I'm looking to do bilsteins on all 4 corners with the front set at 2.8, what size rear spacer do I need to get a "perfect" level? Dont plan on hauling anytime soon.

Also should I invest in the mevotech upper control arms at the same time?

Depending on your factory rake, a 3/4" spacer will probably be a touch higher in the rear (less than 1/2"), and a 1" spacer will be just shy of 1" of rake.

Put some 6112 and 5160 Bilsteins on a friends RAM 1500 2011, holy **** those rear upper inner nuts was hard to reach. And the Left front lover bolt was stuck in the bushing... Got it out in the end but not in one piece...

Lets se if the front settles a bit, otherwise it will get a small lift in the rear

The coke bottle is 50cl/0.5L/half a quart ;)

Yeah they are big :) He was pleased with the ride, maby not worth the money he said (they ended up costing $1.700 with shipping and custom fees to Sweden, yes we are taxed to death here) but he has not hit any pot holes /nasty speed bumps etc. yet.

Can’t remember if I posted since new tires.

295/65-20 Ridge Grapplers on stock 20x9 sport wheels. Bilstein at full 2.8 up front, rear is stock. Tires do scrub at full lock right turn on right side sway bar, a 5mm spacer will sort that out. It doesn’t want rub hard enough that I notice unless the radio is off because I can’t feel it, it’s so lite.

They are not bad for the most part, but the dangerous politically correct politicians need the money for there "good" deeds... The yearly road tax for the RAM is $647... and 1/3 going back to the roads/railways etc.

More details on mopar 2" lift? What fender flares are those? Size tires? I love that truck and excited because I have the sport in granite crystalline so that looks like what I will accomplish

Just had my truck leveled with 5100 front and rear. Set at 2.1 with no spacers in back. I think it turned out just right. My driveway slopes down a bit so it doesn't look quite as level as it really is. I still have about a 1/2" rake.
