Hey man. Thanks for the review. I have been searching for this exact video, now I pulled the trigger for the same kit on my truck. Btw, I am just an average dad too. Keep the content coming for us old dudes
Get alpha OBD. It’s 40 for the program and you can lower TPMS to 30 so they never alarm. Then you can run 40-45 psi in rear when you arnt hauling. My rear is up 2” with air links and is still not bad with nice lower air pressure. It helps a Ton. Plus alpha OBD also lets you change tire size and all kinds of other stuff.
This is one of the videos I needed to see I got 2015 ram 2500 6.4L hemi with air ride and this set up is pretty much what I need but i think ill upgrade my shocks to 2.5 resivoirs. Nice lookin truck 🤙
Great review...recently ordered the same springs for my 2011...along with CJC tuned shocks; thuren trac bar, synergy drag link set up and the torsion sway bar. Just waiting for all the pieces to show up so I can get them on.
Bay Area here with a 2020 Ford Tremor with the Powerstroke. Carli Kit after the new year. Your RAM is so perfect and the 35's look great. I'm about to watch your 5k update vid with 37's. Looking forward to your thoughts shared during this next one.
At the time I bought the kit Thuren was the only one that had a solution to bring up the rear end on a factory air ride truck (leveling sensor extension) also I think it was a little less expensive than Carli at the time. I believe they are the same quality. My buddy has same basic coils/shocks kit on his but Carli and it feels the same
@@avgdadgarage1982. I tow about once or twice a month I know you said that you also tow in your video I was just curious on how the front springs and shocks from thuren hold up
@@Jjsaba2008 they been great this far. I pull a 32ft toy hauler that’s about 12-13k when loaded and I have probably towed at least 4-5k mi over the past 2.5 yrs since this kit has been installed. Overall the springs/shocks have around 50k mi on them now and I notice zero difference from when I installed them. Seem to be holding up great. I would recommend doing the track bar like I did. I did not order it at first and after about 2kmi on just the springs and shocks I installed it. Tightens up the front end well👍
@@avgdadgarage1982 Thank you for the response. I've purchased the Carli 2.5 leveling system that comes with a 1" spacer for the rear factory air ride. I was wanting to only install the shocks and springs and not install the rear spacer but wasn't sure if it would cause any issues with the airbags trying to level the truck.
@@Travis-k4f thinking back I actually did install a part from Thuren. It was an extended arm on the rear leaving sensor assembly… so the truck did raise about 3/4” in the rear. The longer arm tricked the sensor as to its position…It’s been a few years and I dont have that truck anymore so I forgot. The rear block is probably a better solution. At the time I do t think Carli made that kit with the block. Is why I went with Thuren
I know this is an old vid but you have way too much air in those Toyos. That's why your ride is so harsh and suffering. You should have no more than 50 PSI tops in the rear and 55 in front. That will make ride much better. Your also not getting good wear on those 35s. My guess is your definitely wearing the tire of the centers more and not running even. Do a chalk test. Invest in a Procal to adjust your TPMS and speedo too. I have your truck but with the Hemi. Didn't want a Cummins.
Thanks for the straight up info, I’ve got a 2021 with air ride and needed to know the information that you provided.
Thank you for making this video! This was the exact review that I was looking for.
Great video. A lot of the lift kits I've seen specify they don't work with their air ride system. Welcome to RUclips.

👍 thanks you will like the upgrade

You could put a 1 inch spacer in for your air bags that will make it so it won't ride so rough
Awesome video after watching this definitely pulling the trigger on 37" contemplating on 17" or 18" on the wheels.
Great review...recently ordered the same springs for my 2011...along with CJC tuned shocks; thuren trac bar, synergy drag link set up and the torsion sway bar. Just waiting for all the pieces to show up so I can get them on.
Nice. You will like the improved ride 👍
@@avgdadgarage1982 have you figured out which sway bar you’re gonna go with now that your 37’s rub??
@@kdbl007 just going to leave it for now... it only rubs sometimes when parking if I cut it hard all the way...

Those Tremors are sweet.
Great looking Truck
Solid video
Clean truck ✌️
Thank you
How long, in inches, are those aftermarket links end to end please?
I’m not sure. I sold the truck about 6 months ago. You can buy just the links from Thuren
on those 35's did you have to do any trimming? what size wheels? and offset.
Zero trimming when I had 35s and they didn’t rub one bit. Their method wheels 18 x 9. +18 offset 5.75” backspacing
Minor trimming now with 37’s
Located in Windsor? Looks like the public safety training center parking lot.
Nope... northern CA
James Miller I’m up above Sacramento in the foothills
Why did you go with thuren rather than Carli ? I’m in the market for one of the other

@@avgdadgarage1982 perfect thank you for your time man I think I’m going to order the thuren Springs and shocks and track combo.
Are you running a spacer in the rear or just the shocks?
No spacer. that truck was factory air ride.

What what does your truck sit at in the rear from floor to fender?
Not sure
I know this is an old vid but you have way too much air in those Toyos. That's why your ride is so harsh and suffering. You should have no more than 50 PSI tops in the rear and 55 in front.
