lol sorry typed the wrong number, 17 inch rims, and 36.5 in the front and 39.5 in the back

How much rake do you want? Personally, I like a slight rake, so that the truck doesn't look so sagged out when you tow a boat, load the bed, etc. But it's all personal preference at that point. At 2.8 you'll be very level.

It's situations like this lol... So who does he pm? Or he could start a new thread, but we'll just call him names and tell him to use the search feature. Lol. Damned if you do.. Damned if you don't.

It's nice to me when I can see everyones questions in 1 thread, they usually ask exactly what I'm wondering. Which also makes the "search feature" useful.

Only regret was not going for 2.8 from the getgo but no trouble so no complaints!
Do you have any other pics of this?

Here's my 2013 Ram 1500 Sport with Bilstein on all 4 corners. The front adjustable ones are set at the highest setting 2.8". I put 1.75" spacers for the rear because I wanted to keep the slight rake. Tires are Wrangler Duratracs 275/65R20 (34") on stocks.

This is stock the day I picked it up at the dealer with stock tires and shocks.

Here's a comparison to a 2013 F-150 with 2.5" leveling kit and 35" BFG MTs.

Chipmaker, Any other pics at different angles? Really thinking about going with this setup. Hard decision though! Want to get it right the first time!

this is the only one I could find. Set at 2.1 with no air in my bags with 6000lb behind it. Probably not the best pic. Glad to see some with stock 20's and bigger tires. I'm torn on whether to go with 275 65 20 or get 17" rims. I cant find a 34" tire I like in that size. I'm scared of 35" since i'll be pulling this around some. Also gonna go up to 2.8 when I get the new tires. I've has a squeak since day 1 on the install. I'm gonna pay someone to raise them and see if it goes away. Hope so.
