Looks great! I’ve got a 2014 and would lie to put airbags at rear cuz tires of that darn squat and people flashing headlights all the time. Would like a little height at front to level off a bit. Any suggestions as to what steps I should take?

Bilsteins + air lift bags in rear.

Maybe 100 miles on them ..... the bad reviews I’ve seen are ppl expecting higher mileage for mt tires ....they were 700 for 4 shipped to me 35 12.5 20s which is unheard of. I live in nj so it’s cold out now and we really haven’t had much weather so I’ll try to update you the best I can . No complaints yet. I drive to and from work with my truck which is 5 min away , it will take about 6 years to put 30k plus on these tires, they will dry rot out before they completely wear out

Hey guys I lifted my truck on the cheapo side and I’m very happy with it. It was a nice project that I did by myself and I really enjoyed it. It is a 2015 ram express 1500 4x4 with a 1.5 zone body lift, bilstein leveling struts up front at the 2.8 setting, rear 5100 bilstein shocks, and 1.5 rear coil spacer. Truck has 20 inch tis wheels wrapped in Ironman mt tires. I was able to do everything around 2600 including the mount and balance and front end alignment. The only thing I may change is the rear spacer to a .75 to take more rake out due to their being a 1.75 inch difference from front to rear height.

Looks good with the rake, but I am old school and don't like leveled trucks. I like that your wheels are still centered. Saw one truck on here with a lift that threw both front and rear wheels off center in the wheelwells and it looks like a third grader built the kit.

I’ve put about 750 on mine, and they seem ok. Was surprised how quiet they are

Yep did the same exact thing to my 2011, except used 1" spacer in the rear.

Love the results and like I have a new truck again!View attachment 188416

I didn’t know that color truck existed. I like that color a lot, what’s the name of it?
Burple, like a Barney ****. It's a sweet color in person.
