Ram 1500 Shock & Coilovers Buyers Guide with

[@jongbacani9641]

Thanks for the review. Now I guess I gotta go with Fox 2.5 for my 2022 RAM Rebel

[@ShockSurplus]

Haha we love the Fox 2.5 DSC and run it on our own rigs. It's a solid choice if you want to be quite capable while off-roading.

[@silverpantsblue.1780]

Did he say the eco diesel came out in 2020 @3:43? I have the Bilstiens.. set at the level height on a 2018 ED 1500. The truck came from the factory with 20inch rims, and it rides like stagecoach. We actually removed our front bucket seats and installed a buckboard.

[@ShockSurplus]

That would be correct. The released the EcoDiesel 5th gen Ram 1500 DT in 2020.

[@jassemalzahrani4502]

​@Shock Surplus ok ok yeah he should of specified haha

[@valman008]

Did you have to change out steering knuckles and do Bilstein coil overs fit on 06 Ram 1500 SLT RWD?

[@bubbamendy91]

Does the fox 2.0 come preset for a 2inch lift from the factory for the Ram 1500? And what is the actual gain with a hemi?

[@ShockSurplus]

Yup they are preset to around 2" of lift on four door, Hemi trucks with 4WD.

[@M1000RR_Tony]

What roof rack is he using??? I’m in search for mine and I have a New Gen quad cab as well. Thanks!

[@ShockSurplus]

He longer has this truck but he was running a Front Runner Roof Rack. Contact him on Instgram and he can give you more info.

[@arboatrentals]

Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to explain so much. I have a 2019 ram 1500 classic ecodiesel 4th gen. Do you sell the fox 2.5 for that?

[@karlpickard2044]

Hey all. Thanks for the review! I'm looking to add a leveling shock to my 2017 ram 1500 ecodiesel. Previous owner added leveling blocks to the front and the ride is horrible. I do not do to much off-roading but do pull a travel trailer fairly often. I was wondering if the Fox 2.0 would have a spring heavy enough to accommodate the diesel? Also, was hoping to stay under $1000 and was wondering what your suggestion might be for the above mentioned use? Thanks for your time!

[@ShockSurplus]

Do you know how much lift the previous owner did with the leveling kit? Was a 2", 2.5, or 3"? Please contact our sales team directly assistance. www.shocksurplus.com/pages/contact-us-general-inquiry

[@adamstokes6316]

Eibach is a softer ride, but bilstein is cheaper and still pretty good. Fox is the best but pretty expensive.

[@Thisthat1234]

Need some help. I have a 2019 Ram 1500 V6 RWD. Looking to upgrade from the 3.5 Rough Country Lift. I want prioritize daily street driving but have the quality when i go Overlanding in Florida.

[@carloscamacho8802]

Im currently running the bilstein 6112 setup on my 2020 Ram 1500. I have it set on the max level height. I feel as they are way too bumpy on the road with any little holes or bumps on the road. Will the eibach setup be any better for on road performance?

[@ShockSurplus]

Yup the Eibachs are definitely softer than the Bilsteins are for sure.

[@bluephoenix383]

The fox 2.0 sound good just got a 22 Ram 1500 4x4 with the Hemi it sit so low in the front it will be mainly used on the street very little off-road I definitely want something better than the spacer lifts that ride terribly

[@ShockSurplus]

It will depends on what you're using your truck for. Contact our sales team directly and we'll help guide you in the right direction.

[@christopherjoyce833]

Same here 2016 ram. I was completely hammered and could remember if I called or not. Most of my driving is on the road, but being drunk alot off road suspension really helps.

[@christopherjoyce833]

I work in Boston so handling makes a difference we need to keep avoiding all the Aholes with Prius cutting us off also😅

[@Q..M]

Whats the best set up for a 2WD 4th gen 1500?? I’ve been trying to do some research on what’s best for it. I dont want to go crazy and do an off-roading kit. I just want a simple 1”-2” lift with a nice comfortable suspension kit. But because I have a 2WD, so my options are kinda dwindled. Still looking for a good set or a opinion. Please give me your inputs.

[@MarekGrubala]

Is there such staff for Chrysle Pacifica 2021?

