    Leveled on 37"

    Wanted to post what i had to do to make this work. At the time i was doing my research there wasn't a lot of information out there.

    So hopefully this will help those looking for a similar look.

    2016 Ram 2500
    37x12.5x17 Toyo RT
    Method Mesh Mr306 17x8.5 +0mm offset

    2.5" Carli Leveling Springs
    Carli Radius Arm Drop Brackets
    1" Carli Rear Coils
    1" Rough Country Rear Coil Spacer

    I went with this suspension setup for a couple reasons but mostly to keep the nose down even when lightly loaded. The rear Carli coils were by far the best ride improvement I've done to date. Much softer ride but be ready for the additional squat if you load it up with anything. Picture posted at the bottom is loaded with the suspension components listed above (before the airlift airbags were added).

    Here are a couple pictures of the suspension install and then I'll get into the wheels and trimming.

    Rear Coil Comparison:


    Front Coils and Radius arm drops going in:




    Suspension Added Before Wheels and Tires:


    After:








    Now for the trimming. You can do this with the right offset and only cutting out some of the plastic fender liner but i didn't want that much fender liner missing and exposing the metal behind. So I pulled the front liners and ground back the pinch welds first. Then did a little trimming and bending with a heat gun to make the clearance but leaving most of the liner in place.

    Metal Trimming:









    Fender Liner Trimming:









    With this setup I don't rub on anything. Tire clears fine on the front and back of the wheel well and does not hit the radius arm at all. I plan to put a set of 4.10s in it in about 2 weeks to get the RPMs back right. It doesn't see 6th gear very often except when i hit the interstate with these stock 3.42s.


    And here's a picture just before the wheels and tires loaded with about 1800-2000lbs of mulch for the wife. I was hitting the bump stop on light bumps during the short ride home. Way to much squat for me.





    Airlift 5000s installed with a 2" spacer:

    Wasn't much to it and working fine so far. Only concern i have is when i replace the shocks. Right now i've pretty much got 2" of lift in the rear but still running the stock shocks which is limiting the down travel of the axle. I tested the droop with the wheels off after bolting everything together to make sure it wasn't going to over extend the airbags. It all looked good but it may be an issue when i put the proper length fox shocks on there. I'll probably get some of the DayStar cradles at that point.

    There are the king 2.5. The previous owner ran the locking plastic pucks but I dont really care for those. That's why I ordered the air lift metal spacers.

    Now that u mentioned those daystar cradles, I didnt know they had those. I would of definitely bought those instead of the spacer.
