Also any ram that can with 20in rims had 33 inch tires 275/60r20 and 2 inch you can fit 35 in tall tires

[@robbiemiller2334]

I had to use a strut compressor to get it back together.

the 2 lift i have with my 1500 i had to install a drop diff kit. the lift made the angles with the axel shaft on to much of angle causing a humming noise . Caused from the exel binding. drop diff kit fixed that .Now the axelis true level .

[@h0w-itzer283]

They fail to mention that you should get an alignment after this is done. Other than that, very good video.

[@AmericanTrucksRam]

Great call! We usually slide that on at the end of our installs, looks like we forgot it this time. Really any time you modify your suspension an alignment is a great idea to be safe. Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@Smodlee]

It’s not really necessary to get an alignment since u didn’t adjust the ball joint nuts

[@connorjackson9538]

dont expect to finish this within three hours, its my 3rd day working on it and i just keep finding more shit that needs replaced or stuff that has to be replaced , like a seized bolt in the bushing. I had to go out and get a whole new bolt and bushing because the bolt snapped out

[@KNR90]

If you have all the tools ready to go and a bit of space, you could do this in an hour, 3 hours if you are new to it. What you are doing is the style of work that my dad does. Replacing a bearing became tearing apart the entire front end and a carb kit for an ATV somehow.

[@fuzzydevil13]

You have to rotate struts obviously. Does the angle change affect anything? I'm working on a Dakota and having trouble getting the struts back in. Bottom doesn't line up.

[@shawnhurley5511]

Great video but it is misleading as far as the tires. I run 33’s on my stock suspension and rims and no issues.

[@donhoejr]

What about upper balljoints.?

[@efrencastanedajr1509]

What is the best shocks to add after the 3" lift for the same set up to prevent any other components to wear out faster?

[@Tinman964]

Keep in mind you will need new ball joints in 2000 miles , or just get the ready lift . New UCA,s included

I had a issue after installing this where my cv shafts kept locking up so I removed it have you ever heard of this issue

[@BK-gc1jm]

I want to raise my 2014 Ram 1500 Longhorn (Non-air-ride) 3 inches in the front and 1 inch in the rear. I am putting an all-weather tire on it, NOT a Terrian or mud tire. Similar to my Wrangler SRA's. highway tire. How can I keep my factory ride, I hear from many folks ride is much worse. Is it the spaces giving the bad ride cause new geometry? or the Tires they put on? or both. Any help would be appreciated.

[@louindorato6855]

Shouldn't that outer tie rod end be replaced. The ball joint move too easily ?

[@shadowbeast1986]

But what about the wear and tear they cause with things not being in line as they was?

[@timhunter6873]

Is the 2019 Classic Big Horn the same as the 2018 for this mod? I am not sure if it shares the 2018 or the new 2019 specs.

[@ouah8ter667]

Hey guys.. one question.. do you need a wheel alignment after this install? Thanks

[@AmericanTrucksRam]

We always recommend getting an alignment any time you modify your suspension. -Zach

[@benhansma7526]

Should you replace control arm when adding a leveling kit?

[@collinmccurdy445]

Do they make a new control arm that fits with this? That angle looks way to harsh in the old upper control arm joint, I wouldn't trust it.

[@biscotti0990]

What size are those Falken tires on that ram?

I can’t seem to find a leveling kit my 2018 ram 2WD crewcab! Help pls

Um i put a 305x70 17 cooper tires before i leveld my truck and had no rubbing whatsover, you definatley can fit a bigger than factory size tire under a ram 1500.

[@chancurtis7801]

What is the tallest lift you can put on an 2011 ram 1500 with factory suspension?

[@cjr4497]

You don't have to do anything to clear 33's on a ram. That is a stock OD with some trims. You only need to lift when going up to 35" OD tires.

[@bulldog5350]

33s are stock on rams with a 275/60/20.

[@mikem1018]

Is alignment required after install?

[@every-good]

Its always recommended to do an alignment after any lift

[@bgflyfish]

Stronger upper control arms are also recommended with spacer lifts due to the ball joints popping out.

