hey guys, so my ram, with this new bumper, looks weird and i think a little bit more of a lift would help. i do have 1.5 spacers that will go on to widen it out some which, in my opinion, would help it out too. tires are a little on the small side and i do plan on going bigger with those too. I have bil5100s up fron set at 2.1 ( i believe i set them at). so my question(s), should i just run a spacer for an extra inch and add a spring for the rear to give me that slight rake again? is that even possible?

been reading more and more and it seems like i need to stay away from spacers to keep a smooth and comfortable ride. also noticed some lift kits i have to cut braces and supports and im not trying to do that.

So you have Bilsteins at 2.1" added a heavy front bumper? and now the front sits a little low ?, why not just set them at the 2.8" ? or if the bumper is heavy, then consider Eibach 2.75" srprings with the billies set at 0.7

had the 5100s on before i moved. i just moved to las vegas. the front bumper was added because of other drivers. the bumper makes the front end look weird becasue of its size. im hoping lifting it up and widening it out a bit will offset that.
