Ha guys I have a question about lifts. I'm not looking for a big lift. I just bought a 2012 ram 1500 4x4. I've noticed that they don't sit as high as they used to so id like to lift it a little. How big do I go? I'm going to stay with the stock rims is 2" high enough or a little higher? I had a 06 ram 2500 diesel that sat perfect stock that's what I'm shooting for. Thx

I would recomend bilstien adjustable shocks
You can decide between, 1.6",2.1" and 2.8" of lift for the front end by changing the spring seat
There are a bunch of guys who run them on here and there trucks stance looks alot like 2500

with stock wheels i would only level the front. Like said above you can use the bilstein adjustable shock, but they are a little expensive or you could go for something like a HBS level kit. You can get 2 or 2.5". Check out our sponsor for either choice, and be sure to get an alignment after you level it.

I would say level first and see if that is what you were looking for, if not happy lifting is next..

Which ever one you go with will make all the difference. You'll love it.

Uh, yes. Your truck is proof of that.

Imho...six inch kit with 35's will be where you want compared to your old truck. I have a 2012 and couldn't be happier with my setup.

I'd just say raise the front with a leveling kit and throw bigger tires on it, unless you're dead set on a small lift kit
