03 dodge ram suspention opinions

[BoostedSport]

I posted this up in the truck section as also.
Hi, the names pat this is my first post. I've been doing quite a few auto cross events over the past year or so and it's time I step my suspension up to the next level. I'm curious as to what type of link suspension to put under it. I've decided to do coilovers in the front, but the rear I'm undecided on. In the pics below the tank will be moved as far back as I possibly can and will be centered, battery relocated, 1.5" taller actual c-notches, helper bags installed on the inside of the frame, and all new brake and fuel lines plumbed. Also, I have another d60 axle which ill be using instead of this one, off of a SRT10 viper truck with the factory bigger brembo brakes(also doing front upgrade as well). I would like the lower links to be on the outside of the frame basically where the leafs sit now, as well as the coilovers in the rear and they'll be at a slight 10-20* angle. I turned below if more are needed I can do that as well. Ill be doing all the fabrication my self. I'm all ears let me know what you think.
Thanks Pat

Do a simple 4 link with a pan-hard, and if you want a little more a watts link. Anything else is going to require more surgery, and then cutting into your bed.

For the "springs" I would use coil-overs with sleeve style air bags. This way the coil overs support the truck empty, and the air bags keep your weight capacity.

Who sells a coilover like you speak of? Not really wanting a compressor or tank back there too. I want to lighten it up a little bit

Actually for the minimal amount of work in relocating stuff with the current config I would be thnking a trque arm/3 link style setup. A fourth link even in a parallel setup would be tricky with a stock tank. Depending on ride height etc the bed may ned some clearancing but I doubt it would be a ton.

With the bed on I have a lot of room to play with surprisingly. And I'm going to use a fuel cell centered behind the axel. I'm leaning more and more towards 3 links

AVS has the paraell 4 links, and they go on the outside of the frame.

You have to fab your own brackets from basic pieces out there.

Summit has QA1's, and you have to figure out which Height is best for your needs.

SRT10 truck rear brakes are nothing more than OEM Dodge 3/4-1 ton truck rear stuff. It's an off the shelf Dodge 2 piston caliper. Better than what you have now but nothing Brembo about it.
At any rate adding that rear kit with the actual Brambo 4 piston, 15" front rotor will do wonders for your stopping.
