A suspension modification designed for certain model year Ram 1500 trucks aims to reduce or eliminate the factory-installed rake. This rake typically presents as a lower front-end stance compared to the rear. This modification usually involves installing spacers or replacement components at the front suspension to raise it, creating a more level vehicle profile. As an example, a kit might include coil spring spacers or new upper control arms specifically engineered for the front suspension of the designated truck model.
Implementing this adjustment offers several potential advantages. It can improve the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal by providing a more balanced and symmetrical look. Functionally, a level stance can allow for the installation of larger tires without rubbing and may improve ground clearance in certain off-road situations. Historically, adjustments to vehicle suspension have been performed to cater to individual preferences for both appearance and utility.
