When i bought my 120k mile ram it had s 6" lift installed. It looked to be sitting low in the front, so i measured. It was a little over 2.5" lower than the rear. I installed. Front bils and set them at 2.8". Now it sits almost level.
Do you think its possible for front coils to sag 2.5" with 125k? I cslled RC today and they said 2009-2012 ram lift kits did not come with preload spacers. Lets hear your thoughts as too sag

Most “Lifts” have a small amount of rake left in them. Unless specified for “Leveled” I think most kits come this way. I could be wrong.

Come spring time i might either buy new front coil springs or make my own 8" lift. Tired of playing *** *** games.

My friend measured middle of wheel to bottom of fender, here is what he got:
27.5" front
28" rear
But keep in mind my front bils are set at 2.8".
I am willing to accept my 125k front coils are smoked...but not almost 3".

Most 6" kits have a 5" rear lift. My zone kit with 5" coils and bils at 2.1, they truck still has some rake. So i wouldnt be surprised if you have yours at 2.8 with a similair result

I say since you're spending all that money on upgrades, sweet ass paint job, etc. you just need to get yourself a custom monster truck frame and be done with it!!!!! If you're gonna go, go BIG!!!!!
