Default Final Word on the TRX4

So did we ever figure out if it comes from the factory with a leveling kit or no?

Heavy duty coils in the rear and a tad longer strut up front.

The rough country leveling kit actually made my truck sit about .5-1" higher in the front, so to actually level it I had to put another 1.5" spacer in the rear.

Safe to say it sits about .5-1" higher barely n noticeable, well until you add a leveling kit.

Nope there is no spacer. I had my front end apart two times and I have not found any spacer. I have seen a normal 4x4 shock and spring set up (they are black) and a TRX set up (they are red) side by side and the TRX set up is a little longer.

Amazing work guys, we've only been talking about this for 4-5 months now.

Myth: TRX4 has spacers above the front struts....BUSTED!!!

Myth: TRX4 front end sits higher than other 09 Rams....Confirmed!!!
explanation: TRX4 spring/strut combination is longer.

Thanks guys.

I think it's a well known fact that pretty much everything on the TRX4 trucks/owners is longer.... ;-)
