2.8 Level to a 4" lift - Noticeable? Who Done it? Post!

[17CrewCab1500]

Hey everyone,

I have my 2017 Ram 1500 leveled at the 2.8 with the Bils. I am running 33x12.15x20 wheels and tires. I was thinking that when it came time to do tires - I'd try for 35" tires and a 4" lift..

Has anyone have a picture of their truck leveled and then with a 4" lift? Wanting to see if there is a noticeable difference if worth it.. but then again.. .heck a level was pretty darn noticeable.

or if I am going to go 4".. would 6" just be a better option? I don't want to run larger than 35" tires however.

Run the 4” and bills at 1.4 or 2.1 should be perfect with 35s

I was going to ask about that. Would this eliminate the need for the front spacers on the 4" kit?

I’m runnin Zone 4”F/3”R with Bils at 1.4” Setting ... Perfect for 35’s, and still fits in most parking garages and my 7’ garage door

4/3 kit and 1.4 or 2.1 bills depending on factory rake should be no issues. That’s actually the setup I’ve been eyeballing. No you still need the spacers as the spacers are 4” tall

Yeah I just watched a video on YouTube on the install.

@S0CAL has done it all to his truck, level, then 4" lift now 6" plus bils

Hopefully he'll post up some better comparison pics

Heres a couple threads

@JB1 did a good job of grabbing the right threads. Other than this pic, all I can add is a dirty truck where it sits:

6" Zone, 5" rear coils. Zone UCAs. Bilsteins 6112s maxed, Fox 2.0 shocks in the rear, and sitting on 37" Nitto Ridge Grapplers. (@JB1 you still need to pick these 3s and shocks. ).

Do the Zone 6" it will leave doors open for you in the future, there are plenty of threads on here explain how to mix and match

@hemipwrd your truck is gorgeous, so clean nice job!!

Thanks! Yep 35’s. Almost considered 37’s but these are already on.

Yea, aesthetically the 37’s would probably be better (plenty of room in there imo), but that would require a regear if it was me. It would look more like it did with the smaller lift... I cant decide which one I like better, they both look great!

We can get you set up with either option. Let us know if you have any questions or if you would like a quote on anything

I’m very happy with the 4/3 lift and how it currently sits. Either way definitely give Nick[emoji3516][emoji3516][emoji3516] a shout when you decide. That’s who I got all my stuff though and he’s a great guy to work with.
