Currently have a 2015 ram 1500 2wd
-6 inch rough country suspension lift
-3 inch body lift
If I wanted to add like 2 more inches what would be my best bet? I was looking at quick lift struts.
I also just installed Zone off-road UCAs and just realized they sell a kit with 2 inch leveling kit included lol. Let me know though, if not, would a plain ol 2 inch leveling kit be worth it?

Nope ... our 2wds are at their max up front with the 7" that Maxtrac offers .. you have a 6" up front so you can probably get away with a 1" coilspring spacer but everyone I have asked about that has recommended against using any more spacers up front even with good UCAs ....

The only thing we can do now is go to a custom lift company and get them to build you a custom front end lift kit ... I just saw a guy on tiktok with an 18" front end lift kit on a 2wd but hes having issues fabricating other parts for the lift kit as he got it used ..

You never answered if you ever installed the carrier bearing kit on your driveshaft to eliminate that clunking and vibration ....

Gotcha. So you think I should go with an inch coil spacer? And funny u say that, I’ve been looking for that thread all day and still can’t find it. Don’t know what happened honestly. I did not though, you think that’s what could fix?

You might be able to add that 1" spacer up front but honestly "I" personally wouldn't ....

18” ???? Redneck daily driver :favorites37:

I agree with Cheechs’ comments. I’ve the same Maxtrac set-up and works great for me. I’ve tossed around the idea of a slight body lift (1- 1 1/2”) but I don’t want to loose the Use of the tow hooks up front. Still contemplating the idea.

Anything beyond what you have is getting into major reconstruction issues and geometry.

Apologies, but there are SO MANY coil spacer threads, so I jumped in here. I have a 2010 Bighorn I added a 3" spacer on top of the coil in front. Looks perfectly level. I thought it was 3.5", so I installed the 3.5" on the 2017 and now the front is literally 1/2" higher. I don't want to take the spacers out of front because that was an insane disassembly to get the room to put them on top. Looking for the easiest way to get the 1/2" back in the rear. Any help is greatly appreciated.

P.S. I did purchase the bags that go inside the coil but I didn't install them because I assume they will eventually pop, and I may be doing 90 when one or both go.

Thanks In Advance
