AEV 4" DualSport SC Suspension for 2013-2018 Ram 1500 4WD

When AEV set out to design their 4" DualSport Suspension System for 2013-2018 Ram 1500 trucks, they knew how important it was to maintain the premium ride quality associated with independent front suspensions. That's why every suspension component included with this system is designed with the intent to preserve OE geometry and compensate for the additional ride height. The backbone of the Ram 1500 DualSport Suspension System is AEV's 4mm thick stamped steel skid plate. This skid plate not only offers a significant level of protection, it also serves as the new mounting location for the front differential. Removing the front differential mounting location from the OE engine mounts to the chassis avoids inner CV plunge-limited travel restriction that is otherwise needed due to the torque-roll of the engine-mounted front differential. Another critical component of this suspension system is AEV's exclusive, military grade A206 T4 Aluminum Steering Knuckles that move the front hubs forward +8mm for additional tire clearance and offer a considerable reduction in unsprung weight. OE front and rear coil springs are retained to preserve the OE ride quality and payload capacity. This also ensures that the intended ride height will be achieved on all cab, wheelbase and trim level combinations. The AEV-specific Bilstein 5100 series front height adjustable struts and rear shock absorbers that are included in this suspension system were developed jointly by Bilstein and AEV engineers exclusively for use with AEV's Ram 1500 DualSport Suspension System. By utilizing digressive valving, these AEV/Bilstein 5100 shocks and struts offer substantial low-speed dampening, for a great ride quality over any terrain.
