I have a 2014 Ram 1500 w/ Air Ride. I’m trying to remove the air ride and go traditional. I have a 6in Rough Country lift kit. The kit comes complete springs/struts, etc… I was wondering if I’m going to run into any mounting issues when trying to switch over? Do I need to change my bump stops? Or should it me pretty straight forward for an experience installer to swap?

I already bought the lift which one should I buy and where are you located?
BDS bro. Rough Country is trash unless you're strictly going for looks and not going to use it offroad whatsoever. BDS has an unconditional lifetime warranty on all parts for as long as you own the truck. I have a 6 inch lift and dual steering stabilizer on my truck and it drives better than it did stock on roads and floats over crappy lease roads and offroad conditions. Mcgaughy's makes a great one too, but to me you really can't beat a lifetime warranty and you can always run different shocks if Fox doesn't give you the ride quality you want. They will, though. promise.

I’ll look them up, but I’m definitely just going for looks. There isn’t much off road driving near me. I just want her to look more aggressive.

Rough country can’t even get the looks right. It’s never ok. They are a marketing company that is why you will literally find their stuff everywhere

There are plenty of options to fit your budget and looks you’re going for.

I put the BDS lift kit in my own truck and I could not be happier. It’s been a year and a half with absolutely no issues. Rides better than stock.
