My Ram Night with BDS Lifted on 37's
Well guys after months of deliberation, researching parts/lifts/tires/wheels and seeing all the nice setups people have here, I finally decided to lift mine. Just like others here, I went back-n-forth between leveled, 4" or 6", 35's or 37's etc. I have 3.92 gears and decided to just go for it and have the BDS 6" installed with Bilstein 6112 front struts @ 2.60" and the 5" rear coils with Bilstein rear shocks. I dropped the truck off 10/09 and picked it up Friday the 13th. Driving home I was surprised at how well it rides, its so smooth I couldn't believe it. You feel bumps in the roads but it just glides over them like there nothing, kinda hard to explain but I'm very happy with ride comfort.
Fender measurements:
Before: Front 36.75 and Rear 39.5 (2.75 rake)
After: Front and Rear both at 46.25
Parts List:
1. BDS Suspension Lift 6” front with optional 5” rear coils P/N 671H.
2. Zone Offroad Heavy Duty Upper Control Arm kit P/N D2301.
3. Bilstein 6112 60MM front struts with coils set @ 2.60” P/N 47-242548.
4. Bilstein 5100 46MM rear shocks P/N 33-185569 w/superlift 77-80038.
5. KMC XD-832 Wheels 20X9 -12mm offset 5x139.7 Hubcentric Satin Black
6. Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 37X12.50R20 P/N 33337 (76.7 LBS).
I don't have any nice offroad pics or scenic background photos yet, just a few driveway shots but here it is anyway
