Where the standard suspension Ram 3500 uses coil springs or leaf springs in the rear, the factory air ride truck needs the heavy-duty air bag spacer in this kit to maintain OE air suspension function at lifted ride height. Front is the standard radius arm approach: tubular arms, diesel-specific Pro-Ride coil springs, T-case indexing, and FOX 2.0 shocks. The T-case bolt count check is the key pre-order decision: 6-bolt is standard and ships with this SKU; Aisin 8-bolt requires the optional indexing ring plus BDS122409 if it's a Dually or Mega Cab.
