Zone 6" with bils maxed on 35's. Daily driven for 5 years. I would say the only things that come to mind aboit being lifted is finding places to park, and using the bed to haul things. Pain in the ass trying to get an aeration machine lifted into the bed. We usually take wifea care downtown when we go just cause its eqsier to manuver and park. Otherwise LOVE driving a RAM and will never have anything else.

P.S. I garage mine under a 7' foot door. No idea how it fits, lol.

How many of you with a 6" use yours as your daily driver?
Mine is my daily driver and I love it! I have been on numerous 5-6 hour road trips and she does great for me. If I use the cruise control and set it around 75-80mph I'll get around 18mpg. But I didn't get a truck for gas mileage... I just love driving it and the way it looks lol. I get groceries, drive to work, haul mulch..dirt.. or whatever, road trips, she goes or I don't go lol.

I have a Zone 6”, have had it for the past 7 years or so. It is my DD and have taken it on many road trips, off-roading, towing, hauling, and just cruising around. Never had an issue. And like everybody says, you don’t buy a Hemi, lift it, put on bigger wheels and rubber to worry about gas mileage. So enjoy it. You won’t regret it.

Gonna be a member here soon too. Have most of my Zone 6” sitting in my garage. Waiting on the front Fox coil overs and some stainless brake lines.

Installed painted fender flares last week and gonna do the grill guard tomorrow.

Only thing left is the lift and a rhino lined bed. Maybe some mud flaps down the road.

I drive my truck pretty much everyday. Drives great even with 37.13.5 on it. Not the best gas mileage but you don’t buy a truck for gas mileage.

2014 Ram 2500 lifted 5" with 37' 13.50R20. Drive it daily and I love it. gets around 10-11 MPG.
I haven't done anything performance to it yet, I used Alpha OBD to correct tire size so my MPG and speedo show closer to true than before.
The only thing you might not like is fuel economy. But you know what they say,
"If your MPG is higher than your lift, you aren't lifted enough" :driver:

9” of lift plus 35/37 intermittently as my daily driver and love it! Fully tuned, 456 gears, fully rebuilt trans, and soon coming first week of April, Cammed with converter. Wouldn’t have it any other way, truck runs great, I’d say better then stock after the gear swap.
