As the title states, im looking at different leveling shocks for the front of my 13 ram 1500 4x4. I currently have 5100's set at 2.1 lift, 35 Nokian Tires. They're decent shocks. I drive mostly highway for work, but do some rough riding on the weekends, nothing exceptional. I find the 5100s are stiff hitting road holes, speed bumps, etc. I know i wont get OEM ride quality, but the 5100s i feel just are not cutting it and kind of annoying.
I am considering going to the 6112s, but recently was doing some reading and stumbled on the Dobinson IMS. So im curious as to how these two compare. Not a lot I can find for the ride quality on Ram 1500, but a lot of Toyota guys have them and say good things. So if anyone out there has some experiecne with either, id love to hear.
Im keeping the 5100s on the rear, but might change to the eibech 1" spring, since ive heard that is a pretty good setup. I am running a bed rack with Roof top tent that probably sits around 4-5 inches higher than the cab. I do need to change sway bars and links to get a more planted feel, especially in turns. But that's not going to change the harshness of the 5100s on the front.
