4” Lift but need more! Help please

[Gpitty]

Hey Guys! First post and I’m looking for some help. This may possibly be a really stupid question, but I’ve been more into the lowered vehicles for a while.

My Ram is a 2012 1500 Sport Quad Cab. I currently have a 4” RC Suspension lift and a 1.25” body lift and 35’s. The rear end sits too high! I unfortunately can’t go to a 6” suspension lift because I won’t fit in my garage lol. But can I add a spacer just to the front? Wasn’t sure if you could add a spacer with a suspension lift?

The uneven stance is driving me crazy! And since I just did the lift, buying another lift is not an option. Thanks for any help.

You sure can add a spacer (one that goes in the coil spring) though most will suggest adding Bilstein 5100’s. I have a 4” Lift and my Bils set @0.7 but could go up to 1.4” to get the truck perfectly leveled but I like just a touch of rake.

Truck looks really good BTW!

I'm not sure why some guys like leveled trucks? I think it looks better when it's higher in the rear, but that's just my opinion.

That is a sharp looking truck!!

Thanks guys! I just always preferred level. As I was googling this for most of today I found so many different answers that I just got more confused haha.

Some said you couldn’t stack spacers (which I knew) and that a suspension lift already has a spacer which I don’t think is true?

I’d like to go higher with the entire truck, but I like parking inside too!

I'll second that!

Well was your current lift a spacer or longer strut that lifted it?

It was the 4” Rough Country kit. Then I wanted more so I added the Rough country 1.25” body lift. I guess I should’ve done the 3” and just parked outside lol

Well the bigger body lift would still be unlevel. I would just look into getting bilstein adjustable shocks for the front to level it out

Good looking truck, what color is that? Granite?

The photo looks like the contrast was increased, so to me it's hard to see true colors. It does look dark grey though

It’s mineral grey metallic clear coat.

So just adding Bilstein shocks will allow me to adjust the front end??

Yes and does it without spacers. Mine just arrived. Haven't installed them yet but put same ones on my dad's truck to level it. Set to 2.1 and they go up to 2.8

Bils are the way to go I think, and I agree with you OP I think level is the way to go[emoji1360]

I like the rake, but I use my truck as a truck so it's level when I load it. If you put the bils in and raise the front will you still fit in the garage. If you will then go for it. If not it might be better to swap to a smaller spacer in the rear and lower the back to level it out.

I think if I just raise the front a little I’ll still fit in the garage. Or I hope I will! As soon as they’re done building new homes where I live I’ll go higher and park outside, but it’s nothing but a mud pit right now.

I’ll look into the bilsteins then. I had Bilsteins on my lifted Jeep a while ago and they weee always great. I just never knew they had an adjustable one for the Ram! Glad I became a member here.
