What height are you planning to set them at?Ordered my Bilsteins and mevotech upper control arms today. Excited for them to come in I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile now. Got my Bilsteins for $100.97 each didn’t seem like to bad of a deal. All together I spent just under $300 for everything

I have mine set at 2.8 and I love it! I also got Icon 1.5” rear coils so I wouldn’t be nose high. There’s a slight rake but nothing like it was when it was stock suspension.I think I’m going to go with 2.8

Didn’t know there was a difference. What’s the height difference on an outdoorsman compared to a regular 4wd?I have a 2011 Outdoorsman that has Firestone Ride Rite load leveling air bags in the rear. So my truck already sits higher then other stock rams just because it’s an Outdoorsman. My front struts are shot so what better time to switch over

Alright doods!! Just installed 1.5" zone body lift (good lord that took me all day!), have all 4 Bilstein 5100's here and bout to do the install tomorrow. I already had a level lift with 2.5" spacer up front put upper AND lower spacers on my rear coils for maximum rear height because I HATE leveled trucks....Soon as you haul anything it's all saggy.
Obviously I'll remove the front spacer before installing the 5100 and set the front at 2.8"
