2012 3500 Leveled

[jle7474]

I am new here to this forum but I have been through quite a few posts to see if someone has already asked the same question and have not found a response. I would like to level my new ram 3500 diesel but I am not a fan of running the spring spacers up front. I am new to dodges but every other truck I have owned in the past as soon as I touched the front suspension the truck was never the same. What I would like to do instead is remove the 3 spacers in the rear leaf spring pack in the rear of the truck. Has anyone done this and how does it look? Is there any disadvantage of doing this?

Thank you,
Justin

Your best bet would be a carli leveling spring in the front
I'm guessing you bought a 3500 for a reason and removing leafs basically defeats the purpose of a 3500

Load capacity will go down removing leaf springs.

Sorry I thought you said leafs not block but of your concerned with ride quality I would still recomen spending te money for carli leveling coils

Thank you for the reply. Does anyone know what the largest tire I can run on the stock suspension is? I know I can run 35" tires with the leveling kit but if I decide to keep the front stock how big can I go?

With stock wheels?
You can fit 35s with or without a level, either option On stock wheels they will rub on te control arms
If you don't want any rubbing 285/70/17 is about your best bet assuming you have an SRW
If its DRW then unless you run spacers 285 will rub against each other on the back when you have the truck loaded
