    Loaded Strut Option on Zone 6 Inch Lift

    Never really posted much on here, but lots of good info, thanks for that. Question: Anyone have experience with the loaded Strut option on the 6 inch Zone lift for fifth gen Ram 1500's (DT10)? I assume this eliminates the Strut spacer. How's the ride? Any experience or input? Thanks!

    Got a 2019 Ram BTS 4x4 99k miles. Eibach shocks all around and 2 inch eibach lift springs up front. For about 9 months I've had this knocking noise up front. I think from the driver side.

    2/4.5 or 3/5 kit?

    I’m planning on dropping it already at least 2/4.5 but would like just a tad more if there isn’t too much rubbing. The long term wheels that I’ll run are 22x10 on 305/45 nittos or toyos.
