Got myself this 2013 1500 sport 5.7 with all the goodies... including the air ride. I'm starting to hate the aor suspension, even though it's an amazing system and works really well for what it's designed gor but now that I'm considering lifting it I've realized I'll probably have to pull it all out.. Anyone have any suggestions? Spacers or body life or something? And any other good ideas in general for the truck? I'm new to the truck game as I've been more of a classic car guy before.

IMO if you arent trying to go too crazy for a lift height Id go body lift so you can still utilize the air suspension.

I think the most you might be able to do (currently) is a 3" Body Lift, which connected with OffRoad II should get you setting up pretty tall.

Air Suspension is not the right option to have got if you wanted to lift. :-(

Im throwing a leveling kit in mine. I picked up rims but kept the stock tires because I get tires for life. Getting black rims with make your truck look sick! Also tint the windows and get the Vararam Air intake!

Im sure that it would be an absolutely painful amount of work and effort to retrofit a factory air ride system to a non air ride truck. If its even possible, Id imagine it is but I wouldnt want to bother....

Yeah I think I'll just rock a three inch body and hopefully jam some 35s in there. I think I'm going to do some dark brown rims though, I see import guys rock it on black cars and it looks sick. Never seen it on a truck though so I think I want to give it a try

I think a bronze colored semi-matte finish rim would look badass!
Similar to this finish.

I think the bronze would be a very nice look and unique as most guys dont typically go that route!
