I’m confused. Trying to figure out what part of your post is about the Bilstein shocks and/or struts?

After 5 years and thousands of pics, i think we can give a bit of leeway, wouldn't you agree?

Update for my RAM:

I had the rear spacers swapped to an aluminum 1.5” from a poly .75” and I think it looks taller overall and will be much better for hauling or pulling heavier loads.

Bilstein 5100 struts/shocks all four corners.

Front @ 2.75” max w/ billet aluminum 1.5” rear spacers + Mevotech UCA’s.

Other mods:
Oem painted flares, airlift 1000HD, Amp bedstep, Gator roll up tonneau cover, Ballistic 20x10 -19 wheels on 295/60r20 Cooper AT3’s (34x12).

Needless to say it is pretty dirty right now, but I love my setup!

(Our street is pretty sloped from the center, so you’ll see some variance between passenger and driver side being that it is parked near the curb.)

Don't see many Warlocks on here so heres my '19. I added 285/65/R20 KO2s and Billsteins front and rear last summer. The front are set at 2.8" and I added a 1" coil spacer in the rear. I'll probably add wheel spacers at some point to bring the tires flush to the fender flares. Couldn't be happier wth the results!

Looks great man, recently got a 19 classic warlock coming from a lifted 15 that I had bils on.. any chance you have before and after measurements? Or just the current measurements? The rake on my 19 currently is about 3 inches which was a bit higher than my 15 so I was debating going with a rear spacer but yours looks good, was just curious!

Thanks man! I just measured and I have roughly 1.2” of rake. I was considering going with a 1.5” spacer in the rear to add another .5” of rake, and I might in the future, but I definitely don’t mind how it sits now.

Just installed the Bilsteins at all 4 corners. Fronts at 2.1". Perfectly level. I didn't think the ride on the stock components was bad... until I drove with this current setup. This is so much better. Smooth as butter. I love it. IMG_2793[1].JPG

Did you keep the stock front and rear coils or change coils when you put the Bilsteins on? Mine is stock now and rides rough and I’m getting the Bilsteins front and rear but looking at coil options.

IMG_2813.jpg IMG_2813.jpg Bil 1500, 2.1.

Air bags in rear coil springs. 35PSI

Cargo:1000 pounds of mulch and potting soil. ( I weighed it).

The truck still has 5/8 inch of rake. Just about perfect in my eyes.

The truck drove and rode really nice with 1000 pounds on back. 40 PSI cold in the tires.

I love my truck.

OOPS I screwed up the pics. First time ever!

Bilstein 5100 for my front struts set at 0.7". I started with 2.75" rake. I ended up with 1" rake. Had I kept my stock OEM front struts, I would have been closer to 1.7" rake.

First time i've seen that color in a RAM. Love the color, the tires and the stance.

That looks great on your CC LWB! I'm contemplating doing almost the same setup myself.

@jlongjohn , I kept the stock springs as they only have 30K on them and I never tow so ride is still great. Truck won't see much off-road so the stockers are fine.

Just for the hell of it I may try my Eibach springs on my OE struts as I did not mind the stock ride and I have never really liked 5100's on any of my vehicles in the past. I have a little over 2" lift on the lowest groove which is the stock setting so I see no reason the OE would not give me the same amount . I don't know why I never thought of it before .

Another great on/off road weekend in Montana, we took the muddy route up from Plains, MT through Bend Guard Station and up to the Libby Creek gold panning area, then into Libby for some mozzarella sandwiches & cheese soup at Cabinet Mountain Brewing.
