Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2017 Ram 1500 that is Lifted
Question:
The truck was already lifted when I bought it so I dont know exactly what it is. I have right at 8" from the top of the current bump stop bracket to the frame. Just thought if I had the length of the new piece I could add enough spacers minus the 1 or 1.5 inch clearance needed after install to get the right length.

The Timbren kit part # TDR1500DQ that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Ram 1500 and would be a great option to give you additional suspension support when you are carrying a lot of weight.
Since you have a lifted truck though you will need spacers to take up the additional space created by the lift. For one inch spacers you'd want the part # A25723-90AH00 and for 1/2 inch spacers # TA25722-90P00.
