So I think I have it narrowed down, thanks to reading these forums and the help of members on here.

I will be getting a 2014 1500 Crew cab 4x4 ecodiesel in mid June. I want a lift that is noticeable but not too big. I think I have decided to go with bilsteins @ 2.1, 1.5" body lift and rear adjustable coil block (1.0, 1.5, 2.0) to get the proper rake once the front end is done. Also prepared to replace the UCAs with Zone if need be. Tires and rims possible down the road, but nothing over 35".

Thoughts?

I stole this photo from another board member (012RAMbo) but this is what our trucks look like with approx. 4" of lift and stock wheels & tires, not too goofy imo.

Bumping this up a bit because I'm about to pull the trigger on the Rough Country level/lift kit...

That picture above looks strikingly similar to my Big Horn CC, at it's stock ride height. Are you sure that's a pic of a lifted Ram? I have that kind of gap in the rear as the truck sits, from factory.

Just curious is all.

Yea, it is lifted 1.5" in the rear on that pic and 4" in the front. But it is also 2wd and I believe they are about an inch or so shorter than a 4wd.

Anyone have any idea what a 09 would look like with 2 inch lift (level kit) and factory
20 inch wheels?

This is true and does look like a truck with maxed bilsteins on 4wd ram

There are many on the net.
Google 2" level kit for a Ram 1500 and you see many from different forums and this one
