New to this, so I hope I have done this right. Recently purchased a 2019 Ram 2500 with the 6.4l Hemi. I applied the Rough Country 2.5 leveling kit with Rough Country N3 shocks front and rear. I live in Twentynine Palms, CA and travel on/off road daily for work. I hit the highway for the first time and the truck started seesawing. I have never experienced this with any of my trucks, however this is the first 3/4 ton I have ever owned. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Rough country designed a kit that exceeded what your factory track bar can handle. Also rough country shocks are not the greatest on a heavy truck.
My recommendation is to send a pm to @Nick@GotExhaust and order an adjustable track bar for the front. (I can help with what length to set it at if you order it from Nick)
I would highly recommend you ditch the spacer leveling kit and do full length coil springs. Nick can help you with options and pricing.
Get your truck alignment done at a shop that does bigger trucks.

Thank You Quick_Shifter. That confirmed some thoughts I had about the shocks. Thanks for the point of contact. Track bar is something I did not consider, but will keep in mind once I replace the leveling kit. I was thinking Carli or Thuren leveling kits. What's your thoughts?

They have great kits. You would literally be going from worst to best LOL.
My honest opinion if you are going to go that route go with the pin top kit. If you’re not wanting to spend the money for the pin top, I would highly recommend icons kit paired with a thuren track bar and Fox shocks. Nick can set you up with a full kit at a forum member discounted price. Not to mention the best customer service you have ever experienced

As always @Quick_Shifter provided excellent info! When lifting/leveling that high a front track bar is recommended. Also those RC shocks are not good. I recommend swapping them out to something better. I really like the shock options from ICON and Fox. Top notch quality that will offer a great ride. Then for leveling coils Icon or Thuren. Track bar also either Icon or Thuren.

Message me if you would like a quote on anything or need more info.
