Need all opinions and info

Shane1990 · Nov 26, 2016

Hey all I just picked up my 2014 Ram 1500 4x4 I'm looking into the best options to lift my truck. I am looking to do a 6 inch lift. I have a local company trying to sell me on the Pro comp coil over suspension lift. My questions are, is there a a significant difference between a coil over lift and a spacer lift? Other than ride quality and is it really worth it? I've read a few threads saying zone and superlift are the way to go but all shops I have talked to have told me to stay away from them... I'm just trying to get opinions from people who own the trucks and know how they perform once lifted. Also the truck is gonna be for mild recreational use. No mud holes for this truck any time soon. Here is a pic of the truck as it sits now more pics of upgrades when they happen

I have a zone lift kit and love it. The truck rides like it's not even lifted.

That's what other threads have said as well. My only concern is all shops I have spoken to said they are crap and made of cheap material. It's getting hard to tell if they are serious or just trying to sell me a more expensive lift.

That's what other threads have said as well. I'm just trying to figure out if they are saying the lift is junk just to try and make me purchase a more expensive lift.

I think they are telling you that to sell you a kit from a company they actually represent.

Good luck with your choice.

Sooo... what are they suggesting you get?

They are suggesting I get the Pro comp coil over system that costs roughly$2800.00

F--- all that noise. I mean you can...it's a credible company with years of experience behind it but for your need zone, bds etc...will do just fine and cheaper at that.

99% of members on here either run zone, bds or super lift......and then there's me with RCX. :naughty:

Any of these systems and you will be good to go. :happy107:

Thats what I thought. How is the RCX lift? And are UPA's a necessity? I'm only gonna be pulling about 4K in weight behind the truck

I've been completely content with my RCX lift .....though.....99% of members here will tell you to shy away from them lol if you look through the lifted section you'll find'em.

UCAS? Ehhh....you'll get mixed opinions on those too but replacing them is not necessary. There's actually been a couple issues lately that members have had using aftermarket UCAs....mevotechs I believe.

I'm sure you'll get more opinions on this thread with time.

Yeah I meant UCA's. Sorry for the typo. The only reason I ask is because I had a lifted Tacoma and it was a necessity to change the UCA

I wanted the RCX, but my shop talked me into the zone 6" . It's a great middle of the road lift IMO. My truck rides great and I have no issues.

What rear option did you go with on the zone? And what size wheel and tire are you running?

I went 5" on the rear and put bilstein 5100's all the way around and am running 37's on 20x12 Xd Riots. I like the set up and look for now.

Your truck looks awesome and did the bilsteins come with the lift or was it another charge? I'm also thinking of running a 35 not a 37

The bilstein's aren't included with any lift that I know of. I wanted to run new shocks and they are exactly what I need. I believe a lot of folks run those. Tire size is definitely a personal choice and really depends on the look you want. Good luck!

Just put rcx 4 inch on mine. Super easy install. Rides great. Highly recommended.

I just picked up a Superlift 4" for my 2014 Ram 1500 for $1600 and I'm planning on running 35's. My dodge dealer recommended Superlift but that's not saying others aren't good. Just my preference.
