New Guy, Recommendations needed.
Hello, I recently bought a 2018 Ram 2500 Mega cab diesel 4x4 and want to give it a little height. She will be mostly a pavement princess and some light off road on mostly clay dirt roads and shale roads on occasion. I am really leaning towards the Carli Leveling kit with the fox 2.0, adjustable track bar and sway bar. Are the Radius arms really that good and needed? is it just at easy to add later to should it be done at the same time? I am also thinking of adding the BDS dual fox 2.o steering stabilizer. Is that over kill? Also what about a steering brace? do I need that? will it fit with everything else?
Thank you

Ok so! I have a Thuren 3 inch overland extreme. With that being said i have the Carli radius arms. Awesome. If you run a large tire they will rub on your radius arms if you get the offset wrong. I did but i was very thankful i did. The radius arms are the bomb! With that said. If you get a good steering stabilizer which thuren fab has there is no need for a dual. I am running 37×12.5 R20's and if have had no issues with my steering. Look into the thuren front steering sway bar. Holy crap the thing goes around corners and keeps your truck from rolling. Plus you can call them for recommendations for your application and what you want to do with your truck. I am very happy with the performance and the suspension glides over rough roads with ease. Also a good thing about their suspension is if you want to upgrade anything you can do it without having to buy a whole new suspension. Everything is compatible. That's just my take on it. Take care.

Forgot to add. With the Carli radius arms and the way they are designed you will not rub at full lock in both directions. And the suspension makes my truck ride like a Cadillac.. Very nice..

I'm also on Thuren suspension. Couldn't be happier! I am running 35×12.50 tires with stock radius arms. If you stay under 3" of lift the only thing you really gain from the radius arms is tire clearance and looks. As the @TheSleeperGoat reccomended give Thuren or Clayton @ Dudes Diesel a call and they will be able to steer you in the right direction and help you get exactly what you need with out trying to "up sell" you stuff you dont need. Both great to work with.
