I have a 2012 Ram 1500 single cab with a 2.5" leveling kit which is front shocks and coils, and I will be taking off the level for a 4.5" lift. The question is; what lift should I get?

I jacked the front end up about 2" which would be pretty close to me taking the 2.5" level off, and putting on the 4.5" lift. This is what it looked like with the front jacked up.eb2d0bb79425ad9e96ad663230e2fae7.jpg967aef2f421f99ee96be99ac65cf1dd6.jpg2114eb9278b99d46142f4341d8b4805d.jpg96d2156e88fb1849ae15def3d7b97538.jpga02e6238640954f82b4e91e6c284d5ac.jpgbf9f9ccda00ae6d4ba582326497d55a7.jpg

A lot of folks here with 2wds like the MaxTrac. They're also a vendor for this site.

No doubt 4.5" spindles

I know a company on eBay makes them and so does Maxtrac

Before I installed my BDS lift, I actually had a picture of your truck saved to my phone. I really like how your truck looks as is.

I have the maxtrac leveling kit on it now. I'll probably go with the maxtrac 4.5" lift. Thanks

I'd leave it alone. Looks great just the way it is.

If I didn't have a Mustang, I'd have a truck very similar to yours.
Thanks, but I can never seem to be happy with what I have and always want something different
