@buddy guy 2.1 up front and then added a 1” coil spacer in rear, Bilstein 5100 and Hellwig sway bar to the rear. About 3/4-1” of rake to the front now. It really depends on the truck. Mine is a 6’4 bed crew cab, so its the longest 1500 and prob the heaviest hemi truck. A 5’7 bed crew cab may naturally sit a tad higher stock. Maybe...

i have the 2" rancho level struts. this is my second pair as the first set lasted over 100k miles.
i like because they r ready to install, NO SPRING SWAP. and they are inexpensive and super easy and quick to install. they r 9 way adjustable for firmness of ride as well and u can definitely tell the difference between opposing settings
