Hello, I have a 2015 ram 1500 with a mopar 4in lift. We bought it with it already installed from the dealship, and it has always had a rake in the front. I’m looking for options in getting rid of the rake and leveling the truck. It has a the factory struts with a 4in strut spacer on top. Would getting a 6in lifted strut fix the problem? I don’t mind it being a bit higher in the front.

Nice looking Ram.

Hows does the back sit when you have a typical load on it?

In most cases, if you raise the front without a rake, once you do have a load in the bed…. you’ll get what’s. Allen out here as the ‘Cali Squat’

Not my taste, but maybe that’s what your looking for?

Thank you! I usually don’t have loads heavy enough to level out the truck. Typically just my detailing supplies in the bed and that’s about it. I’m really going for the leveled look since I really don’t do heavy loading.

Are there spacers in the rear?

If so, go 2” shorter.

Higher in front just looks stupid IMO, what's the use?
Keep it level.

We could set you up with some adjustable struts for the front to level it out. Message me if you would like more info or a quote.

the Mopar lift is just a rebranded Superlift. I added bills 6112s to my lift. I set them at .8

I think it looks great with that tiny bit of rake. Ram trucks look silly to me perfectly level as the hoods make them look nose high. I guess if you don’t use it as a truck, tow and put weight in the bed, close to level will be fine. Not commenting on the lights……

In my opinion I would recommend going with a bigger tire. Your stance is already good. The SUV tires the manufacturer puts in will never allow a lifted truck to look appealing

Yeah I had got the stocks from marketplace and they already came with the tires. I plan on getting 35s soon.

Love the stance you have personally, but yes, its all personal preference.

I think these trucks look great a 4” lift and stock wheels with meaty tires. Post up some pics when you get them installed !

Trucks should not be higher in the front than the rear, it’s not just aesthetically weird, it’s unsafe for steering, handling, braking, and if you put any weight in the bed it can become very unstable when driving.

Not to mention the headlights are probably aimed right in people's retinas now.
