ain’t crazy. A good suspension with UCAs for coil suspension OPENS around $2k so this is very reasonable. Especially for Limited buyers.

YEA ITS NOT BAD NOW U CAN SPRING FOR A 4-6" BDS LIFT AND HIT THE $2000+ MARK BUT THE AIR BAGS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR MALL CRAWLING. THESE TRUCKS WITH AIR SUSPENSION CANT HIT WHOOPS OR ROCK CRAWL ETC AS WELL AS A COIL AND SPRING VEHICLE. (IN MY OPINION)

thanks guys, i`ll check into it.

What offset did you end up going with? -12?

Oh shoot! I must have left that out. Here I am trying to help other people like myself and I done rambled on and left out the specifics lol. The wheels are a zero-offset 18x8.5 KMC Terra. The zero-offset pushed the wheel out just enough to make me feel comfortable about running a larger tire. There was hardly any room at all between the stock tire and the upper ball joint. Now you could throw a cat through there.

This is not an opionion. This is a fact.

Yesterday & today, I did my 10,000 oil, filter, and tire rotation.

While I was at it, I decided to take the front Eibach struts off and reset the clip to Position #2.. which is 0.6" lift..added with the ORP/ORG Front springs I swapped in previously..giving me 1.6" total lift in front..up from the 1.0" I had at Clip #1 + ORPs.

I'm now perfectly leveled with 38.50" LF/LR and 38.75" RF/RR. I still have the 0.25" Left lean as before, of course.

The truck rides perfectly now and feels perfectly balanced..it looks and rides just as I've wanted and hoped it would.

I'm definitely starting to rethink not throwing 4-5k at Fox PE 2.5s (and doing 35x12.5x20s with those), and instead justing staying with these Eibachs (and doing 295/60/20s on Fuel Variant 20x9s)..this is a 95% on-road truck right now.

Fox and 35s would give me 40.75"L/41.00"R ride height.
Eibach and 295s would give me 39.50"L/39.75"R ride height.

Wifey-pooh wants a new Durango AlcHEMI SRT392 for her, so this saves me some cash too!

Will keep you all posted!
