I’ve had this Limited with air suspension since May and as much as I love this truck, the handling left something to be desired. The body roll in turns was more than I liked and the 20” Bridgestones didn’t give me much confidence.

Since then, I’ve leveled her using Revel links, raised the front and lowered the rear a little. This week I installed the Hellwig sway bar and changed the wheels and tires. I bought a set of Fuel Rebel 22x10 wheels and Hankook Dynapro AT2’s in 305/45. With the -13 offset, it widened the track almost 4”. Huge difference now. Much more stable now and she takes those freeway sweepers at ease.

I’m probably not the typical truck driver but I like to drive a machine that makes me comfortable and confident at speed. I’m much happier with her now.

Sounds like you moved in the right direction, looks great and if it handles better another major plus in my mind.

When you say you raised the front and lowered the rear; do you remember how much (give or take) the links were different. Your truck looks great and the ride height is perfect for my taste.

Yeah, I didn't want to just raise the front and have a tall truck with large fender gap and I'm never going to install a lift kit on this truck. I just wanted to even out the look. I raised the front around an inch and lowered the rear a little more than an inch. The factory rake was crazy when I bought it. It's much better now. I also just finished my last exterior mods so here's what it looks like now.

Your truck looks great. That blacked out trim is a really nice addition. Great ride man!

How did you lower your rear? I have a 2020 limited and I wanted to lower the rear, but the MaxTrac lowering coils does not work with Rams with the air ride suspension.
