Leveling Kit input for 37s

[Brandon9031]

Hello, everyone! I just got back into a diesel and loving it. Came from a 2016 Ram 1500 but before that had a 2012 RAM 2500 MEGA. Ive been surfing through the forums and must say there is a lot of great information shared. I can sometimes OVER research and second guess my picks. This is my work truck so I drive around to different job sites. I'm not afraid to take the truck off-road but it is unlikely that will happen but you never know. I will do some towing with it but mainly a 5th wheel toy hauler or just a trailer with a side by side. What are some suggestions to have an end goal of 37x12.50R20s and ride better than factory. I know these trucks can ride much smoother.

Was Looking at either this:

https://www.thurenfabrication.com/2014-2500-2013-3500-overland-front.html

w/ doing the 2.75 front spring and buying the matching rear shocks (I assume they have matching set)

or

https://carlisuspension.com/product...diesel-2-5″-leveling-systems/leveling-system/

I'm just not sure if I actually need to go ahead and do the Heavy Duty track bar or it can wait so unsure which kit or route to go. Thanks for any input or suggestions on a different kit. I personally would like to stay away from spacers.

Synergy has a basic kit as well that starts at 2.25" with front coil springs and has tuned Fox 2.0 shocks all around.

They also have an adjustable trackbar , radius relo brackets, tie rod and drag link optional as needed.

Keep the front lift low for less parts needed. You should be able to run 37's with a level with 18 wheels +12 / +18 offset

2.5” is the magic number above your going to need it, under 2.5” you don’t need it

Great, thank you for the suggestion. Ive seen there product just not familiar with the name so I kind of discounted them. But after looking over what they have to offer seems pretty reasonable for pricing. I knew what ever size wheel I needed would have to range from a +18 to +25mm. Haven't narrowed down what size wheels I want.

Ah, ok that helps a lot actually. I'm sure I'll do the track bar regardless but good to know the range just in case I couldn't pull the trigger for some reason.

Synergy is a big name in the Jeep community, and their parts are not cheap so i'm surprise to see Carli or Thuren being a little more expensive They do make stuff for the 3rd,4th and 5th Gen HD RAM trucks.
as an example if you ever think going with a higher lift

They say they have 5” springs for the newer rams in that video...but show them to me...only think I can find for the new rams is the leveling kit.

@Brandon9031 I have to agree that the Synergy kit is very well priced and keeps you under the 2.5" mark. Keep in mind other readers that they are made for diesel trucks

You're right. I called them and they said they haven't released 5” springs for the newer trucks yet.

Gotchya. Well thanks for the info!

So did it sound like they were working on a 5" spring, or a full kit? I dont know why I am curious...that is just a bit higher than I think I would ever want anyway. Seems like the Thuren or Carli 3" kits are plenty tall enough. But it does intrigue me!

That i don't know, i'd think it'll have to be a kit but you can buy the springs optionally. I just subscribed to their newsletter to keep an eye on any new developments.

Yeah, this is the kit I'm going to get. The Fox Shock is their tuned version which I was looking for. Not just a basic Fox Shock set-up just personal prefers. Plus the coils being at 2.25" lift is a great number to be within. Do you think I should still benefit from getting the trackbar still or their steer kit instead?

You will not be disappointed. You can benefit from both, my recommendation is to get both.
