Revel Performance lift links for air ride suspension

[sirj00]

in 22 inch they make a 285/45,50,and 55 no 285/60r22 that would be nearly 36 inches tall .

yes you are correct.

2019 Limited 4x4 with ramboxes, no etourque
- Borla cat-back touring with resonator
- 20% ceramic tint all around and pano
- Leveled with Daystar spacers and revel links (0.5in rake)
- Nitto ridge grapplers 285/55r22 (34.6x11.7)

So since the Daystar spacers are 2.5".... does the level kit have to also be at 2.5" or does it really matter? Not sure if they need to match or not...

it says 2.5" but the spacer is actually 1.5"

Due to suspension geometry the spacer will be smaller than the actual lift amount

I played it safe and got 285x65x20 that’s equivalent to 34.6x11.2/20

Thanks no problèˋm with factory 20 9 black stock rim in anne Lebel then ?

Looking forward to pics. I have the same Nittos on my truck at stock height and am considering links to level.

BTW, also in the PNW.

Here are the pics.

This is in normal position with about 1 1/4" lift. No rub on the 305/45's. Great ride and quiet tire.

Nice. I just ordered the 3D printed links.

I only have the front links installed and measured them both at 2 1/4" eye to eye on the link. I'm perfectly level rear to front and side to side. I also have the day star spacer so maybe it's easier for the truck to level side to side since it doesn't have to fill up the airbags as much as it would without the spacers. Do you have spacers ?

Interesting. Man I tried everything to get mine to be be perfect but couldn't achieve it. I didn't touch the back and it measure a 1/4 inch short on the drivers side rear as well. The Revel guy said it was due to Ram moved the gas tank over a bit. Do you have the larger (33 gal) gas tank by any chance?

I'm a perfectionist to this bugs me but I believe the Revel guy because I messed with my links for a couple hours. Taking them off, measuring them exact putting them back on, making the drivers side shorter, making the passenger side longer etc with no luck.

Let us know if you get an evel level on both sides. Are you going 1.5 inches or 2?

I bought the fixed length ones. I'll measure before/after.

Okay, I just went out and measured and the back is 39.5 on both sides. The left was only low by an 1/8 inch. Maybe driving it around helped it out? Anyway, I just gave the left link one turn so I may be completely level side to side soon.

On another note, just waxed my truck today and noticed Ram isn't the best with paint work. Orange peel and imperfections. Still love my truck though.

I have the 33 gallon tank but never paid attention to whether the tank was full or not when measuring out my settings so maybe it sits different when full or empty. I think if you get close you’ll be happy.... after awhile you won’t notice a 1/4” off one side or the other. I often park on uneven ground and I hear the truck trying to level out.... it never gets it quite right but it’s still obvious that it’s higher than stock and still looks really nice. I say leave it where it sits and see what the truck does over time.

Seriously. I notice this too with the Billet Silver color. Crazy considering that is a "premium" paint option.

I was waiting but that was only to provide some greater resistance on the socket. I have the adjustable ones because I was helping him decide on what he should print for a fixed link. Ride is fine, it's not stock but the tires don't help wither. The fixed is set at 75mm which should provide a slight rake in the back. I know when I tried to go exactly level I received a "service air ride suspension" message a few times but it went away after few seconds. I adjusted them just a bit but that was just today.

Any tips for installing the 3D printed links. The stock links came off very easily. The fixed plastic 3D printed one are not cooperating. I even boiled them for a couple minutes.

I also messaged Mike Bit through the Shapeways site. Hopefully there is an easy solution.

I returned the 3D printed links. Mike never replied back and I couldn't get them to install by hand or with pliers. The hole just seemed too small. Watched a guy on YouTube struggle mightily as well. Anyhow, I ordered the Revel links and will post after they are installed.

Revel links snap right on. Put a little slickem in the holes before install

I just did the daystar spacers, and revel links for a 1.5” level up front. Added nitto terra grapplers g2 305/45/22XL tires also. Looks great. Rides great.

So.... I’ve added my 2 bits to as many of these posts as I can since as I was doing my suspension i found lots of info here .
But it was all over the forum.

Here’s what I’ve compiled to do the whole thing without getting taken to the cleaners or even do it yourself

Daystar part # KC09113BK
This is the kit. It requires the links as a combo so I assume that’s why they state it’s not for air.... I’ve seen so many with this exact kit how can they be wrong!?! Lol.

This is my favourite part less then $50 Canadian dollars and 1/2” build time. I think they are cleaner looking and fit perfectly (not bulky) and the revel links are so overpriced.
Ball socket to build your own sensor links
8mm stainless
Use stainless threaded rod and cut at 35-40mm. 50mm is dead level and each 5 mm is 15mm lower suspension. ... ish
40mm rod = 50mm eye to eye

End Fittings – Metal Ball Socket – LST Gas Springs / Lift Supports

Followed this video to the letter on my 2019. Worked like a charm.

285/60 R20 Nitto EXO grappler on Fuel Contra rims 20” with +1 offset.

I’m so happy with the result. The truck has an aggressive look but the offset doesn’t fling rocks all over the side .
The truck rides exactly like stock the tires are really quiet.

Looking to mirror these set ups as well. For those that have put on larger tires, are you also changing the spare? If so, does the spare still fit when you add a larger (33-35'') tire?
