2016 Ram 2500 - Southern Truck 2.5 inch Level w/ Rancho Leveling Shocks.
You will NEED to realign your front end after installation, also the included shock extensions with the Southern Truck kit are not needed with these leveling shocks (Only with OEM, or non leveling shocks).
Like and subscribe! Thanks, enjoy!

Great video amigo! Nice boxer too, miss mine tremendously! I wish my '12 Ram 2500 was that easy to change out shocks! Just a suggestion, esp in the northern states or southern states due to rust, use some anti seize on your bolts. I have used several Rancho products on my Ram, esp the level coil/shock kit and it is horrible. When you replace your shocks, I highly suggest getting Fox 2.0 shocks. If you go with a coil at anytime, use a Thuren or Carli. I have wasted time, money and frustration using cheaper brands due to impatience. This Rancho coil is going out and the Fox's made a HUGE improvement over the Ranchos. Lesson learned!

Did you measure the ride height difference from the back to the front before and after the install? My rear sits 4.75" higher than the front when measured at the center of the wheel wells.

Ditch the spacers and get a set of Thuren coils, or Carli coils. Also utilizing the jack on the pumpkin and axle is the correct way to lift the front. Dropping the passenger side track bar bolt gives you more droop.

Only downside to the thuren is they’re a softer spring rate, if your mounting a plow that will ruin your capacity. Spacer retains your oem capacity and gives your clearance for your plow mount

Ehren Leleski this is true. It’ll pull the axle back and towards then passenger side, but it’s only noticeable if you stare at it long enough! The higher you lift or level the front end, the more drastic the pull. For a small 2” level, I don’t think it’s necessary, but if you’re going beyond then yes I would install a longer or adjustable track bar. Carli and Thuren make nice adjustable bars 👍🏼

guil Mondragon yes! The main thing is they won’t “bottom-out” while hitting bumps, etc because they are longer than the OEM. You can use the extensions that come with the kit, but it doesn’t change the overall length of the shock. Whatever you choose, I’d at least pick longer “leveling-shocks”.
