Quick answer

A coil spacer designed for a Ram 2500 often fits the 3500, but key differences in front axle weight, spring rates, and model-specific exclusions (like Power Wagon or dually) mean you must verify fitment before buying. The Body Armor 4x4 2-inch coil spacer and shock extension is a solid bolt-on option for most 2500 and 3500 trucks, but it does not fit dually or rear air suspension models.

Suspension differences between Ram 2500 and 3500

The Ram 2500 and 3500 share the same basic front suspension architecture, but the 3500 typically carries a heavier front axle and stiffer springs to handle higher payload ratings. This means a coil spacer that lifts the 2500 may produce slightly less lift on a 3500 due to the increased spring rate. In practice, the difference is usually minimal—around 0.1 to 0.2 inches—but it's worth noting if you need an exact 2-inch lift.

Both trucks use coil springs in the front, so a spacer lift works the same way: it sits on top of the spring to push the chassis up. The shock extension included in kits like the Body Armor 4x4 2-inch spacer kit keeps your factory shocks from topping out, maintaining stock-like damping.

Model-specific exclusions you need to know

Not every Ram 2500 or 3500 can use the same coil spacer. The Body Armor 4x4 kit explicitly does not fit Power Wagon, Rebel, dually models, or trucks with rear air suspension. Power Wagon and Rebel models have different spring rates and shock tuning, while dually models have a wider rear axle that changes the suspension geometry. Air suspension systems require a different approach entirely—spacers can interfere with the air spring's travel.

If you drive a 2013-2026 Ram 2500 or a 2014-2023 Ram 3500 (excluding the models above), the 2-inch coil spacer and shock extension is a straightforward choice. Always double-check your truck's trim and options before ordering.

Ride quality and return to stock

One of the biggest advantages of a coil spacer lift is that it preserves the factory ride quality. Unlike a full suspension lift that replaces springs and shocks, a spacer simply raises the body without changing spring rate or damping. The Body Armor 4x4 kit is designed to maintain stock ride quality, so your truck won't feel harsher after installation.

Another practical benefit: you can return the truck to stock quickly by removing the spacers and shock extensions. This is useful if you sell the truck or want to switch to a different lift later. No cutting, welding, or permanent modifications are needed.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Ram 2500 vs 3500 fitment: The same coil spacer works on both trucks in most cases, but the 3500's stiffer springs may reduce lift height slightly. Verify your truck's trim against the kit's exclusion list (no Power Wagon, Rebel, dually, or rear air suspension). Measure your front fender height before and after installation to confirm the actual lift.
  • 2-inch lift vs leveling: A 2-inch coil spacer on the front alone will level the truck if the rear already sits higher from the factory. If you want a uniform 2-inch lift all around, you may need a rear spacer or add-a-leaf. The Body Armor kit includes only front spacers and shock extensions. Decide whether you want a level stance or a full 2-inch lift before ordering.
  • Bolt-on convenience vs lift height limit: Coil spacers are easy to install and reversible, but they are limited to about 2-3 inches of lift. For taller lifts, you need new springs, control arms, and longer shocks. The 2-inch spacer is a great entry point for fitting 35-inch tires without major modifications. If you plan to run 37-inch tires or need more than 3 inches of lift, consider a complete suspension system instead.

Which truck should choose this kit?

Best for

  • Owners of 2013-2026 Ram 2500 or 2014-2023 Ram 3500 (non-Power Wagon, non-Rebel, non-dually, non-air suspension) who want a simple 2-inch front lift to level the truck or fit larger tires.
  • DIYers looking for a bolt-on, reversible lift that preserves factory ride quality and doesn't require cutting or welding.

Not for

  • Ram 2500 Power Wagon or Rebel owners—these models have different spring rates and shock tuning that are not compatible with this spacer kit.
  • Ram 3500 dually or any truck with rear air suspension—the kit does not fit these configurations.
  • Drivers who need more than 3 inches of lift or plan to run 37-inch tires—consider a full suspension lift with new springs and control arms.
