Hey guys, I just sold my 08 Ram which had a 3" lift and level on it with 33" tires. I am considering a 14 Ram I have located and I want a very small lift or maybe even a level kit only. I would like opinions and preferably pics of anyone who put a 2" lift/level on their truck as well as any recommendations. Also for a nice all terrain tire where spacers are not required.
Note: I put Toyo 33s on my last Ram and those tires were too wide for any mud. I had to be pulled out of the deer lease by a single cab GMC! I think something skinnier would be preferred.

Thanks in advance,

go with a 285/75 tire if you can, this is alittle skinnier and the height your after.
A set of bills set at 2.1 would get you clise to level.

Bilstein shocks set at 2.1" and get either 275 65 r20 or 285 65 r20 tires

I too wanted an old man (62) lift so I went with the Rancho Quick lift on my 14 RC SB. Much easier to install than the Bilsteins were on my 07. I also used a 1" spacer in the rear to give it a very little rake again . I prefer the quick lifts over the bils as I can get the ride I want with the twist of a knob. I never could on my 07 with Bils . Its a little more money than bils but in a little over an hour I was finished the install .Rear spacer took about half hourr total . I got a little over 2" lift with the Ranchos. Once I am ready for tires I will throw on the 1.5" Zone body lift as I did on the 07.

I too had the rancho quicklift on my 2012 and loved it, straight forward install and ride was nice and smooth. I'll eventually put it on my 14.
