Bils set at 2.1, SPMaxx long front endlinks, Mevotech TTX UCAs, rear has Core4x4 endlinks (Tier-1) and bils 5100 shocks. More parts inbound, lol. Shoes are Dirt Life Ironman 20x10 -19mm offset wrapped in Atturo Trailblade XTs 33x12.50 LT (Load-E). Disregard the rear bumper, haven't gotten around to painting it like I did the front. Project 'Sentinal' is coming along nicely tho.

Front set at 2.1 and the rear stock. Has about an inch of rake but will eventually go icon to get the perfect level stance I’m looking for.

Looks good! Interesting you still have that much rake after going 2.1 on the front. I'm at 2.1 for a year now and I checked last weekend and I'm actually a hair nose high. Then again when I look arlt yours my 2.1 front looks a bit higher than yours. Maybe its to do with year or truck version ( 2018 crew cab).

My measurements are:

FL 39.25
FR 39.25
RL 38.5 +1.5”
RR 39 +1”

The 2nd set of numbers indicate the spacer size I plan to go with. Difference of .5" between left & right to address the Ram lean.

That is interesting. My driveway isn't level so its kind of exaggerated in that picture but on a flat surface you can still see it, or at least I can. I thought about going to the stage 2 icon kit but I feel like the rear spring that lifts the back would still give me a rake with the front icon coilovers set at max(which I rather not do). Another possibility is the Carli rear springs that are only a 1/4"-1/2" lift.

2.8" up front with bilstein b12 rear springs on 285/50r22

Got an update with the Zone 1.5” body lift installed now, still with the 5100s set at 2.8. Just need more tire and I’m set.

And the SuspensionMaxx SML1300L sway bar endlinks are the perfect compliment up front to a leveled truck.

I’ve been toying with the idea of that same body lift... looks great! What size tires now ?

The Zone body lift only tricky part was doing the rear with the spare tire and rear bumper setup. The biggest issue I had was redesigning my tow hook brackets to work with the BL, but I love a challenge and got everything to work together. Let me know if you need any tips or advice.

Cooper Discoverer ATP 275/65/R20 (34.1x11.4”) on OEM 20x9s. I’m using Supreme Suspension 1.5” wheel spacers so my offset is around -19.

I’ll add additional pics for anyone that needs em.

Id like to see how ya did your tow hooks please

Added Eibach front springs and 3/4" Jeep TJ spring spacer in the rear. After all my years of living with Bilstein 5100s on my truck I will say I would never recommend 5100s without Eibach springs. My last few Rams were strut type front suspension , one set at 2.1 and two were 1.4 with preloaded OE springs . None rode as good as this one nor as tall. These are set at 0 lift and gave me about 2.5" of lift and none have bee as nice riding as this combo. I will not recommend Bilstein 5100's without installing Eibach springs on them . No comparison in the ride. .
