Help me figure my lift out ahhhhhh! :)

[13RamExpress]

I have a 2013 Ram 1500 2wd Express I want to do a 7 CST Lift with 20x9 and 35 inch Tires. I know someone here has to have this if not close to the same setup, if you could give me insight as to what exactly I have to purchase that would be great! Offset of wheels, spacers etc....

Im getting mixed readings about shocks? Can I run bilstein 5100s on my 2wd? if so can someone let me know the part #'s

I have 3.55 gears now, can I buy a programmer or something to help with the MPG?

If anyone has this setup can you post pictures also!

Thanks Guys!!

Whats up! If you are wanting the CST lift, Performance Lifts is good place to get the whole bundle. Comes with everything you need. Bilstein makes a 5100 series shock for the 2wd, but it is not adjustable lift like the ones for the 4wd are. They used to be an option with the kit, but maybe they are out at the moment? I also have 3.55 gears with 35" Mickey Thompson P3 tires. I have a Trinity with Hemifever tune and it helps a ton. You will want to get a 20x9 0mm offset, or anything with a negative offset. Don't get a positive offset, could rub depending on what you get. I have the CST 6'' on mine with the Pro Comp 4.5'' rear lift. I would suggest getting the CST rear lift instead. The Pro Comp has a lot of extra parts that really aren't needed, and was a pain to install. I went with BORA 1.75'' adapters for the rear. The spindle lift pushes the front tires out about 1.5''. I got 1.75" so I wouldn't have to trim my rear studs. But if your wheels have a bigger cutout on the backside of the wheel where the studs go, you could get away with 1.5'' adapter without trimming the studs.

Sweet bro thanks for the info! I see you have a foxbox. How do u like it? I am ordering that for 2 12s I have all MB quart mids and highs love them!

And if I cant get ahold of the bilsteins any other shocks I could go with?

I like the foxbox a lot. Of course there is better made stuff for a lot more money. But for pre fab and the price, you cant beat it. I am still running stock shocks on the front, they do fine. Put the longer bilsteins on the back though, and it rides pretty good. I know CST makes front shocks, never really heard any feedback though.

I have a 2wd express I just went with a maxtrac 4.5" for the 35's it gave me more that enough clearance
