Hi all -

Considering adding a bit of lift to my 1500. Noticed that the heavy duties sit 1-2 inches higher than the 1500, but are not leveled. Or don't appear to be. Can anyone tell me what kind of lift I'd need to achieve that same height and stance? I'm thinking 1.5-2" spacers front and rear should about do it.

About 2" is a good estimate but everyone's truck seems to sit at a slightly different height and rake. I would measure yours on a level surface from ground to center of fender well. I think most stock 2500 measure about 41-41.5 in the rear and about 2-3" lower in front. 2014 2500s that come with factory 20s have 34 inch tires.

My 2014 2500 with rear coils and 295-70-18 sits at 41 in the front and 44 in the rear. Basically a 34.6 in tire over the stock 33.2

And my 2014 1500 with 275/60-20 (33") inch tires sits about 38" front and 41" rear. When I replace the tires I'm going to go to a 295/65-20 (35"), so with a 1.5 inch lift front and rear this should about work out. Most of the additional height is in the tire.
