$10k, wow! I dont think I could justify it to my wife though. Must be a nice kit no doubt.

Just me, if I spent that kinda money it would be lifting a diesel.

I talked to them on the phone bout the 10inch kit and he even told me there 8 inch is the same as there 6 only different preload spacers but there 10 is a full 10-12 with there own coilovers and powder coated your personal color they make there own shocks and coilovers and do powder coating on house just need to see who runs them and if the ride quality and durability is good

I believe the rear coil spacers are 1 to 2 inches taller on the 8” vs 6” lift.

I’m thinking they have 2 inch rear spacers but nothing changes in the front at all from what I gather

Yikes!!! For that price I rather install a BDS 6” kit with 5” rear coil, add Zone UCA’s with 2.8 Bilsteins up front and Bilsteins in the rear, add the Procomp rear control arm drop down brackets with Core 4x4 arms, add a 3” PA body lift, powder coat all brackets, spindles, coil springs, UCA’s and rear control arms in red and add red shock boots. Finally, finish it off with a set of 38” Super Swamper SSR’s mounted on 20x10 wheels. That would be my ideal ride in an all blacked out Ram and wheels with the red highlights in the suspension.

I don’t think I could go any higher than that. Those are 38”x15.50 and they look small on that truck. LOL

Here are some pics of what the red powder coating could look like on the suspension parts:

Honestly, if money was no issue, I would buy a Ram 2500 Diesel and put on a BDS 8” 4 Link Suspension kit. I have owned a 5.9 Cummins and (3) 1500 Rams and prefered the more heavy duty 2500 for towing. If your set on a 1500, I would go with all the parts I mentioned earlier. With money not an issue, I would even upgrade to the Fox coilovers and shocks. I would even try to find a set of Kore high angle CVs. With that said, you would have all top notch quality parts. With the FTS kit, your paying crazy amount of money, and working with the unknowns. What is there actual quality? How does their kit ride? How is their customer service if you have a problem?

Here are some pics of the Kore high angle CV’s. I heard they worked great on the 4th gens and eliminated the vibration you might get with steep angles. I’m not sure if Kore still sells them by themselves anymore? Again money not an issue, these would be a must have.

RCV is also making CV shafts for us as well. It's not on their website yet but Autoedit Jason on youtube has a set on his truck that's leveled on 37's.

Just to kinda give an idea about them... they are guaranteed up to a 40 inch tire with a lifetime guarantee.

Goodluck finding the Kore stuff. Very hard, if not impossible, to get that stuff
