I drive a 01 Ram 1500 sport with a 2 inch leveling kit in the front on 33x12.50x20 wheels and tires, it rides rough and its very bumpy, what would you guys recommend i should get for a smother ride? Thanks!

What shocks are you running?

A lot of my rough ride went away when I switched to Bilstiens.

Bilstiens do they make a shock for our trucks with a 6in lift?

I would recommend the KORE progressive leveling kit, gives you close to 3” lift and rides pretty nice, but that is with a cummins. I would guess that they offer one for a 1500 gasser...

Get rid of the 20 inch wheels and run some tires with more meat on them. Your tires are the first part of your suspension system to absorb the bumps. Big wheels and short sidewalls greatly diminish that cushion. I know they are the “in” thing right now, but they aren’t actually good for a truck’s performance in the environments we want a truck to perform in.
