Truck looks awesome man Any more pic's thinking of doing the same lift with a 22x12 -44 37's possibly put on the 1 inch spacer on the front and back if need be to get a 6.5 like the diesel kit I've already called zone and they basically said every component from the 6.5 kit for the diesel is the exact same as 5.5 except the coils do you have more clearance left with your set up

To be honest, yes. It will look weird, not bad, but weird. A 6" lift's purpose is to accommodate larger tires/wheels. You can do it but expect some comments every now n then. Personally, I'd wait til you can get the wheels and tires to go with that lift. Good luck!

Definitely wait till you can get bigger tires.. 33s with a 6" lift would look way to small.

I haven't posted here yet because I wanted to get more work done on the truck first. ...but I think I might always feel that way so here goes...
2013 Ram 1500 Express 4x4 5.7L in Copperhead Pearl
3.92 gears
Rear LSD
All chrome other than exhaust tips and badges replaced with black
Zone 6" Suspension lift with SS Runner adjustable struts
Fuel Boost 17" X 9" wheels
37" X 12.5" Nitto Trail Grapplers
Bully Dog GT
Line-X premium spray on bedliner
Tinted windows
Some interior stuff that's more function than fun
I get a good amount of compliments on the look, but I just see it as an unfinished project that I've been chipping away at for the last two months. I have Powesteps going on and the windshield getting tinted next week. So much more work to do - fenders, bumpers, tiregate for my matching spare, winch, tow points, radiused LED bar on the roof, frame mounted compressor, locker, intake, exhaust, etc., etc...

Your truck's a beast! I think flipping those tow mirrors up would complete the look and I hear it adds 25hp

First time showing off the rig... Wanted to wait for the lift
This baby is 2 weeks old...
6.5" zone lift
37x13.5 Toyo mud terrains
17" XD Monster II
Amp research steps
5% ceramic tint
Line-x
More planned in the near future, eating cup O noodles until then
I need to take it out to get some cool backgrounds like the rest of you, looks way bigger in person

Does anyone know what part number I need to order for the bilsteins or the ranchos? I want to put the adjustable front shocks on the beast and I can find the right ones from rancho..I believe I have the right number for the bilsteins.

Anyone know what shocks will work in the rear? I have the 6" RCX lift and Bilsteins website says their rear shocks only work for 0-1" of lift.

The bilstein 5100s wont work in the rear with a suspension lift. I just spent some time replacing my rear RCX shocks and ended up going with the BDS Fox 2.0 shocks, rides great now, theyre pretty nice.
