2012 4x4 Ride height n suspension

[OHHPH3]

Ok. Ive poured through the related threads and cant seem to land on a good answer.

I have a 2012 ram 1500 hemi 5.7L V8 4x4

Doing suspension work.

Front strut assemblies need replaced.

Ride height is 36in top of wheel well front and back. Id like to maintain this. Does not have a leveling kit according to the mechanics ive talked to, and it dont seem to me like I have one.

I haul a camper thats just within capacity and my utility trailer a lot. Even with the leveling hitch it still squats quite a bit.

Id like to improve upon this issue.

I dont do a lot of off roading but id like to be able to go play a bit sometimes and also not worry about messing stuff up.


I was advised to get moog.
Tempted with the Bilistine 5100 since ive seen em mentioned a lot on here. Wouldnthat dolve my squat and not change front or rear ride height?
Can I pay $$$... yes, should I... eh i dont really wanna.



Side note: Ive replaced the CV axel up front (of course) 2 times now, and about to do it again. Typical rear axel. Front and rear dif replaced, new sway bar links in front, duralast truts up front (bad after 5 years), new lower ball joint on pass side and replacing other soon, replacing upper control arm bushings soon as theyre finally going. Suspension checked just the other day and all else is gtg for a while. Im at 216,000 ish miles.

you can do the 5100's and keep the stock height. They have a stock perch, so you can get the benefits of the 5100's without the lift. I would do front and back. Plus if they pull it out and it turns out you do have a leveling kit, you can now use the 5100's to sit level. Shocks wont help squat when towing, just control. For squat you either need stiffer springs or air bags.

What does your front CV angles look like right now? are they level??

Ok cool. Ill go with the 5100s F n B, then. Thats been the biggest kicker, keeping it level.

If i upgrade the leaf springs to say a 2500s, itll kick the back up more?

CVs look mostly if not fully level if memory serves, kinda why i threw that in here since im not really sure whats up. Hoping ive actually already solved the problem with the work ive done already.

ok. im dumb. Idk why i thought i had Fn leaf springs. of course i have coil springs in the back. my fault.

And to answer your question about the CVs, yes they are level.
