Front lift only

[ronbow3]

Just bought a 2025 RAM 1500 Bighorn SST 4X4. Replaced the stock tires with BFG TKO3 275-75-18. want to level suspension. Need to raise the front 2 to 2 1/2 inches. Thinking about Bilsteins on the front only. Any problems with doing a front only? Don't do any off roading except to get to where I hunt.

Bilstein 5100 at 2.1 setting works well. I did not lift the back either. Sometimes I drag the trailer hitch off road. I hate loading and unloading lifted trucks!

Nope. You can raise just the front with no issues.

I recommend keeping the front about 3/4”-1” lower than the rear, when you measure the heights at the wheel well openings. Otherwise they tend to look like they are sagging in the back.

Also a recommendation…jack the front of the truck up with a floor jack to what you think is your desired height increase. Then step back and walk around it looking from different angles. That will help you narrow down what actual height increase you are desiring in the end, before you start tearing stuff apart.

A truly leveled truck (by measurements from the fenders) definitely looks low in the back on a Ram.

The 5100's are a great choice for leveling. Anytime going over 2" of lift/level it is recommended to upgrade to angle correcting UCA's. They will get your front end geometry corrected to help keep your CV's and ball joints from not getting added angles from the level and adding extra stress to them. It also helps with getting your alignment back within spec easier.
