Hi all! So just joined the ram family and got a 2011 sport crew cab, was wondering what you guys think about the 3" rough country body lift. I'm on a college budget so as bad as I want a suspension it's just not in my future. Was thinking about running the 3" with bils in the front at 2.1 no offset and run 275/65/20s

One question that I'd love to have answered is will the body lift and steering extension effect or limit my adjustable steering in the cab? If anyone can talk from experience
Thanks!

I had a level with a 3" PA body lift. No issues at all

Awesome, thinking I'm just gonna go with the 3 inch instead of getting the 1.25 and wishing I went bigger. I was just worried about not being able to adjust the steering wheel for my damn long legs haha! Is there much of a difference between the pa 3 and the rc 3? Rather get the better of the two kits

I honestly didn't even know RC made a 3" body lift. Is that a spacer level/body lift combo?

Most guys on the forum use the PA body lift. Plus going with a 3" doesn't cost you any more money to install, and it's like $100 more than the 1.5 to buy.

It's just a body lift with mounts to move the bumper up, no level included. But I plane on using the bilsteins to get my level. I will look into the performance accessories lift and might go the route.

Well I have to admit to my stupidity, just looked at the 3 incher on the rc website and sure as hell it says performance accessories haha!!!

but I guess my question now goes back to any issues with the adjustable steering?

Are you talking about being able to move the steering wheel up and down? Mine worked fine after the body lift
