The status may say IN-STOCK, but still plan on 1-2 weeks for your order to ship after you pay, as there is a lot of preparation for these kits.

Fitment:

  • 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500
  • 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 3500
  • 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 1500(with some small adjustments)

Details:

  • This kit will not work with OEM or other brand leaf springs.
  • Design mandates the OEM block(bad) is removed.
  • Flips U-Bolts so the threads are on the top-side.
  • This kit is designed for performance. The Leaf Springs are soft.
  • Axle more centered in the wheel well, allowing more tire clearance.
  • 13.5" of efficient wheel travel with bolt-in 12" stroke (Short-Body) shocks.
  • 18" of possible wheel travel, with fabricated Bed-Cage shock mounts.
  • Shocks not supplied. Will require shocks NO LONGER than 18.5" compressed.
  • Shocks required are standard Dodge Ram mounting, which is 1.65" wide ends using a 14mm(or 9/16") bolts.

    The rear suspension geometry is one of the biggest drawbacks of the 2nd Gen platform, making our Thuren Fabrication Long Travel Leaf Conversion a game changer! The designed issues have been upgraded, and geometry corrected with the Thuren Long Travel kit. Massive improvements in ride quality and handling both on road and off are now a reality.

OEM Issues:

  • OEM High-Mounted-Leafs mandate Dodge used a 4" leaf-block, factory.
  • Very short leaf spring length = very stiff leaf springs, with little travel.
  • inverted U-Bolts to drag Off-Road.

Important notes below you must understand before purchasing this kit!!

  • This is a very involved install.
  • We strongly recommend you remove the bed, to gain proper bracket removal access.
  • We have not assessed enough trucks to know how the brake line will handle the extra travel available or if the brake line on all years will clear the new Bump-Stop location on the axle. Brake lines are not included but may need to be addressed on your own
  • Some year trucks have a brake proportioning valve linked to the rear axle. We send a bracket so you can disconnect it and lock it in place, but some trucks may be different than what we designed around, so be aware of that.
  • This kit involves Face-drilling and hammering out a dozen-plus frame rivets. An Air-Hammer will save you tons of time.
  • There is no welding involved, but there is a bit of easy cutting. A SawZall is all you need for the small bit there is.
  • There is some light drilling needed to mount the new shock mounts on the axle.
