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.

If you were to readjust the height of these struts would you replace or reuse the lock nut. What's the size of it? I ask because they send a new nut with the struts so I'm assuming replace it.... Dropping truck of now to raise up to 2.8

if I ever get mine back from the damn shop I'll post an updated one of my truck... 2.8 and new 34" tires. They've had it since Sunday night.

thanks to both of you. I'm very pleased at the moment. Just need to clean it up. This winter has been rough for our standards and when i'm off it rains....

Definitely looks nice! I really like the stance.

If it ever stops raining here so I can pull my truck into the back garage, I'll get my bils/tgc rear spacers installed!! Damn spring in Ohio!!

Anyone thinking of the Bilsteins. I just put all four on my and it changed the ride tremendously for the better. Stiff, firm and no floating. Recommended.

It came out perfect. I can't emphasize how important it is to understand Offset and Backspacing. I calculated it just right for these tires. If I went with these wheels and a 35x12.5 it would have looked horrible. Offset Offset Offset
