Hello I just sold my 2020 Chevy Silverado LTZ and bought a 2020 Classic Ram 1500 2WD. I live in Florida with allot of heat and flat roads. I do 0 off roading. I sold a 2018 Chevy 2500 HD leveled also before that.
I also do 0 towing.
I've spent over 20 hours reading every post I could find on lifted vs leveling. I've leveled many trucks, but never lifted any. On the Dodge 1500 2WD I just can't find allot of options for either.
I ordered a RC 2" leveling kit, than changed my mind to a 4" lift kit. My wife is 5' and cannot get into a high truck. Were both in our early 50's.
My thought was the 2" leveling kit would stiffen up the front end, as they don't give you taller springs, they give you thicker springs. I've read every comment and they all say it really stiffens up the front ends.
So I just ordered the 4" RC lift for for 2WD, my thought was if I keep it on 33's I'll save an inch rather than 35's, and the 4" lift from all the reviews keeps the stock ride which I love. I thought it would also be easier on the UCA angles since it's a drop spindle ?
My question is anyone have measurement's on 33's for a 2WD leveled vs lifted to the bottom of the fenders so I know where it will sit?
Also Leveled I believe I can't go more than 33"x12.5" neg -18 off set right?
4" lifted I can go 33" x 12.5" -24 offset right? I don't want to go any more offset than -24 or -26
Can someone post pics so I can see where their running boards are so I can see if she can get into the truck lifted with a 4" or Leveled.
Please also let me know how you like the ride of the leveled truck or lifted. That is a big concern as I all ready know going to a load E tire is going to kill the ride, I've been down this road before. I wish they made a P or Q rated tires for these sizes.
Thanks !
