Hello guys, I just recently got a 2017 Ram 1500 4x4 with a 5.7 liter Hemi(tradesman) Quad Cab. This will be my first lifted truck I have always had lowered and bagged trucks so I am very new to four-wheel drive and lifted suspension I have decided I want to do a 6 inch lift kit and 22in rims with 35 or 37 inch tires I originally was going to get a Rough Country lift but the more and more I looked into it and read reviews & forums I quickly decided on a zone or superlift 6 inch lift kit, I think I have made up my mind on the 6in Zone lift kit but now I cannot make up my mind on a 3 or a 5 inch rear coil honestly I would like my truck to sit level or even nose high so I was thinking of doing the 3in rear coil but I want the full 6in of lift so if I do the 5in coil in the rear, could I use the Bilstein or Eibach adjustable struts to get me level or nose High? I was also looking into possibly getting some Fox coilovers I had found some without the external Reservoir that were around 4 or 5 hundred. But coilovers would basically be the same thing as struts correct? I was told that if I had a 6 inch lift kit on my truck I would have to use the bills set at stock ride height because if I adjust them up I will over extend my UCAs and i would not be able to align my truck is this correct?? If so could I fix this problem by replacing the upper control arms and if I can does anybody know of any upper control arms that would fix this problem would the Zone UCAs wprk? I swear I read so many people saying that that's how they were leveling their trucks with the 6 zone kit but I may be wrong.. so if that is the case and I am not able to use struts or even coilovers to level or lift the front past what the kit lifts it could I cut a coil or a half of a coil off of the 5in rear coils or should I try to find a 4-inch coil or just go with the 3-inch coil and possibly add a spacer?? If anybody has pictures of their trucks with the Zone lift kit on it and the 6 or 3 inch rear coil I would really appreciate it and if anybody has any knowledge on this subject or could answer any of my above stated questions I would very much appreciate it I would really like to order my lift but I'm not sure what to order.. thanks again to everyone and sorry in advance if I did anything wrong or came across completely ignorant once again I am very new to lifted trucks 4 wheel drive this forum basically all of this..
