Lifted 1500

Jvilac84 · Apr 2, 2023

Hey guys, I have a 2018 1500 Sport. I’m looking to get a 6” zone lift and stacking it with a 2.5” level/lift then putting a 3” body in. Un sure what size tires I could fit, I plan to run a 22x14 wheel with -76 offset. Any help or pictures with the same set up would be very great full. Thanks

Body lifts are such a bad idea and stacking lifts is generally not recommended

Is there any other trucks you’re trying to copy,not trying to be rude just curious,not an expert at all.

Never had issues with BL on any of my vehicles. And makes working on your vehicles that much easier when you add 3" of clearance

I know it isn't specific to a RAM, but I put a body lift along with a suspension lift on my 1987 Wrangler. The body lift ended up costing me a transmission. With a shifter that comes through the floor, the added clearance makes the hole line up higher on the stick shift. At least on that era Wrangler, it made it so the throw was being limited by the shifter stick hitting the floor on the sides of the hole, not allowing it to full go into gear. I started noticing problems after a few months when it would start popping out of reverse. At that point I ended up widening the hole a bit but it was too late, reverse and 5th would not stay in gear anymore.

A (properly done) body lift is likely the best way to gain clearance for tires, as it keeps the CG low and has least impact on mechanicals. However it is also generally the most complicated and time consuming. But, the parts are cheap so if you do it yourself and don't mind spending the time it is a great option.

As to the OP, a 10"+ lift is extreme. I would not consider doing it myself - only by a shop that has done (hopefully at least) a few of them before, and getting referrals for them.
