Witch liftkit on a ram 2013 with 33" is better the 2" or the 2.5" lift kit? And ready lift or daystar is the best one?

Hell bent steel seems to be a very popular one on this forum. Heard nothin but good things about it but not sure if they make em for the 2013's but definitely something to look into

You'll want to measure the distance between the ground and top of your fender wells to determine what size you need. As mentioned above I'm not sure about 2013s yet, but definitely check into Hell Bent Steel. Also, I believe your truck comes with 33's so you could fit bigger with the level.

Yeah Hell Bent seems to be the way to go because 1) they are cheaper. 2) I've heard a lot of other people complain about the "cinch bolts" on other spacers, where they strip. Havent heard that about hell bent.
You do have 33's more than likely you could go with a 305/55/20 or even a 275/65/20 which people seem to like. 275/65 is a 34.5 inch tall tire, people go with goodyear duratracs, cooper ltz, I have the 275/60 rugged terrain's on mine and they look meaty.
I have 3" of rake on my 2011 so Im going with 2.5" level. A lot of folks like the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shock, if you use 4wd a lot you may not like the level because it causes an odd angle on the cv axle's and some people get a wobble in 4wd at low speeds. But then again I've even heard of people with Bilstein's with wobble.

now my question is, can you combine the 5100's with a level kit? Or is it a either or type of deal

You can but if you're paying for the bilsteins there is no reason to buy another leveling kit
