Is This for You?

This kit is for the 2014–2018 Ram 2500 4WD gas owner who wants 4 inches of front lift with premium FOX 2.5 PE damping. This is the DS-generation Ram 2500 gas platform. If you have a 2019 or newer Ram 2500, stop here — that is the DT platform, order SKU 1699FPE. If your Ram 2500 is diesel, stop here — order SKU 1762FPE instead. Gas-tuned and diesel-tuned coil springs are not interchangeable.

The Result

4 inches of front lift with corrected caster, reduced bushing bind, and FOX 2.5 Performance Elite damping on the DS-generation Ram 2500 gas platform. The truck clears larger tires, sits level, and maintains consistent geometry under towing and hauling loads. The FOX 2.5 PE external reservoir shocks deliver heat-managed, consistent damping across sustained use.
