I have a 2022 ram 1500 big horn. Will putting a 2.5 levwling kit hurt anything with the suspension?

Not if it’s done properly

Don’t run pucks. Run the 5100 bils ride height struts. Zero issues if installed correctly.

I’m taking it to an off road shop so I would think they would do it right.
You would hope.
For good measure and to remove any incompetent actions. We have preferred vendors on this forum. @Nick@GotExhaust is your go to for a pre built leveling kit. The Fox 2.0 coil over would be my recommendation as your off road shop just takes your struts out and puts them in. At the end of your lease if you decide not to buy the Fox coilovers will retain their value at resale.

dont do level spacers. Do an adjustable strut or coil over. As @Quick_Shifter said if you lift/level your RAM correctly it wont hurt anything. Since its a lease I assume you do not plan to off road the truck. You got a couple options. On a lower cost option you can do Eibach struts and I recommend their coils as well. If you want an even more push ride than that you can can go with Fox 2.0 coil overs.

message me if interested and I can give you some quality options and we can discuss pricing.

OP, sounds like you just want simple spacers. Tons of people have them and have no issues. Contrary to what some people say, they don't change ride quality and aren't going to hurt anything with the suspension. They are simple and inexpensive and can be easily removed once your lease is up. Maybe if you are planning some heavy-duty off-roading you might want full struts, but for 99% of daily driving spacers work just fine.

I recently installed the eibach adjustable shocks on my 2018 1500 Laramie. Reused the stock coils. I absolutely love the setup. Leveled perfectly and firmed up the handling without negatively impacting the ride. Did it myself including swapping coils. Not hard at all. Good luck. I’m gonna do the rear next.

I have 33's on mine, but the general consensus is that with a level you can go up to 35.

Everything is so expensive now, so companies like Rough Country can sell their cheap, Chinese made crap on people.

They also have a lot of people convinced that you need to swap out struts and control arms for a simple level. Motofab 2" level puck costs $40.

I don't know if I'd spend that much on a truck that I don't own. Sure, if you plan to purchase at the end, but the 2 key words here are IF and PLAN.

But there seems to be mixed emotions on using pucks. What are the downsides of using pucks?