[@cedericjeffries1426]

Awesome video I have a 2wd 2016 ram 1500...do you have any leveling kit for 2wd or just 4x4...if so can you send me a link

[@phillipsmith3353]

If i do this, should i be worried about the ball joints? I have heard this could cause them to pull out

[@collinmccurdy445]

Just looking at that upper ball joint on the control arm when he tightened everything back up made me cringe seeing how steep an angle it at now. I'm changing my mind on doing this. I dnt much care for the factory rake myself, but I'd rather have my truck working properly for longer than risk folding a tire or some shit over 2.5 inches in the front.

[@OnlyPetsChannel]

I have 20x33x12 and no plastic no noises or leveling kit

[@benjamincharley1320]

Hi, I have 2013 4x2 Ram 1500.. is that the same process? Also does it have to go to get alignment?

[@robbiemiller2334]

I watched 5 separate videos and they were all different. I just did mine last week and there's more steps than I expected, luckily I have the tools. Alignment is a must, this changes your tow settings which will cause your tires to wear quicker. For instance mine are now tow +

[@KNR90]

They make 4x2? Must be one of the short cab sport models.

Is this a 4x4 or 4x2, is there a difference when it comes to install it

[@Naldo2001]

at 10 sec it states 4WD.

[@retroelectro1190]

Would it still be level after adding a topper, or would you recommend going with a 2" kit?

[@robbiemiller2334]

I measured mine to figure out which spacer I needed. So I'd recommend putting the topper on, or something that weighs the same then measure

[@KNR90]

It would be very close, as thats hardly any weight. If you put 150+ lbs in the back it will have a slight backwards rake but not really noticeable.

[@master_vator]

I bought a classic ram, 1500, and ordered a 2.5 lift kit, not leveling it.

[@dylantyma]

let me know if yall need a ram to work on!

[@stgraves260]

Y’all do realize that this truck comes stock with 33” tires? LoL!!! I guess you guys are used to workin on a ford or Chevy. When you do have to put a 2.5 or even a 3.5 lift to run 33s. Chevy has to run a 4” lift to run 33s.

[@KNR90]

Not all trim levels come with 33" and it varies a bit by year. Some are 31". I think what they intended was the next size up.

[@stgraves260]

I’ve owned a 2004, 2010, 2012, 2015 all ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 Hemi’s. The tire size is 275/60R20. That is 32.99” tall by 10.83” wide. If you got the off road package you could get the 275/70R17 that converts to 32.2x10.8R17. The actual size of a 33x12.50 on a 15” wheel is 32.5 Tall by 12.5” wide. You can use that for comparison.

[@retroelectro1190]

Replace the upper control arm.

[@heraldlee8112]

Thanx for the info.

"if you're looking to put on a set of 33". Stock 20" wheel tires are 33s lol

[@MJ-4life]

If 2" spacer levels my Ram perfectly then why buy 2.5"?

[@FirehouseTats]

If you're sure 2" will do it, they you wouldn't go with 2.5 unless you also wanted to lift up the rear a little to match it. But you should be careful when deciding what size to buy. You should take some measurements and realize that the ground your truck is parked on can affect those measurements. Ideally, a perfectly level surface is what you should park on before you measure height. But most of us aren't fortunate enough to have access to a perfectly level parking space. So you have to make an educated guess at what is going to work best. Take meaurements at all four wheels from the ground to the bottom of the fender well, write em down. Then measure from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender well at all four wheels and write those down. Compare the differences and consider taking the average as the "proper" size spacer to level your truck. That's what I did, and it came out to be 2.5". Mine looks nice and level to me. Sorry, no photos to show. Hope this helps some of you out there.

[@robbiemiller2334]

Simply because there are multiple variables that change your rake. For instance when I put on a 34" tire it actually changed my rake a half inch. This is why you measure before. I actually run the 3" spacer. Looks really good

I installed these on my 2014 Ram and this is absolute garbage. The ride quality is unbearable and actually dangerous. Severe wandering and feels like the front end is going to fall apart going over the smallest bumps. I took them off and went with Bilstein adjustable shocks. The ride quality is now amazing. Save yourself the headache of installing this crap.
