Warlock Lift Explanation - Read this before lifting/leveling your Warlock's

Hello all! With RAM continuing to produce these 4th Gens as the "Warlock" Package I figured I would make a Thread Explaining the Lift on these trucks as its a question that gets asked a lot. Of course RAM doesn't really put any info out there to help us in the aftermarket world. The Warlocks...

Factory part numbers ,find them.Otherwise it's nothing more then a rumour or whatever you think you know.

It's not a rumor. It's fact. You're making it clear you don't know what you're talking about. How can a truck with the small tires have raised ride height as an option then?

I'll say it once again,post up the factory part numbers for these so called springs you're talking about.I'm guessing you already looked and couldn't find anything to back you up,so now you're scratching bottom for excuses,lol.Once you find a factory part number showing their's differant springs,i'll believe you till,till then not so much. I already went through this at the dealer several years ago,when i was lowering my raised ride height 4X4,i started out looking for factory springs that were lower or differant at the dealer,and only the R/T has a differant spring

Coils are the same, struts are different. 2016 outdoorsman (raised ride height) uses

68040882AE for a strut.​

2019 classic similarly optioned, standard ride height, uses 68040880AH, confirmed through a dealer. And yes, it will list various trims for both struts because the raised ride height is available in nearly every trim, not just some. But it is standard on rebels, warlocks and outdoorsman trucks

My 2016 Sport has the air suspension option which allows you to lower the truck height to get in/out and 2 settings to raise the truck height above the “normal” height. Does this truck you are looking at (very sharp by the way) have the air suspension option?

Yea, it's funny wild one thinks only the spring P/N matters... the spring land on the strut matters just as much...

I have a question about my Wife's 2013 Ram 1500 Sport.The dealer we bought it from last year detailed it and waxed the stripes.There is now a haze that won't come off of the stripes.Any suggestions on how to remove the haze?

I am looking to buy a Ram 1500 around 2015-2018. I am in discussions with a seller. It is the sport trim with the black strips and 20" wheels. The contouring at the bottom looks to be lower than other trim levels - I could be totally wrong. I go offroad and pull trailers a lot so I would prefer a trim level that is not lower. Is this just perception or is there some contouring on this trim that brings it lower to the ground? Thx

I don't think they are any lower than any other Ram. Good looking truck, though.

The same springs do not come in to play here. The trucks frame can sit the same, but the body panel/bumper effects that give the sport look can drop lower down than the normal panels/bumper. My concern is f-ing up those body effects while off roading. Clearance to the underside should be equal or even better on the Sport due to the extra inch provided by the larger 20" wheels.

Ain't no spring land on the rear diff now is there.But you're funny too,thinking there's only one end to the trucks,lol

Man, the Ford forum I am used to is way less brutal than this forum! Is this telling us something about Dodge owners?

My 14 sport don't look ant different than the other trucks around here, and there are lots of them.
There is a few Ford guys , but I out grew that silly's 40 yrs ago
Mine is standard 20 in tires, 4x4, a 2wd may be lower? I had one 2005 and front was lower than this one. both club cabs.. This is when new, I do have build sheet, but not going to dig it out and get in the fight. BYW , no air ride, I hear that is problematic at -30 or 40 as we have quite regular here. Would be nice thou as the wife is starting have problems getting in the truck. I do have boards on it now.
