Hey y’all, new to the forum. Feel free to redirect me if I am posting in the wrong location. I am in search of a 7 inch suspension lift for my 2013 Ram 1500 quadcab 4x4. I see MaxTrac makes a 7 inch lift. However it only shows them for 2wd. Anyone know if there is one out there for my truck? Would even consider a 6.5” if anyone knows of one. Thanks!

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think they make one. Best route is do 6” lift with Bils, UCAs, and spacer or 5” rear coils from zone in the rear.

Yes, IIRC, 6” Suspension from Zone, BDS, Rough Country, Superlift, ProComp, etc. Then Billstein 5100s or Fox 2.0 adjustable struts up front, and 5” coils plus spacers (TCG, etc) in the back. Alternatively to spacers in back with struts in front, Zone and others make a 1-1.5” body lift you can slap on. Both these scenarios would get you to 7” lift.

As stated above get the Zone or BDS 6” lift with 5” rear coils, add adjustable Bilstein struts up front for an additional 2.1” - 2.8”, this will give you approx 8” up front and 5” rear so you’ll be sitting level and clear 37’s with ease.

Here’s mine at 8” lift

Man y’all are good. I know nothing about suspension. I’m more of a motor and trans kinda guy. Thanks for all the input!

The 2WD trucks can get 7” of lift because they don’t have the front differential to deal with if I am not mistaken. Like others have said, combos are the only way to achieve more than 6.

I recall a posting I had years ago that I concocted a way to get roughly 16” of lift... dunno if anyone ever tried it though

Rcx 6" lift.
Bilsteins at 2.8"
Maxtrac 2" rear springs
5" PA body lift
40" tires.

Isn't the 5" pa body lift a 3" body lift with a leveling kit? I've never seen 5" body lift pucks.

After looking through their kits yesterday I believe that is correct. So you can achieve 14” of lift.. which is still pretty Effing large haha
