The TRX did not leave the factory with ordinary truck suspension. It runs Bilstein Black Hawk e² adaptive remote-reservoir shocks with roughly 13 inches of travel — a genuine high-speed desert setup, not a lifted street truck. That changes the whole shape of the upgrade conversation: for most owners the honest answer is not "replace it," it is "level it, protect it, or go long-travel."
The three real paths are a modest leveling kit to close the rake and clear taller rubber, replacement or rebuilt dampers when the factory reservoir shocks start weeping, and a full long-travel or bypass setup for trucks that live at speed off-road. Sizing, geometry and what actually clears is covered in the lift kit buyer's guide.
TRX Factory Suspension Reference
- Platform
- Fifth-generation (DT) Ram 1500, crew cab only, 2021–2024
- Dampers
- Bilstein Black Hawk e² adaptive shocks with remote reservoirs
- Travel
- ≈13 inches — already long-travel by production-truck standards
- Rear setup
- Coil-sprung rear, not leaf — lift and leveling hardware differs from a leaf-sprung truck
- Factory tire clearance
- 35-inch (325/65R18) at stock height
- Typical next size
- 37-inch tires generally want a leveling kit and often trimming — verify before buying
Before You Buy Suspension & Lift For A TRX
- Buy TRX-specific suspension parts. Leveling and lift components for a standard DT Ram 1500 do not transfer to the TRX's adaptive Bilstein setup.
- Any lift changes alignment. Budget for an alignment immediately after, not "sometime soon."
- Adaptive shocks are wired. If a kit requires removing or extending the damper harness, confirm how it handles the electronics before ordering.
- Taller tires change speedometer reading and effective gearing — plan for a recalibration if you go past 35s.
- Weeping reservoir shocks are a known wear point on hard-worked trucks; inspect before blaming a new kit for a ride change.
