Has anybody ever put a 2.5inch levelling spacer and 1.5inch and half body kit to make it like a 4in lift ? I already have the spacer so I don't really wanna spend 2000$ on a 4in lift kit when I could buy a 200 body kit

I bought my truck last year and it has a 3 level and 2 body on 33's. Looks good but I want to do a 6". I rides smooth.

Yeah, I love it. Not bad for only spending 250 between the level kit and body lift. And the install was easy.

Do you have to get brake extension or anything

Topearson515, I see you have the urethane covered bumper. How hard was this to deal with when installing the body lift? Does it remove and reinstall as easily as a standard metal bumper?

I might do the same. Although I'd prefer an actual lift but I had a 6 inch on my Silverado and the ride difference between it and my Ram makes me not want to lift it. Even though I'm sure I will.

No, a ground strap extension on the driver side front in the wheel well and that's about it, cleaned up with a wire wheel to confirm good contact and painted. Everything else has plenty of clearance frame barley shows with a 1.5 so I didn't need wheel well guards. Also the exhaust tips I just tipped up a little.

Not difficult at all, I'm assuning the mounting setup is the same, I just drilled two new holes one on each side about 1 inch up or whatever it was for the instructions and used the new mounting bracket extension and re mounted the bumper. It's really s skin to a somewhat metal and plastic bumper. Not a lot holding on the skin some screws inside the fender , some underneath and then a few more hiding behind headlights and felt grille

I have my bilstein's set at 2.1", and I have the 1.5" body lift. I'll post some pictures of it this weekend. But to answer your question, removing and reinstalling the bumper is pretty easy. It's a bit more involved than simply removing the bumper. The front grille needs to be removed as well.

I have a 2015. Just last weekend I did the supreme suspension 3.5" (really is 2.5") spacer in the front and a 1.5" in the back. I put 33x12.5r20 and I haven't had any problems with anything so far! It was super easy to do too. IMG_7369.JPG

Wth?!

Wow...do the police actually enforce this?

I contacted highway safety and they said a licenced mechanic can fail the inspection which you can be charged or get your truck impounded if your caught with an expired inspection but another dealer is telling me that I should be able to with prove of an engineer certificate so I'm calling highway safety Monday morning
