Good afternoon. First of all, I am writing from Brazil, so I apologize for any mistakes in my English.

I currently own a 2022 RAM 1500 Classic Night Edition, V8 5.7 Hemi, GAS, 4WD, Crew Cab. I have already installed FOX 2.0 front coilovers and rear shocks, and now I am looking to lift it by 2 inches.

I would also like to improve the dynamics of the rear suspension. At the moment, I find it very soft, and any small weight in the bed causes it to sag significantly. I was interested in progressive springs like those from ICON or CARLI, but the cost of bringing them to Brazil is prohibitive.

Therefore, I have found two options that I can bring at an acceptable cost, but I have little knowledge about them:

  1. Eibach PRO-LIFT-KIT model E30-27-001-02-02
  2. Bilstein model 36-286539
Could you help me choose which of these two would suit my needs better? With your expertise, what can you tell me about each of them? Do any of these improve load capacity?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Beat way to handle weight in the bed or on the hitch is with air bags. I put a set of Air Lift bags and they help a lot. As for.lift, I have the Eibach Pro kit and love it. If you want performance and handling upgrades look up Core 4x4. Upper and lower rear control arms will make it feel like you added horsepower. If you lift the rear end at all, even an inch, get an adjustable track bar from Core 4x4.

For clarification... when you lift the rear of the truck it will throw the rear end of of alignment slightly. The adjustable track bar is to correct that.

What do you mean by Air Lift Bag? Would it be this item? https://a.co/d/0hNI2ngT

How do these AirLift systems work? I drive a lot on off-road trails; wouldn't these air bags get damaged?

Regarding the weight issue, I usually don't carry much, but when I do put something in, I notice it tilts quite a bit. I asked about the weight because I saw some rear springs that claim to increase load capacity by up to 75%.

Is your Eibach Pro Kit the one with the shocks, springs, and coilovers? Do you feel that the car is firm when passing over road imperfections or when accelerating during overtaking?

I have the other parts of the suspension available here. When I lift the truck, I will make all these changes.

Since you’re already lifted 2” in the front with the Fox coil overs I would acquire the 2” rear springs made by super lift. Weight in the bed will let you sit without sagging and will be the least expensive option.
If you’re looking to get the front lifted I would recommend keeping your coilovers and installing a zone 6” lift

The bags go inside your springs. When inflated they stop the spring from compressing, at leat up to a point.

Airlift 5000 brother, The ones that go inside the springs are junk.

And use daystar cradles not to damage your bags.
