First, beautiful truck! Secondly, as a retired tech I appreciate your insight. Seems like majority of videos are people throwing the parts in. Bowed springs are not good. The castor adjustment correction is an excellent tip. Having to replace the track bar has been highly questionable for me. If the stock bar is that close to the limit the truck would be a handful as oe. Thanks for proving with math.
Nice setup! Do you have a 7ft garage door? I want to do that setup with the exact tires and 2.5” leveling kit on stock 20” wheels but I’m afraid it won’t fit in my garage.
If I recall, i think i put a couple extra 3/8 bolts to secure the adapter better. Probably two extra holes in the upper spring perch per side. Just my belt and suspenders mentality. Its been trouble free since day 1.
If you have factory air suspension, you'll get constant ses lights to service it. If you can handle that, then kudos to you. For springs, Carli makes one of the best products for upgrades. Everything is designed individually for the make and model, so you get a great ride while keeping the payload capacity stock. I prefer the air suspension because it keeps the truck level at all times, especially when hauling my 35-foot RV.
@dzaino1986 i started having some issues on mine 2016 ram 2500. Air suspension . I just don't know what can cause 😕 fuse and Raley good. Air compressor is working when I connect 12v. No air leaks. Airbags is full air but air tank is empty air and cannot lowered my air suspension and I have warning says IMMEDIATE AIR SUSPENSION SERVICE/REPAIR REQUIRED and When I push button and I got SELECTED RIDE Height NOT PERMITTED!. so what's can be? My alfa OBDLink gives me 3 codes C156E, C1556 and C2212
@@ag8499 First let me say that I'm a 35 year certified mechanic and the information I'm providing here is from my online service manual references. Hopefully this helps...Code C156E is related to air suspension sensors not properly calibrated to the air suspension control module. If you've replaced any sensors, you'll need to have the dealer re-program them. There are 3 different C1556 codes, so I"m not sure which one you might be seeing..They all refer to the air pressure sensor. It might be a good place to start since your air tank will not fill up. C2212 code is "in-plant mode" This refers to the air suspension control module going into a service mode when a technician works on the air suspension. The "in plant mode" prevents the air suspension from adjusting any ride height while the technician is working on the system.. say to change a height sensor or airbag. Most of the fault codes will point to the air suspension module being the culprit. My suggestion would be to have a dealer spend an hour to diagnose the issue. If the fault is anything other than the module, you could replace the components yourself. One last thing to try before taking it to the dealer, remove both negative battery cables (I'm assuming your truck is a Cummins) for at least 30 minutes. re-connect them and see if the codes clear. If they aren't a "hard" code, it's possible they will clear and the issue may be resolved. Hope this helps!!
Negative Jim. All is good. I recently added longer links for my factory air suspension to raise the rear end up another 1.5” and it looks even better. The only thing I would suggest on a leveling kit it to make sure the caster is checked afterwards. You need to roll the front differential rearward to keep the spring sitting flat on the lower mount. This affects caster, although I did not adjust mine. Still tracks straight and no adverse affect on steering self-correction.

Awesome info man. Thanks
Hey Dave what kit did you use and is everything still working with out issues. Thx Jim

What brand kit did you buy? My 22 Ram 3500 SRW just came in . I want to put it on my truck
Hey, good afternoon! my question is some people say we got to drill on one side! Can you answer this please?
If I recall, i think i put a couple extra 3/8 bolts to secure the adapter better. Probably two extra holes in the upper spring perch per side. Just my belt and suspenders mentality. Its been trouble free since day 1.
What Brand and part number? I’m trying to do the same to my new 3500 SRW Mega Cab w air suspension
Hey which rear coils should I use for 6" lift? I'm removing mine air suspension ? And my question is coils better drives the air suspension?

Are you having any vibration issues coming from Rear end that you feel in the seat.
