2014 Bilseins at 2.8 and 2 inch rear spacer?

[adorazio]

Hi all, first post here.

I've been looking into leveling my Ram with the Bilstein 5100's set at either 2.1 or 2.8. I also want to lift the rear because I dont want a dead level truck for towing purposes. I've seen that Top Gun Customs sells rear coil spring spacers anywhere from 0.75" to 2.5". Is anyone with a 13+ ram running this setup or something similar? Have you had any ball joint issues with it? I'm trying to get an idea as to how this will look. I'm looking at going to a 285/65/20 or 296/65/20 tire.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Be sure to do some searching/reading on the 14's and ball joint UCA problems with level kits. Also, I've read a couple times, and the tech from Zone confirmed that rear spacers and major towing is not advised. It was the main reason I went with the 3" full coil spring in the rear, instead of the 2" spacer.

Icon makes a set of 1.5" springs you may want to look into for the rear.

No heavy duty towing will be done. This truck won't see anything more than the occasional four wheeler or dirtbike in the bed. I just didnt want to have the rear sag terribly under a light load like I just mentioned. Does anyone know at what rear lift height new shocks are required? Thanks for all of the replies.

Stock rear shocks won't allow much more in height. I'm running rear Bil with Top Gun 1" spacer. The rear Bil allow 1" in increased height.
Fronts are Bil @2.8 with Zone UCA.
My truck is 2014 CCSB 1500 4x4.