[@ShockSurplus]

very few options there unfortunately, nothing from this brand lineup

[@alext5121]

Do you guys offer the Fox 2.5 elite 3” lift kit for 22 RAM EcoDiesel? No matter where I search, it states that it “does not fit RAM EcoDiesel.” Thanks

[@ShockSurplus]

Although Fox does not technically have an EcoDiesel spec part on the DT generation Rams like yours, they did on the previous DS generation with the only difference being a 50 lb/in bump in rate between the two. So although we do not officially have an EcoDiesel part from Fox, we offer the option to pop up in spring rate on the diesels through the following listing www.shocksurplus.com/products/fox-2-5-coilovers-shocks-lift-system-2019-ram-1500-4wd

[@alext5121]

After so much research and headache, I finally have an answer! Thank you

[@APEXAerial-51]

Is there an icon or bilstein package similar to this available for the ram rebel eco diesel?

[@APEXAerial-51]

@@ShockSurplusis this link still available with parts information for the diesel?

[@calebdavidson8673]

I don’t off-road much with my 2021 Rebel, but I put a set of 33’s that are a little bigger than the stock duratracs and a little more offset on my new setup. Now I want to level the truck out so am trying to decide which route to take. Was considering just throwing on some 5100’s all around and using stock coils to get it leveled. Would the Eibachs be more comfy than the 5100’s for mostly road driving? We also have super rough roads around here.

[@rickrobs9398]

Is it not ok to add a spacer to a coilover if axle angle and uca are ok?

[@ShockSurplus]

Technically you can as long as bind at either point does not occur however it is highly unlikely you will be able to run an aftermarket ride height adjustable coilover or strut with a spacer without bind since they are all generally longer than stock

[@Artjan1]

For a 2023 ram rebel, do you think bilstein 5100s are a good option to level and keep close to factory ride?

[@ShockSurplus]

Yup the 5100s would be a great choice!

[@40hrplusservicetech]

How will new coil overs effect the height outcome with factory raised ride height on a 2016 outdoorsman with the Ecodiesel ? I’m currently clearing 295/65r20 = 35x11.60 on factory 20x8.

[@ShockSurplus]

Coilovers are generally adjustable from stock height or close to it to as high as 3" of lift. If you have an existing spacer lift that will have to removed and you will recieve however much lift the front coilovers are preset for. If you are at 2" of lift with a spacer or something else now and you replace it with a coilover that does 2" of lift, your tire fitment should be the same.

[@MSchumacherfan]

Opinions on the Ironman 4x4 pro cell foam?

[@ShockSurplus]

They definitely are not bad, and we love their springs but there are a lot of options for struts, coilovers, or shocks that are similarly priced and give you a lot more for your money. We had a set on our Xterra for a little over a year and although never bad, and showed a few promising moments, they definitely left a lot to be desired and began to show some signs of giving up the ghost long before we took them off. With that said they do a great job of putting together complete packages with parts that mesh well together, and I would recommend their coil and leaf springs to anybody.

[@APEXAerial-51]

What are you running in the rear end? And did you replace the UCA’s in the front?

[@ShockSurplus]

Rear is running Icon springs i believe, and the front UCA is total chaos uniball

[@APEXAerial-51]

I have a truck like Kingston’s in this video. I don’t run the added 700 lbs constant weight. Is there an Icon package you offer for the diesel? Both front and rear application? I’ve looked at the sight but no specific rebel diesel options.

The diesel did not come out in 2019 it came out in 2014 its not a new motor its been around since the 70s but new for the ram 1500 redesigned by fiat motors

[@TheIamdevin]

He's specifying that the 2019 5th gen body didnt have the ecodiesel engine it was a hemi and v6 gasser only year,2020 is when the ecodiesel returned to the rams. Due to this happening when most shock makers made their applications for 19+ ram 1500's they only made them for hemi trucks simply because they couldnt test them on an ecodiesel

[@idontcaresapo8233]

I own the falcon on my 2020 rebel . I like them on the expressway because they stiff but they are harsh on small bumpier roads. What other options would you recommend for me to go with. I don’t want a super floaty feel but a bit more softer than my falcons. Also I like the level look
