like is straight across bad because the axle could come out of the transfer case. or is a more acute angle bad?

Z, did you do anything with the UCAs, or are they stock?

I priced it out with Mevo UCSa and it's about $650 in parts. $110 less if I don't touch the UCAs

Did you have to do any cutting? I watched the video on a 4" lift, and they had to cut stuff and add brackets.

did you do them as 2 separate projects- level, then lift, or together?

Bilstein 5100's and 35 Toyos on 20's

Did all the work myself

My '09 Ram needed some major TLC so I installed Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. The front's are adjustable and set to 2.8" but it lifted it a solid 3". The rear has 2.5" spacers on the coils (top and bottom of spring). I then added a 1.5" Zone body lift for a total of roughly 4.5" of final lift.

Toyo 35x12.50 Open Country Mt's on 20x10 Cali Offroad Distorted's

ZERO scrubbing whatsoever and the ride is fantastic with the new shocks and struts.

Here's the link to CUSTOM OFFSETS page I have all my pics and a video

I just wanna say Custom Offsets I had randomly come across googling tires and man that site is the best idea. Everyone lists what they have installed as far as lift and width of rim with what backspacing and list any kind of trimming or rubbing or whatnot. Highly recommend.

**QUESTION** I'm finding out that I need about 48 psi up front to get the tires to sit nice on it's tread but the rears seem to want about 32 psi with how light the bed is, otherwise the rears tread wont touch all the way to the edge. What do y'all suggest?

looks awesome! I gotta agree with you about custom offsets. The site was a huge help in deciding which wheel and tire package I went with
