AEV Conversions DualSport XP Suspension Kits for RAM

AEV Conversions 3 in. DualSport XP suspension systems are available for various RAM trucks and are focused on optimizing suspension/steering geometry and application-specific shock tuning to deliver the best possible on-road comfort and handling—while also providing an ever broader spectrum of off-road performance, thanks to the AEV/Bilstein XP8100 reservoir shocks included in this system!

HD Ram trucks are built with literally dozens of different spring rates based on the powertrain, wheelbase, options and more, so offering a generic "gas" or "diesel" spring would have been a huge compromise in ride quality and/or load carrying capacity. AEV retains the factory front coil springs and pair them with 3 in. cast aluminum coil spring relocation spacers to achieve the additional lift height. This allows AEV to take advantage of the full range of factory spring rates and frequencies while still providing the necessary front end lift.

The AEV/Bilstein XP8100 reservoir shocks included with the DualSport XP suspension system are constructed from aerospace-quality billet components and tuned by AEV to work in perfect harmony with your outfitted HD Ram. The AEV tunes shocks use the same target weight as their Prospector/Prospector XL turn-key conversions to ensure that you get the absolute best possible ride quality and handling, without the degradation in performance, commonly associated with the added weight of bumpers, winch, full size spare, tent, etc.

Steering geometry is corrected by way of AEV's high steer kit, which includes a custom, no-drill forged drag link, AEV track bar and raised track bar tower. This system provides significant improvements to steering precision and handling by correcting the roll center height of the front suspension and bringing the steering geometry back into factory alignment. This results in reduced body roll and bump steer, which are major contributors to the loose or sloppy steering and driver fatigue commonly associated with many lift kits.

For many of the same reasons that AEV chose to retain the factory front coil springs, 2 in. rear coil spring spacers are included with Ram 2500 suspension systems to provide the necessary lift height without sacrificing ride quality or load carrying capacity. AEV also includes a set of bump stop spacers, rear track bar relocation bracket, sway bar end links and a new power hop bracket (if applicable). The OE leaf springs are retained, and new cast iron blocks are installed to provide 2 in. of lift in the rear on Ram 3500 trucks. Ram 2500 Air Ride and 3500 Air Assist systems are also available.

Front Axle Relocation Kit:

The factory radius arms are repositioned for optimal geometry, moving the axle forward 1.0 in., which was engineered to use a 37 in. tire. This provides a more neutral impact response, while also allowing more clearance for larger tires. A billet aluminum front driveshaft spacer is included to accommodate the new front axle positioning. AEV also offers a 1.6 in. axle forward kit, which was engineered to use a 40 in. tire.

For additional peace of mind, the DualSport XP suspension system is backed by AEV's Lifetime Warranty. Order the kit recommended for fitment on your vehicle.
