going a little bigger

chadster21 · Nov 1, 2012

right now i have a 2012 ram sport with 6'' rcx lift on 35'' coopers and 20'' fuel hostage rims. seeing all the trucks on here is making me think mine is small... so up shes rising.

thanks to fastnugly i have a 1.25'' body lift on the way aswell as a 1.75'' coil spacer.

im also adding the pro comp adjustable shocks up front at 2.75 ish. and i just ordered some 37'' toyo open country mt tires.

im hoping this will finally satisfy me becuase the 6'' really isnt cutting it.

does anyone have input on the shocks i am going with? and how much work do i have ahead of me for this body lift. any thoughts or suggestions are welcome

The pro comp pro runners are same as bilsteins, but I agree with making it a 3"

I want to know more about them as we'll haven't heard much of them but love pro comp suspension.

Didn't even see the part on the pro comp shocks sorry about that! But usually pro comp makes good products

Yeah I just found that the pro comp are not as adjustable though only 0 or 2.75" no in between is what 4 wheel parts told me. Where as bilsteins are adjustable in between. Still love pro comp stuff and your truck txkid

Exactly ^^^^ no other settings. But when pairing it with a pro comp 6" kit, it works wonders as their diff drop is lower than most other lift kits

Maxed Bilsteins on a pro comp kit is very similar in height to an RCX kit with Bilsteins at 2.1
Go figure

Chad, you will have a pretty big lift man and it will be VERY noticeable over your current setup. No questions about that.
You'll be adding 4" up front and 3" in the rear of suspension lift :005:

Plus your truck will feel even taller with the larger meat :********:

Haha ya dude I'm anxious to get at it when I get home. Trying to line up a spring compresser and get it installed. Il be doing it all the same day. Just hoping my 37s will show up while I'm home. I really don't want to have to wait another 3 weeks to get them on

Can't wait to see pics.
Post EM up using the img code. Or send EM to me and I'll get EM posted up here larger

Ya when I get home I will take a bunch of before and after and il text em to ya. Are my amps gunna affect the bL install at all?

chadster21 · Nov 3, 2012

I got ahold of my tire guy and 38s were a good bit more and would've taken an extra week to get so I scrapped that idea

Would make sense with rcx being a larger strut spacer by around an inch, needing around an extra inch on shock setting to get there, but on the pro comp diff drop cv angle should be slightly better. Fast how big is rcx diff drop?

Sweet!
It shouldn't. But if it does it wouldn't be much to clear the way. But for the most part, you shouldn't have any issues.
