2020 RAM 1500 Air Ride
RAM Trucks have been a little different than their competition for the last couple of generations with their 4-link coil sprung rear ends. Their 5th Gen 1/2 tons feature air suspension in not just the rear like its 3/4 ton big brother, but also in the front. We had to make sure we chose the right RAM Air Ride Lift Kit for our customer’s budget. We settled on Rough Country 5″ Air Ride Lift Kit. The kit features spacers for both the front and rear air bags and new shocks in the rear, along with the usual crossmembers and drop brackets that these kits come with.
Now that we’re sitting a little higher it’s time for some bigger tires. The customer wanted the ever popular Nitto Ridge Grappler and we think that’s a great choice. He had just had his factory 22″ wheels powder coated a dark gray color and wasn’t ready to make the jump to a new set of wheels just yet so we mounted the 35×12.50 Ridgeys on them. However, that tire and wheel combination will rub on the knuckle so we installed 2″ wheel spacers that the customer had provided. Whenever possible, it’s always best to pair your new tires with an aftermarket wheel that has the correct offset for your lift, wheel and tire combination. If that’s not in the budget then a wheel spacer is the only method to achieve the stance and fitment that your truck requires.
