Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 1995 Dodge Van B3500 with Oversize Tires

Updated 08/28/2023 | Published 08/26/2023

Question:

Hello, I have a 1995 dodge pleasureway stw that is based on the 1995 dodge b3500 van. It has a 3 inch block lift on the rear leaf springs, and I’m curious if your “air lift LoadLifter 5000” and your “RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit” will be compatible together along with the lift kit. If not, I’m also looking at your “ Timbre Rear Suspension Enhancement System”. If the air and roadactive are not compatible, which system or combination would you best recommend? The vehicle is around 8,500Ibs currently. Had to install larger tires, and am trying to keep them from bumping the frame when going over large bumps.

Running more than one suspension enhancement kit can sometimes "work" but the problem is you end up with such a harsh ride quality that it becomes unbearable. For that amount of support you are wanting from your 1995 Dodge Van B3500 the best option is going to be the RAS kit part # RAS4612-DV with a lot of support adjusted in. The RAS kits do the best job giving the support like you are wanting without killing the ride quality. To basically just prevent bottoming out the RAS kit would easily pull that off without needing additional support.
