Installing Project M Camper on 2021 1500 Laramie and wondering what I will need suspension wise - Blistein 5100 related

[tommy831]

I'm getting the camper installed on Feb 10. I talked to my mechanic about it and he said I might want to get the Bilstein 5100s front and back with the spring in the rear.

I like the look of the rake on the truck. I recently replaced the stock tires with a 2" taller (275/65R20) and slightly more aggressive tire. I wouldn't mind lifting the front and rear by 1". Would I need to replace the UCAs?

Bilstein wouldn’t be a bad idea but you’ll probably be looking at going with a heavier spring like Cargomaxx to prevent the rear from sagging as bad. Whats the approx weight that the camper will be adding to the bed? Control arms are never a bad idea when leveling.. the Mopar 2” off-road Control arms are stupid cheap not to or course there’s beefier options. Hopefully payload doesn’t become an issue.

Thanks!
The camper weighs about 450lbs and I will propably roll with 100lbs of gear

550 pounds roughly yeah id look at Cargomaxx springs. Theres also Bilstein B12 springs but those are more of a progressive style spring I run them with probably 400lbs of gear in the back (Jobox/tote/cooler etc), lowered the rear maybe 1/2-1” or so but rides fantastic both loaded and unloaded but you may need more spring with a camper on the back.
