Which UCA?

[Rplante3108]

Good morning everyone,

I have been reading up on most of the post here trying to figure out which UCAs to get. I have the fox 2.5 coilovers on the way and just for piece of mind, want to upgrade the UCA. When I have been searching and reading on readylift, tuff country, suspension connect. They all say that the wheel has to have a backspacing of 5 inches or less.

Well my stock wheel(22inch) has over 8 inches :/. So...is there a UCA that is an OEM replacement that has the uni-ball or able to handle the 2 inch lift/level in the front. Yes I have the rough country pre loaded on there now with 35s, but I am not 100% happy with the RC. I dont want to run a spacer because I would need atleast 3 inch(what she said) in order for this to work right?if you need more info, please let me know
Thanks!

Fox makes coil overs for our DT trucks? They are not listed on the fox website.

I will be the test dummy for it, but suspension connection.com is saying they do unless I am missing something?

Judging by the years listed that’s for the 2019 classic style ram 1500. Not our new style 5th gen.

Wont the shock/strut on the 2019 classic or even the 2018 Ram fit on the 5th gen? They have 2020 on there as well. People on her say it has the same set up as the 4th gen? Or am I wrong?

Thanks bgmshrm for that info. I just read another thread that has that same information. I did come across this on BDS website. For their 2019 DT 6"coilover system. They are using the Fox 2.5s. I'm still going to move forward and see. Also going to call the company I purchased them from to get more information. Thanks!

I talked to a fox rep today. They won’t have the 2.0 coilovers out for the 5th gens till next year. He said they have to release the Chevy setup then they will release the ram set up.

Those are custom coil overs in an extended length to accommodate the 6" lift. Not everyone knows this but Fox Factory owns BDS suspension which is why all their kits have a Fox coil over option.

That is good to know thanks for sharing the information.
