Hi all,
I just purchased a 2010 Dodge ram 2500 SLT and it has a 3 inch lift kit. I’m wanting to take everything back to the stock suspension because I bought the truck to tow with. Can anyone tell me what years are interchangeable on suspension components? Example, coil, springs, control, arms, etc..

Should be 2010-2013 for sure…but even the 2003-2009 some stuff should be the same.

If you haven't, make sure you verify exactly what you need to replace. There can be a big difference in what a "lift kit" entails. For example you can get a 3" kit that is simply coil spring spacers and shock extensions in the front. Or you could have a full kit that has replacement suspension control arms and everything. Though you may not really need to replace the controls if they are aftermarket.

Agree with 62blazer, there are lots of ways to lift these so it will depend on what was done to know how to undo it. Pictures would be very helpful.

As far as compatibility, I think some of the steering stuff will be the same with the '09 third gens but before that was the Y style drag link. Shock numbers might be the same but I think the coils vary in listed years depending on what brand you look at.
