2020 1500 Limited Leveling/Lift Kit with Air-Ride Suspension?

[Ellisstrong]

I went by and paid the man today. He’s got the wheels and tires on order and my links arrive Saturday. Hopefully have it all done next week. He couldn’t go any lower on the price so I was like fk it. Let’s do it. He was working on some ****ty lambo when I pulled up lol.

He seems like a good dude.

I’m still getting with him as soon as my rims get here. I talked to him some on Facebook but won’t schedule until I know I’ll have my rims. Let me know how your install goes.

What size tire did you go with? Any rubbing or trimming?

 

[Carlos.33193]

I just did revel links and Daystar spacers on my 2020 limited after putting on 305/45R22 tires, they didn't rub or anything prior to the leveling kit, and it looks so much better. It took me 3 hours to do one side. I haven't done the other side yet. I recommend just having a shop do it if it's a reasonable price. It seemed like every single bolt on my car was cross threaded, the entire length of the screw required 100% of my effort to turn. The upper control arm was a pain to get back in The suspension is sitting roughly at 38.5" in aero mode in all 4 corners. And 41.5" in OR2.

I went with Nitto Ridge Grapplers in a 275/65R20 size on the factory wheels. They measure 34.09" and there is zero rubbing without trimming.

Can anyone tell me why this won’t work on the air suspension?

The upper control arms don't have the mounting points for the air suspension sensors that control ride height.

The upper control arms don't have the mounting points for the air suspension sensors that control ride height.

So if they would put the mounting post on there it would be Compatible?

If you look in this Thread there's some good info.

The whole Daystar and sensor link mystery solved in one spot

Here’s what I’ve compiled to do the whole thing without getting taken to the cleaners or you can even do it yourself . I did! Torque wrench and good notes on wrench size and torque spec. Daystar part # KC09113BK This is the kit. It requires the links as a combo so I assume that’s why they...

The first picture shows how the link connects to the UCA, which would be missing in the kit you're looking at.

Jordan3206 in another thread used aftermarket tubular steel UCA and drilled in his own Ball Studs for the links... a novel approach I'm strongly considering at some point if the aftermarket doesn't make something similar first.

Air Suspension Warning

Definitely a possibility. The pressure in your bags in normal mode is closer to e/e now

What is best option to level a 2020 1500 Limited w/ the factory air-ride suspension?

I'm happy with the Daystar and Revel links. I was able to fit some larger tires with leveling the truck.

So I finally pulled the trigger on the BDS 4" Lift. I also upgraded to some new XD 20" Rims with the Nitto Ridge Grappler in 35's. No rubing w/ the 35's. Definitely a little higher than I expected at the normal 3 position on the air ride, but not to big of a deal. Will work on some better pics.

My control arms have been perfect. No noise and perform great.

Looks great, would love to see some more pics. Would you say it drops about 2mpg?

Which BDS kit did you buy? I looked on their website and it doesn’t show a lift kit that is air ride compatible.

Looks like it’s only for 2019, but I saw someone on YouTube, goes by the name rocky roade or something, and he got it installed on a 2020 eco diesel. https://bds-suspension.com/product?kid=1641H
