Need some insight on trying to go up a little higher, and am not real up on this stuff
To give you some background
I am running a 6" Rough Country lift on my 2015 1500. I want to take it a little higher. So I went to the the garage that sold and installed the lift for me as I was really happy with their work and they were real friendly.
So when I decided I wanted to go higher I stopped in and ask them what I could do. They told me a 6" was the max lift available for my truck. So I thought I would ask about a body lift, either a Zone 1.5" or Performance 3"
Like stated just looking for a little more. They told me they would not recommend a body lift for my truck ? So frustrated I left and starting doing some research and that has led me to this post
I was looking at rear coils form Icon that claim a variable spring rate for a soft factory ride with a increased spring rate when towing and hauling. Obviously this sounds to good to be true, how would a spring know if I was hauling or not ? They also claim it would raise the rear of the truck by 1.5"
So my thought process went to if I put these on and upgraded my struts to the adjustable Bilstein 5100 I could get an addition 1.5" of lift
Is this viable or am I just crazy and this stuff does not work like that ?
here are the springs
ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2009+ Ram 1500 Rear Coil Spring Kit # 212150
here is the lift I have on the truck
6in Suspension Lift Kit for 12-17 Dodge 4wd 1500 Ram | Rough Country Suspension Systems®
Any insight is appreciated, and if this is out to lunch is there any path other than body that will get me up a little further say 1.5" to 3"
Thanks
