I see a bunch of post involving air suspension ,larger tires and such . Here is my story.
I wanted to level my 22 1500 5.7 Limited 4x4 truck with factory 22" wheels and 3.21 gear not the off road jacked look. Truck also came with open diff which I do not know why they even offer that junk so installed a Tru-Trac, perfect. The rear of my truck measured Stock center of wheel opening to ground rear 39" and 37.25" same measure in the front. So I bought adjustable links for ride height sensers for the rear to lower to level truck was my goal. They offer lift lengths and lowering ones. Well they shipped a set for front and rear when I ordered rear only. I installed the rear and adjusted as low as it would go and it was within 1/2" of the front height but became very harsh ride. Looked under now it was on the compression bumpers in the Aero mode hi-way but tried a day or so. Well I put front on and had enough adjustment to go up and raised rear enough to get off the bumpers that it stayed on in the auto Aero mode. Wanted a better A/T tire and quiet good drive but did not want the 33x12.50 tires that were 10 and 12 ply ratings and heavy un sprung weight. Ended up going to a 305x45/22 Radar A/T which showed 33.1 tall compared to the 32.1 Perelli it came with and is 1" wider. Looks perfect to me. Speedo is 1mph off so I left it alone even though my Pulsar module is capable of adjusting for tires. Now it measures 39" rear height and 38.25 front, close enough to level for me and good ride and drive. Truck had wheel hop since new if it would spin dead stop, that never changed. Being always a RAM 2500 diesel man whole life this gas burner truck is a dog and continues to be.
MY 2 Cents. Hope this give info to someone trying to figure what they might do.
