Rear suspension and lift

[Yeti801]

Okay, I have a 13 ram 1500 I know the truck did come with a small lift, pucks all the way around from factory. They also put 2500 coils and airbags in the rear to make it a heavy half. So the question is, I like the rear set up because it pulls really nice, but I would like to add a better suspension lift. What I don't want to do is affect the rear suspension and how they have it set up. Can I just add new shocks to the rear to go along with a new set up in the front? Or is it better to stick with the same lift and ne parts all the way around?

You can buy a lift that supplies rear spacers instead of new springs. And doubtful they are ram 2500 coils. More than likely they are just heavy load coils like tuftruck coils. What size lift are you looking for

I found the build sheet and says 2500 coils with rear spacers. I'm not looking for massive something like the icon, Carli, ect. 3 to 4 inch. Which will benefit front by an inch or so.

It's already lifted, well from is leveled and rear is still a little higher. Either way it got the lift from factory.

Interesting. Are you the original owner? That’s the first I’ve ever heard of a truck with 2500 coils and airbags. Are they inside the coil airbags or frame mounted airbags where the bump stops usually go. I would be looking at a zone 4” kit if that’s really all you want. They come with 2” rear spacers which would leave your rear springs. And the factory lift is a bilstein leveling struts lift usually or a superlifts lift kit rebranded. @Quick_Shifter ever heard of that?

I am not the original owner. That's just what my build sheet says. And yes they are in the springs. I think bit not 100 percent sure but I think they're the airlift 1000s.

Those are 1500 springs with the helper airbags and bottom coil spacers. Are you looking it add more height? Or do you want to stay where you are

@Yeti801 you have tail lights from a 2500 5th gen maybe that is where the confusion was
