Lifting a 2017 Ram 1500 2wd

[Flashburn66]

Hello Everyone,

I just recently picked up a 2" leveling coil spring kit from Rough Country and will be installing it shortly. I just got the truck and dont have a manual for it yet. Does anyone know what the torque specs need to be on the suspension parts for when i am putting it back together?

go to mopar.com, create an account, and you can view / download the owners manual for your specific truck there.

Awesome! Thank you, i will check it out.

So how did leveling turn out? I’m looking to get the same leveling get for my truck? Do you have a any pics of before Ns after?

 

[Hudson]

Yup same here. Looking to level the front. Let us know how it turned out

i just went from 2/5 drop to a 4.5" spindle + 1.5" spacer in rear. the alignment was hilariously bad. i ended up putting the truck on 35/12.50/20s and so far i love it. going to take the rear coils apart tomorrow to see why i can't get air into my airbags, but otherwise im very happy with it.

Did the Maxtrac 4.5/3", love the way it drives and rides.
Second pics was level on 285s

Truck looks great! I'm running a 2.5" Maxtrac level right now. Future planning includes the same 4.5/3" set up you are now running. What is your offset? Do you have any side shots to show how much tire is sticking out?

 

[Graygoose]

They were -24, no rub, nothing.

Thanks for the kind words, kinda miss that truck

gah, 37s looks so sick. how capable has your truck been? coming from a JKU to a lifted 2wd ram, i feel a little silly sometimes.

what tires are those btw?

Ironman All Country. It is very capable honestly. I have a 2015 jku too. No rubbing. Tows amazing and just looks mean.

ha! nice! i just got the same tire in a 35". very happy to hear they wear well. So far i have no complaints, i ran a similiarly aggressive M/T on my old wrangler and these are way quieter.


How much air do you run in them? I'm keeping 38-39psi in them right now, so far i haven't *really* noticed that they're 10 ply

I run 45 in them. Still rides great. I like them so much more than my Mickey Thompson MT/Z's I had in a 35 previously

Looks great! Looking to keep my stock wheels like yours with probably 35s. Are you running spacers? I know these are 37s which might be an option for me too, what are the specs? Mine is a daily pavement driver with a side of towing to the boat ramp.
