As much as I know Ram was from Ikshvaku dynasty which was basically a Suryavansh only..the descendants from sun God...Raja Harischandra, dilip, Raghu( on his name Ram , Dashrath were called Raghuvanshi too) Ram were from this lineage..as per purans..but in Buddhist text it is mentioned that king Shudhodha was also the descendent of Suryavansh but they originated from some other king... I am not sure if he was the direct descendant or not. đ
I found some write up on Shakya and its relation to Suryavansh on Wiki.
