Lifting or leveling

Brandonwiles · Jan 5, 2016

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site but I've been looking at lifting my 2014 1500 and needed someone's advice. Here's my game plan. I'd like to put a 4" suspension lift with 34" nittos on fuel Kranks. Not sure what brand lift. Or if the 34's will look okay with the lift.

Welcome to the board!! I'm replying because about 6 months ago I was in the very same spot. I originally wanted a 4" lift with some 34s but now have completely changed my mind on what I'm going to purchase/install.

There's definitely a lot of great people on here who will help. Really, it's all in what you want to do. I do know that most will recommend BDS or Zone for the lift and will NOT recommend RCX (Rough Country). But like I said, it's all in what you want to do and what kind of look you're going for. Mine is leveled with spacers right now and I mean, it's nice but I want a much more aggressive look.

You can level 2.1" and run 35s.

I went with superlift. Mostly because it's the same lift Mopar puts their name on (may argue it doesn't void your warranty), it uses new springs in the rear rather than spacers, and it's a really good price! Both 6" and 4" are the same cost.

I was looking at lifts for awhile as well, but decided to go with bilsteins up front and a spacer in the rear.

I bought the rancho 2.25" quick lift from moes and couldn't be happier. I installed myself and it only took about an hour or so. They gave me enough room to run 35" tires and they can be adjusted to suit your desired stiffness or softness.

About an hour? I forsee myself spending an hour just on a stubborn bolt or two that don't want to budge.

I know the feeling! That's why I always allow for something stupid to hold me up anytime I do a project because that sorta thing is always happening to me too!

PB Blaster might help with stubborn bolts.

Hate to change it on you guys. What's the deal on leveling kits. I had talked to a local off-road shop about it. They say with the 2" ready lift leveling kit no one is coming back with premature ball joint failure. Opposed to the 2.5". Seems to be an issue with this body style

On 2013+ they changed the UCA (upper control arm) and the ball joint is more affected by the change in angles when you level it. Stock height in 4x4 is usually 36" in front and 39" in rear, and the more of a level you put in the front w/o adding a spindel will kill your UCA.

Brandonwiles · Jan 7, 2016

So what you're saying is that buying an aftermarket uca isn't going to help?

Compare readylift with hellbent steel spacers.
