Suspension package

[Bingo]

I'm still putting together parts for my suspension swap. I'm awaiting rest from Eibach still.
So far i have (inc backordered)

Eibach pro truck kit
New front top mounts
Suspension maxx front links

1.Still not got UCAs. A pair of almost new rough country ones have come up for sale at a good price
Are they worth it? or do i just save for Zones?

2. for rear was thinking adjustable panhard or would the carli bracket suffice to fix angles?

3. rear core4x4 links

4. Still looking for either some old struts to get seats from or some new seats for the front springs.

Nothing too crazy as this is a daily and i'm only looking to improve the ride slightly and bring the ridiculous amount of rake up a little.

What notch should i be setting the front at? Still want a small amount of rake.
thanks

Do the Zones, They are tried and true if youre trying to save a few dollars look at the preferred vendor list on this forum they all give a form of discount. @Nick@GotExhaust would be the go to on UCA's

Go with Clayton Offroad over the core 4x4

The Carli rear track bar bracket is good for 2” or more lift. I wouldn’t use it under 2” and after 2” you may as well buy an actual rear lift kit to keep everything lined up properly. I have one sitting on my shelf I bought from another member that I’ll never use. Go with Clayton rear track bar and control arms unless you’re dead set on core. I would say wait for the zone UCA.

Why Clayton over core 4x4 ?

Isn’t Clayton just for Jeep’s? Or are you thinking the JT Gladiator stuff will work with the rams?

Already been tested. The gladiator uses the same rear 4 link arms and track bar as the rams. The springs are compatible as well.

Not sure for a 2500. Pretty sure those are different

Have the claytons on mine, the carli drop bracket, and the bracket that comes with the zone 6" kit... and an adjustable clayton rear panhard bar. Everything lines up perfectly and the ability to adjust everything just keeps everything even more in line.

I highly recommend clayton. Mine are painted to match my color scheme i've got goin. My 6" lift, with a 3" body lift on 37's with all king suspension has it riding better than stock and cornering just as good as stock if not better... Which for something towering as high as my truck is, is just unreal. My friends that have driven and rode in my truck are shocked when they ride in it and actually feel it.

well the rough country lift i have (shut up) has a free length of 20.9375 on the front springs and a spring rate of 575 in/lbs. so i need to find something comparable to that. i would love to get longer rear springs and remove the 2" spacer thats there.

sadly these wont work for me

their springs arent long enough and are actually softer than the stock PW ones. i need the payload of a 2500 and enjoy the features of the PW. i dont plan on needing the articulation as much so im not concerned with the little that will be lost with stiffer springs.

Nope. they won't have the rates you need on a 2500 truck.
for your PW this is more likely what you'll want , Icon 214206

Never mind, i saw you have 2" rear spacers ?
or you want longer springs front and rear ? Got confused cause you're asking for stock PW springs but then later you say you have an RC Lift ?...

the front springs are rough country aftermarket. on their kit the reuse the rear stock springs and add 2" spacers. i would PREFER to get either stock 2500 springs instead or stiffer aftermarket ones that would be long enough to negate the need for spacers on the rear.
