Construction & Design:

Fabtech’s suspension system is built with premium materials and precision engineering to withstand demanding off-road environments. The heavy-duty steel lower control arm crossmembers are 1/4-inch thick, providing exceptional strength and durability while maximizing ground clearance. The extended steering knuckles are designed to work seamlessly with the factory electronic stability control system, ensuring safety and performance are uncompromised.

The Dirt Logic 2.5 coilover shocks feature stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and long service life. These shocks deliver consistent damping performance across a variety of terrains, enhancing both comfort and control. The rear suspension components, including coil springs and link arms, are engineered to maintain proper pinion angles, preventing driveline vibrations and preserving handling characteristics.

Installation & Fitment:

This suspension system is a direct fit for a wide range of Ram 1500 models from 2012 to 2018, including Big Horn, Express, Laramie, Laramie Limited, Laramie Longhorn, Limited, Lone Star, Outdoorsman, Rebel, SLT, Special Service, Sport, and Tradesman trims. It is not compatible with Mega Cab models or vehicles equipped with factory air suspension.

Installation requires minor trimming for certain tire and wheel combinations, specifically when using 35-inch tires with 18- or 20-inch aftermarket wheels. OEM wheels and tires cannot be used with this system. Rear springs may reduce load-carrying capacity, so this should be considered for heavy-duty applications. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment and functionality.
