Long story short leveled the truck with bilsteins 5100 @2.1 2 months ago, added 295/65 trail grapplers on black friday and now had a clear sunny "day off " to photoshoot the truck! Here they are...

Nice....They should come from the dealer looking like that imo. Do you have any rub at all with those tires on the stock rims?

Yep they rub at full lock on the upper control arm. New rims are in order the first week of January.

The weather here in south Texas was just a little bit cold and rainy for me the past couple of weeks. I know compared to some of you guys this like summer down here!


Wait a second... I'm posting from an iPhone?

Is that still with just the 2.1" setting? No spacer in the rear or anything right? Doesn't appear so buy figured I'd ask. How much did you net after settling?

Yep its set @ 2.1 and I have the bilstein in the rear as well but you do not gain any height from them. no spacer in the rear

Ill have to measure it tomorrow now with the trail grapplers. Ive noticed that not all rams suspensions are the same.

this was the before the tires

Nice! Looks a bit nose high there. How much rake did you have prior compared to now? Still ride pretty smooth?

that pic was after it was done, and the front actually measured 1/2" lower than the rear. its hard to tell but thats why I chose the 2.1 vs 2.8.

I cant remember what the original rake was, if i remember correctly it raised it 2" or a little under 2"

I love it even more with Trail Grapplers! It feels more solid with the shocks, it takes the bumps like a champ!
