For some reason, my 2014 EcoDiesel Ram (Big Horn) is not sitting level.

I currently have a Rough Country 2.5 in leveling kit installed and it drives me nuts. Any recommendations for replacement/fix?

If you got the Rough Country struts that come with springs, those are "one size fits all" springs and the diesel engine is 250+ lbs heavier than the hemi .

If you still have your Diesel springs and stock struts you could get 5100's and put your springs and lower seats on those.. then resell the Rough Country struts to somebody with a Hemi or V6

Throw that junk in the trash and get 6112s. Problem solved ;)

I agree with all comments above. The RC stuff does not account for the extra weight of the diesel. We recommend either 5100's with stock coils, 6112 kit, or Eibach coils and struts.

We never recommend RC anything...

Thank you for the picture. Are you sure the rough country part was installed?

Just keep in mind, even with the stock eco diesel springs, Bilstien states in the documentation that came with my 5100s there will be only about 2 and 3/8" lift at max lift with the ecodiesel vs 2.8" of lift if it were a lighter front end
