So, I have a 2.5 spacer level on my 2015 Ram 1500 CC 4X4. So far no problems, it drives fine and no noise. The dealership said they haven't seen any problems with it, the garage that installed it checked it and said everything looks fine with it. A local 4 wheel drive garage said they haven't seen any issues with this set up in 2015's and that I should keep the stock shocks. They are fine. Don't replace until they wear out.

But, after reading everything in here I often wonder if I can make it better. Lift kits cost more than 2k installed. Wouldn't the truck be bullet proof so to speak if I replaced all the shocks with Bils, added 1 inch larger coils to the rear Bils and replaced the UCA's with Mevos?? Wouldn't that give me the correct height for 35's and make the truck more dependable with better drive ability on and off road? That is still cheaper (I think) than a lift kit.

Probably looking at about $550-$600ish for all the things you mentioned. Install will probably be another $500-$600 based on what most people here claim they pay. Worse case $1300.

Or a 4"-6" lift kit for about $1300 + $600-$800 install. Worse case $2100. (Mine, 6" $1250 and install $600...$1850.)

Weigh your options, bulletproof... No.

Since you already installed what you installed, I would not change it. Bank you money for "what ifs." Take the info on these forums with a truckload of salt.

If you just want to run 35s , you should be able to do that now with the 2.5" spacer and no change to the rear .
I installed bilsteins @2.8 " on my 2014 Ram and I think they are great , but if your happy with your spacers you should just keep them unless they give you issues .
