Bilsteins 5100 at 2.8 pics please

[14RAM4X4]

Ok, so I keep trying to search for pics of trucks with bilsteins set at 2.8" and find a thread here & there with maybe 1 pic. Mostly the search just give me threads of people asking advice or talking about putting them on.

How about a thread just for 1500 4WDs on bilsteins set at 2.8"?
Maybe include:
- tire size
- wheel offset
- if they rub at all
- what spacers / springs in the rear
- AND of course pics of your set up


I wish I could get this thread started, but I only have mine set at 1.4" and I'm thinking of going 2.8" with Icon 1.5" springs in the rear.

I figured a thread like this might save a lot of similar threads asking about levels and what they'll look like / if they'll work.

[gassersarentdead]

Good example for him. **** weed lol.

 

[Thatdude596]

[Thatdude596]

search button would give u hours of fun...figured I'd entertain

 

[14RAM4X4]

yup dude, the search would give me hours of fun sifting through threads finding one or two pics in a thread that are what I was searching for. I see threads every other week or so asking if bilsteins set at 2.8" will work with "x" size tire. Just thought a visual would help others out.

Mine is set at 2.8 with a 1" spacer in the rear. 35x12.50r18 on 18x9 -12 offset wheels. They rub a little on full lock.

 

[14RAM4X4]

Looks good Dema. Does it rub on the back of the bumper or on the swaybar? With that offset it looks like it rubs on the back side of the bumper/liner. I'm thinking a 1/4" spacer for my stock 20x8 wheels or some +1 offset 20x9 wheels which puts it at about the same backspacing. It only slightly rubs when at full lock turned drive. It doesn't rub at all at full lock turned passenger??? Weird to me, but I guess that's Chrysler's variances?

Rubs the plastic inner fender behind the tire when I'm turning left going through a dip or bump.

You realize right behind that thin plastic is metal you're rubbing? I had to notch it out.

Ya...that's some damage waiting to happen.

 

[Dema]

I drive her easy lol. I plan on more lift in the near future. 1.5" BL hopefully.

[edemce]

2.8" Front, stock height rear. 1/4" nose high, will solve with new rear springs soon.

Looks great, are you going to get some harder spring rates to compensate for any squat now that will cause the nose to lift up?
