2014–2018 Ram 2500 4WD

K3067DL

Overview:

The Fabtech 5-inch Basic Suspension System is engineered to provide a reliable lift for your 2014–2018 Ram 2500 while maintaining the vehicle’s factory load carrying capacity and ride quality. Designed with minimal parts, this system retains the stock coil springs using precision-engineered angular steel spacers that preserve the factory front spring bow. This unique feature ensures the suspension geometry aligns with Chrysler’s original specifications, delivering a smooth and controlled ride. Ideal for Ram 2500 owners seeking a moderate lift without compromising durability or performance, this kit supports larger tires up to 37 inches with minor trimming.

Included in the system are Fabtech’s exclusive steel front bump stop extensions, which prevent damage to springs and shocks by eliminating the risk of blowouts common with urethane bump stops found in other aftermarket kits. Heavy-duty steel brackets relocate the factory radius arms to maintain proper caster angles, while robust front and rear track bar drop brackets keep the axles centered under the vehicle at the new ride height.

Key Features:

This 5-inch Basic System combines durability and functionality with the following key features:

• Retains factory coil springs with angular steel spacers to preserve front spring bow and alignment
• Steel coil spacers in the rear maintain original weight carrying capacity
• Exclusive Fabtech steel front bump stop extensions prevent spring and shock damage
• Heavy-duty 1/4" thick steel radius arm relocation brackets for proper caster correction
• Super stout front and rear track bar drop brackets to center axles under the vehicle
• Includes front and rear 2.25" Dirt Logic stainless steel shocks for enhanced damping
