Coilovers

[Jeff Krawczyk]

I installed a 6inch lift on my ram right after buying it and now want to upgrade to coilovers looking for a site to find them, any suggestions.

You looking to go higher than the 6”?

Check out CJC offroad.

If you’re looking for a set of used Icon stage V hit me up.

If you want to go Fox you can get the BDS spec coil overs. If you want to go King you would need to custom order them, but they can be made in the length you'll need.

Fabtech have a performance package with Dirtlogic 2.5 COs for the front and Dirtlogic 2.25 shocks for the rear they use in their 6” lift. You can call and ask only for the COs and shocks.

Fox also have couple of options for 2.5 CO’s (without or with DSC) that will fit 6” lift. They make those for BDS 6” lift but they don’t have a matching 2.5 version for the back of the RAM 1500. So you can go with The Fox-BDS 2.0 rear shocks for their 6” lift or do Fox 2.5 for the 2500’s that will match the length you need for 6” lift in your truck or go ask Fox for 2.5 rear shocks valved for a 1500 on the same length they have for their 6” BDS 2.0 rear shock.

Other options is go custom length with King,Icon or Radflo, don’t believe SAW make COs or shocks for the 1500’s but it wouldn’t hurt to ask if you wanted something from that brand.

Good luck.

Thanks, that's what I think I'm going to do is get the fox co from their ram 6 lift, just have to figure out the rear...will look into the 2.5 from the 2500 kit...

Great this will save me a ton of time as I tried to look a little bit before work and had a hard time, I'm not great with searching things

Np, check with the 6" lift folks around here if this lenght will suite 6" lift better, i guess it'll depends on what you have now as well.

Fox 2.5 with Res,Part# 883-24-026, 31.59 extended, 19.45 compressed
Fox 2.5 with RES + DSC, Part# 883-26-026, 31.59 extended, 19.45 compressed.

Factory shocks are 25.5" extended, 16.50" compressed.
The 6" Fox 2.0 BDS shocks are supposed to be 30.05" 18.45", so either way you're in the ballpark.

The set of 2.5 rear shocks i posted for you in post#6 above are technically around 4" longer than stock, and you'll need about 2" bumpstops to run them.

This ones (post#9) are 6" longer than stock, you need about 3" bumpstop to run them.

Do you have or carry these fox 2.5 that are mentioned here, or do you carry or have access to kings that would fit a 6 inch lifted ram 2014...looking for front and back

We can special order those and drop ship them to you. We do have the Dirt logic's front and rear in stock. Message me for pricing if interested

What is better Fox or Icon?

 

[ram1500rsm]

King is the absolute best. Most tuner shops who do offroad suspension tuning for a living will tell you King doesn't cut corners when it comes to their stuff and what they use in their internals. Sometimes that makes King the pricier option but you get what you pay for. With that said i've had a bit of everyting throught out the years but Fox. They're all good in their own regards. If you can't choose picture a color scheme you'll like to see in your shocks when you stare at the truck.. King theme is silver with light blue, Fox can be silver with black or black with orange, Icon is silver with black and a hint of yellow

 

[Lyle Longboat]

I have looked Fox and the look goes with my black on flame red 1500. Plus the price isn’t bad at all. I got a good quote from Nick, shipping to Canada at that! But I like Icon and haven’t heard of King until now. I’ll check out King before pulling the trigger.

 

[Jeff Krawczyk]

Do you happen to know a good site for the kings that you can have made to custom length...or for a 6inch lift

 

[Ratket]

@Nick@GotExhaust is reputable here..

hand him a list and see what the price is, they should be able to source everything you want.

 

[Quick_Shifter]

I got my BDS/Fox 2.5 coil overs from @Nick@GotExhaust and they are phenomenal

 

[ram1500rsm]

Accutune offroad, Filthy Motorsport etc. This dudes are tuners so they know a thing or two about offroad suspensions.
But in your case I’d suggest you to stick to Fox since they have 6” lift options already for our application. There are no returns with custom specd shocks and I think no warranty either.

King doesn’t have a CO for the RAM 1500 with a 6” lift so it’ll have to be a custom spec, same with Icon.

Nick our vendor can start the process for you with Fox because there are part numbers for those so you get to enjoy full warranty or return procedures in case something goes wrong.

 

[Jeff Krawczyk]

Yeah that's what I decided to do is stick with the fox 2.5 and go through nick...thanks for all the input

 

[Dean J Gardner]

Fox 2.5 for 6" lift, I got them with the BDS kit, no DSC. They ride great, nice and smooth. Great quality parts. The 2" fox shock ride great also. These went in with the lift so it's hard to say what was lift and what was coilovers. Install was easy. I do wish I had bought the dsc version. They have been on the truck for 16k miles.
