Hey Guys,

My first time posting, I usually just troll.

I recently had to send my truck (2012 Ram 1500 / Sport/CC) to the body shop due to an accident caused by ice. The bodyshop guy worked with me and determined we could add a winch bumper for the same cost as a Ram Bumper.

We added an Iron Cross Front Bumper with the hoop and winch mount. It of course has brought the front end down even without a winch yet.

I would like to level it back out and I am thinking about the bilstein 5100's set at 2.8 and a set of tuff truk springs with 25% more capacity as I run a decked system in the back along with an ARE topper.

Has anybody run into this before?

Thanks

This is very common. Especially on trucks that have a little age on the springs. Bils and new springs in the rear should get you all fixed up

I added a winch bumper and did the Bils set at 2.1.

Still a slight rake, but did the job
