BILSTEIN 5100 FRONT SHOCK SET FOR 2013-2016 Ram 1500 Tradesman 4WD WITH 0-2.75"

Will these struts be enough to stop the rubbing? I have 2.5" rc leveling kit and it rubs on the plastic rock guard.Resized_20181204_075531_593.jpeg

You can’t combine the two ... Replacing the RC with the Bils only gives you an extra 0.3” in height ... May or may not be enough to stop the rubbing

305/55 are 12” wide so it might work

I have 3ix13.50x20 nitto trail graps on 20x12 -44 V rock wheels and 6" lift. Problem isnt the height, its the width of the wheel and tire.

Bilsteins won't fix the issue. I have 35x12.50 tires and 20x12 -44 wheels, Bilsteins set to the max and the inside of my fenders are tore up from the tire. It actually rubbed so much, that it doesn't rub anymore.

OP, can you show a picture where it rubs ? you're running pretty much same stock height, just wider, but your wheel offset is pushing the tires out a lot.
