Hey there folks,
I am new here!
I recently bought a 2000 ram van 2500 (roadtrek 170 camper van)
I have been trying to find information on getting a few extra inches of ground clearance.
Does anyone have any insight or this?
I tried doing a quick search through the forums but I am not very handy at navigating it.

Cheers
Brant

 

Coil springs up front? If so, maybe some spacers to get an inch or two. (I wouldn't go any more than that.) For the rear, are the springs on top of the axle, or under it? Shackle end of the spring above, or below the frame mount?

 

hey!
thanks for the reply
I think I’m okay for the rear going to add a small block and or air bags
just because I plan on towing my 16 foot fishing boat around with me <2200 lbs.

coil springs in the front yes.
Does anybody manufacture coil spacers for that body style van?
longer coils?
will be replacing all 4 shocks as well !

thanks
Brant

 

No clue if anyone makes spacers specifically for the van. Might look at spring specs, and see if the 2wd trucks used the same setup.

I would be much more friendly with air bags in back, rather than blocks..... more expensive, yes, but, also adjustable for whatever load you happen to be carrying. Of course, a weight distributing hitch might accomplish that for ya as well.
