Can shocks alone lift my 4th gen Ram 1500?

So I’m looking into lifting my ram. I’m trying to do it correctly so that I don’t lose my smooth ride.
I keep on reading threads about people stating that they want to get a better lift so they change their struts.
I will be doing the work myself. I’ve seen multiple videos on changing both front and rear suspension components and it seems super easy.
Any opinions would be great.
I have a 2017 ram 1500 sport 5.7 4x4.

Front struts you can buy adjustable struts or coilovers. Talk with @Nick@GotExhaust and he can get you setup. Rear will need springs. I ran a mix of bilstein and eibach with a good ride. Switching slowly to fox now. Anything you go with will be firmer than stock so just bear in mind. Bilstein and eibach both will give you a more controlled feeling for every day driving. this is with the eibach setup sitting at 3” front and their 1” rear

How much lift do you want?

How do you use the truck, do you off road? If so how much and what type of off roading and speeds?

We can get you set up with anything from a leveling kit to a lift with coil overs and everything in between. let me know if you would like a quote or more info on anything. Send me a message when your ready

I definitely don’t want spacers. I’m thinking 4-6 inches. I don’t do any off-roading so basically just for aesthetics. I’m thinking of running 22x12 on 35’s.

Well I would recommend the Zone lifts. You can go with Zone lift, with the Fox rear shocks options. You can either re-use the front struts or upgrade them to Fox 2.0 coil overs or go with full length Fox 2.5 coil overs.

Message me if you would like a quote on anything.
