Finally done 4" SuperLift w/35" Trail Grapplers

[Juvenator93]

Nice Ram! Looks killer! I too have a 4" Mopar with Bilstein's . When I got mine installed and done I notices I still had 2" of rake too... glad I bought the Bilstein's in case such an event were to happen, I adjusted them to 1.4" and it leveled it pretty good. Like the OP, I didn't want more than a 35" tire, so wanted more than a 4", but not quite a 6". Well at 1.4 I measure F: 42.5" R: 43.25"(did settle about 1/2" since install in March). I measured a 6" RCX on 35s and they measured 43.5 F&R. So, depending on tires, I sit 1" lower than a 6". For many, that's what they were looking for, so figured I'd put my .02 in. Also, the Mopar lift doesn't void your warranty. Here are some pics!

Your truck was my inspiration. Last year I order my truck and had like 8 weeks to wait. I was out with my family and we saw a lifted Ram and my says "you should do that to your new truck" (I know that doesn't sound real, but she said it). The first truck I saw in the Google search was yours and I was sold.

And that makes two of us! When I was looking at 4" lifts I saw his truck and it just looked exactly how I wanted mine, and here I am haha. Great looking trucks gentlemen.

After months of research I got it done. Like most I was back and forth on 4" or 6" lift. I knew I didn't want anything lager than 35" tires. I wanted it to look lifted but not too much wheel well to make the tires look small.

So I went with the SuperLift 4" kit w/Bilstein's. I bought a TGC 1" rear coil spacer so I could get the rear up a bit more and adjust the Bilstien's up front to level. The wheels are Fuel Octane's 20x9" 1mm offset and the tires are Nitto Trail Grapplers 35x12.5.

My goal was to try and get a stance between the 4" and 6" lifts. Not sure if I did or if it is closer to a 6" lift now, but I love the way it looks. I did all the work myself in a weekend. I installed the the rear spacer off the get go and set the Bilstein's to the second ring(.7") and the truck ended up with 2" of rake. So I set the Bilstein's to forth ring(2.1") and and it still had over an inch of rake.

(Edit) I ended up taking the rear spacer out and now have about 1/4" of rake. Current fender measurements below.

The day I brought her home.


Now

Man your truck looks great !

I wonder with your setup

4" Superlifts and bills @2.1" if you could fit 37s with the right wheel ?

I'm sure it would look stuffed , but with 35 that look that good for summer set up and the right wheel and spacers maybe a 37 would fit for the winter set up ??

 

[R.L.K.]

I ask this hoping some one who knows would chime in .
I'd like to run 35s for spring & summer and 37s for hunting / winter season, but most trucks I see with the 6" kits and bills @ 2.1" - 2.8 " the 35s look too small .

 

[hangac1093]

As stated above the 4" SuperLift is very close to an RCX 6" lift. I have plenty of room for the 35's but I wouldn't try 37's. I really love the way it looks now. You could definitely for 37's with a body lift...I'm pretty sure someone on here did it, maybe Jake09 I think.

In the opposite direction I just buy my stock wheels and tires on for the north east winter. You wanna talk about tires looking too small....hahaha, my wife comes out and says "well that looks ridiculous"

I will have to get a pic tomorrow if I have time.

That could possibly be one the the top 3 set ups I've seen.....well done and luv the stance.

After you have 37's with a 6" and bils.....the 35's will seem rediculously small.

You gotta post a picture of your truck with the stockers !
I really like the way your truck looks now btw!

This really makes me lean towards a 4 inch lift also, I currently just have the mopar 2 inch spacer up front, my tires are Nitto 305/55/20's and my F: 38.5 and R: 40.5, I kind of like the 2 inch of rake for when I haul a payload. I also am limited to 4 more inches of height from current set up or she won't fit into my garage

I for one am really happy I got the 4" with the Bilstein's because when I initially installed it I had them at 0 and had 2" of rake. If I got the 6 and had the same results, and leveled it out, 35s wouldn't look right lol. But if you want 2" of rake, maybe a 4" w/o the Bilstein's? Here's just my 4" on 305/70R17

 

[R.L.K.]

Damn that truck looks nice

 

[ram1500pete]

Very nice looking man.

 

[Juvenator93]

Thanks guys! Liked this setup, but wanted to be level on 35s

Yeah that does look nice, I will show a pic of mine as it sits now (that was in my slanted driveway), I am thinking of going up to 275/65/20 and I would okay with less than a 2" rake, 1 or 1.5 especially if I go up to that tire size.

 

[Juvenator93]

I have 3/4" rake with my Bilstein's @ 1.4, at .7 you should be right around 1-1.5. Truck looks great by the way!

Thank you, so with the superlift Kit you purchased was it the 4" front and 3" rear (Kit # K119B) ? After speaking with them, they still have them on some kind of sale $1187
