99% street with some towing. Level stance n 35s

**TXRAM** · 03-25-2017

Still fairly new and reading lots of threads about performance and suspension (the two best things in the world). I was leaning towards a 3" lift by carli but I think it may be overkill for me. I have another truck that i do all my off-roading in so this Ram is my street queen along with some recreational towing. Its a 2017 Limited so its pretty fancy and I like my stock wheels. I feel i dont need much for suspension on this truck and would just like a more level stance and some 35/12.50s on my stock wheels and then some bumpers. The rest of my interest is purely performance. Im not about to put junk on a 75k rig so I am not looking for cheapest level option, but something fairly simple since I do not expect lots of off-road performance. I also hate tail draggers so if its front only, I would like to make sure its not too high. Would love some feedback here and I appreciate the advice very much.

Have ya looked at thuren? Thuren is extremely comparable to Carli.

They offer front spring leveling which will give you a much nicer ride and the stance your looking for.

What kind of performance are ya looking to Do? Feel free to shoot us a message and check out our website!

Oh and I forgot to mention I was looking at the Icon 2.5 lift stage one which looks to include 4 icon shock and front springs for around $1000. Havent found anything on the forum about this as most of it is carli and other brands I havent heard of (sorry I came from half ton world where Icon is huge)

Thanks. Like I mentioned, i am 99% street with this truck so a quality level is what im looking for to go with 35" tires on my stock wheels. It is important I keep my stock wheels so I am not going to install anything that makes me buy new wheels. Love my wheels. I'll look into the thuren level kits. I will have a front bumper replacement with grill guard, so a little added weight I suppose up front. But also a rear bumper replacement.

Yes sir completely understood. You shouldn't have to change your wheels at all with just springs. Even if you ended up doing a full suspension one day, thuren makes control arms that should allow you to still keep your stock wheels and 35's with no rubbing on the arms.

Thuren is designed for off-road and street performance just like carli. I think you would be very pleased with their products.

Also do a Google search, you'll find tons of info on Thuren and many many happy customers!

Please let me know if there is anything else I can help ya with!

I run Thuren front springs and fox 2.0 shocks that are tuned to match, with the thuren adjustable track bar. @Dude's Diesel Performance can hook you up. I will say it's a dead level set up, but parked at a certain way, it sometimes can give the illusion of a little bit of a tail dragger, but it's not. It's just dead level. There's things I could do to the rear to give it a half inch or so but I have air bags in place for towing also. So sometimes I run the air up to just 15 psi to to take away that occasional appearance when it's parked in just the right spot, that makes it look a little low in rear.

I'm running the Thuren level kit with King shocks and his King damper. It does sit dead nuts level and gives the illusion of drag. It's really odd. But I run bags too at 30psi. I have a service body and it's full of tools.

Thanks guys and that's exactly what I was talking about. Although some kits do level the truck oerfect it gives an odd illusion of a little tail drag. I dont have airbags so I cant really compensate there. Maybe a heavy bumper will help. I'll definitely look into the thuren kit. Thanks

You know? You nailed it there. I forgot you mentioned bumpers. That will definately play a roll in it.
