im looking to lift my 2019 ram sport new body style wondering if anyone has any input on what brand and stuff they reccomend? theres tones of kits from rough country but ive hear so much trash from people about rough country, my dad ran bilstein b5100 on his 4th gen and loves it but i cant seem to find the same thing for my truck

also i heard that the new body style i dont need high angle ball joints as they have them from stock? might be bs i dunno

im thinking between 2-3 inch lift i only want to run 33s ive had my time with 35s on last truck haha, and i dont really like the idea of just adding a block which is why i was thinking of something like the b5100 but maybe the prebuilt struts from rough country?

also for the rear was wondering if anyone know of some tougher coil springs i could put in place instead of just a block maybe some tougher springs with a lift in them?

i know its a lot of questions im sorry also a first timer here sorry if im in the wrong section, thanks for any help anyone can provide!!!

If only wanting to run 33’s and 2-3” of lift, why not run Bilstein 5100’s or 6112’s ride heights or even the Fox kit? Set to 2.8 you might need new UCA’s to account for the angle but that’s about it. Easy self install, looks great with your tire size choice and will ride awesome! With 33’s I preferred the 2.1 setting.

i like the foxes but thats 1000 just for the shocks still need ucas, rear shocks and rear spacers, im just not sure. debating between just sayin screw it and ordering a spacer kit and getting ucas and rear shocks or going for some bilsteins

theres $100 3/2 lift on amazon made of billet aluminum plus im gonna get $600 or so for ucas and rear shocks or the bilsteins for about $500 the pair plus ucas rear shocks and rear spacers

Full Bilstein ride height 5100 with rears can be found for $500ish. Set them to 2.1 and you won’t need anything else. Quite a few are running them at 2.8 with stock UCA’s. Skip the pucks man.

Then go 2.8 and step up to 35’s. Personally anything over 2 with 33’s leaves way to much wheel well showing.

so if i go with the bilstein b5100 in the front you think i could keep the stock uca's?

and then for the rear if i lifted 2" would i need different shocks? and also does anyone know where i could buy 2" spacers or a 2" taller coil spring all together?

i replied this earlier but it disappeared, anyways so if i run the b5100 will stock ucas be fine or do i need to get high angle ones?

and if i lift the back 2" as i still want a little bit of rake so i dont think 1" will cut it, would i need new shocks for rear or would shocks still be okay?

thanks again for the help :)



oh ofcourse now it shows up -.-

If you are not going to be offroading the stock UCAs will be fine ... I have been running the stock UCAs on my truck with a 7" lift and everything is fine, not one issue at all, but I am going to be getting the new Core 4x4 UCAs when they come out ...
