bilstein vs 3" supreme susp. spacer? Need help finding part (bilstein) 2WD

[Itsalifestylee]

Hey guys, I've read the stickies about leveling your truck and I'm sold on the Bilstein 1500 adjustables but i'm having trouble finding these online for the 2WD. I own a 2014 ram 1500 5.7 V8. The ones I find are saying the fitment is only for 4WD. I found these Supreme suspension 3 inch spacers for $85 on amazon, great reviews and for 2WD. However I would prefer the bilsteins.

For measurements the front is at 36 " and the rear is at 39" exactly. So the 3" spacer would work great. I believe the bilstein goes to 2.8" however the one for the 2WD only goes to 2.5"?? So im thinking the spacer would be a exact match although if i have to lose 0.5" for a better ride I'm more then willing.


If anyone can link me directly that would be great!

Also if anyone has used this spacer let me know.

Found these https://www.carid.com/bilstein/fron...eveling-strut-mpn-24-187367.html#applications Will lift 2.75 in the front however is for 4WD.

I also came across rough country 2" coil springs for my 2WD. That would be a option over the coil spacers.

Edit: on Maxtracs website they have 2.5 inch fox shocks with 2.5 coil springs for the 2wd.

If i can't find anything else this may be the winner

I ended up purchasing the supreme suspension spacer 3" and new movotech Supreme upper forged control arms. Hopefully this will be just fine, if not I'll go a different route.

I am looking for the same info, not a lot of talk here for spacers on 2wd trucks. I have the 3" supreme spacer as well and haven't installed it yet. How did yours workout? did you just do the spacer and control arm? How about longer shocks and/or coil?

-Bilstein 5100 leveling struts are for 4wd only. Bilstein makes a shock (different part #) that you may have seen for 2wd that are simply just shocks for a nicer ride, nothing to do with ride height. On this site, if you see people referencing bilstein shocks/struts 99% of the time they have a 4wd.

-Some people have spacers but coils or even spindles are the preferred route for leveling 2wd.

-2wd and 4wd suspensions are very different so I feel that you maybe have seen alot of talk about the UCAs, but once again, 99% of the time this is for 4wd suspension. Although they will work with 2wd, they are not as necessary to upgrade

-Try the search function, I typed in "2wd level" and 409 threads popped up. The info is on this forum, I have been here for 8 years, trust me.
