I have a 2011 Ram Laramie Longhorn with crew cab, 5'7" bed and the rambox feature. I have a farm and primarily use it to load hay or transport items from the fields. My dad has a 3500 diesel and a 2500 that I use for heavy-duty towing but my ram does just about everything I need.
I also live a few hours from Moab and did Shafer trail last weekend. It was seriously one of the best experiences of my life. The truck handled everything okay, though my side steps scraped 2-3 times on my 40 mile trail ride. Now I'm contemplating getting a lift on my truck but don't want to go overboard. I can get an adjustable ball point hitch for towing but I don't want it so lifted that it becomes impractical for farm use or lose too much horsepower. I also don't plan on driving my truck in aggressive moab climbs where I could flip it or do something stupid.
I basically want to know what is a lift that isn't going to be a lot of work or screw up my truck, but be practical enough to use for work and not lose a lot of power. I know this is going to be based on everyone's opinion/preference but I'd just like to hear some recommendations
Any thoughts from those who have been to Moab as well would be greatly appreciated.
