For your 2014 Ram 1500, it will depend on if you have a body lift or a suspension lift.

With a body lift, the space where the SumoSprings installed has not been increased, so you can install them like normal. If this is the lift that you have, then I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs, part # SSR-307-47. They are for both 2-wheel and 4-wheel drives and have a capacity of 1500 pounds. I've linked to a video installation of these for you to look at.

If you have a suspension lift, then that space where the springs would install has been increased by 6.5", and that is too great a distance for them to activate. In this case, you would need Air Lifts and measure the distance between the jounce bumper strike plate and the vehicle frame. You will then need to subtract that number from the design height of your Air Lifts, which is 5-1/2" for the Air Lifts I recommend for you, part # AL57365. I've linked to a video installation of these as well.

That number you get will determine which spacers you need, which will more than likely be the 6" ones, part # AL79GV. If you get a different number, let me know and I can help you find the correct spacers.
