Aftermarket shocks question...

Can anyone recommend replacement aftermarket shocks for my 2012 Ram 3500?


My truck is stock except for a 2 inch leveling kit and slightly larger tires that I added (Toyo's 285/75/R17's) on the stock wheels and she rides rough. I'd like to soften the ride a bit so I'm thinking maybe buying better quality aftermarket shocks might do the trick.


I tow a large boat off and on but my truck is used primarily for commuting long distances so my wife and I would appreciate a softer ride...any suggestions??

Bilstein 5100's up front and 5150's or 5100's in back.

I have Bilstein 5100 front and rear to include the steering stabilizer. Couldn't be happier. Vast improvement over stock. I drive about 75 miles per day and like the ride. My wife isn't bothered by it either. The stock shocks made the truck bounce too much... Then the left front started leaking around 25K which was the reason for the upgrade. I now have just under 75K on the truck and they still ride like new.

Check out Thuren's overland shocks. They are a nice up grade over a stocker, and only $300 for all four!

Or you can spend thousands and do a full suspension. It's worth it, but once you start you'll be hooked!
