I want more! lift that is

[thebluebeast]

Does anyone offer a kit bigger than 6" for the 2011 1500 rams? I've looked everywhere and all I can find is a 6" which is what I have + a 3" body lift. I would like to add 2" to my suspension and another 1" -2" to the body for a total of 12"-13" lift. Guy I talked to at zone said that my 9" is about max I can get away with. ..I know I've seen rams lifted higher than mine

You can add Bilstein 5100 adjustable struts to the front end to gain another 2.8" of lift. That will put you at approx. 8.3" of total lift (most 6" kits are actually only 5.5" of lift). You'll want to add a rear coil spacer and longer rear shocks as well to get the truck sitting back up to level.
From there you can add a body lift if you want to. But you'll be maxing out at 11.3" of lift with a 3" body lift, not 12" or 13".

Full throttle suspension has an 8" listed on their website but apparently it is only a "demo store". Suspension Lift Kits, Leveling Kits, Body Lifts, Shocks, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, Hummer, Off-Road Trucks - 8" LIFT KITS - 2009-2011 RAM 1500 - RAM 1500 - DODGE - LIFT KITS Full Throttle Suspension You may want to call them and see if they actually offer one. Let us know if you do.

Brandon I'm I'm same boat...1500 6" lift with 3" body and want more lift. Not sure why u say longer shocks as I believe a handful are running the bils at 2.1 and 2.8 with a hbs or the 1.5-1.75 rear spacer under the coil. What's the reason for different rear shocks and what would they be

It's going to partially depend on the shocks you have on the truck. But once you start adding more than 1" of lift to the back end you are moving the shock out of the length it's designed to ride in. On some shocks this won't really make a difference. On some it definitely will. Plus you run the risk of overextending the shocks if you're going over any big bumps or offroading. That will blow them out in no time.

Thank you brandon..... I'm wanting a little more lift and was told I'd be just fine with the bils at 2.1 and a 1.5 rear spacer. I guess my thought and question is will that even make a difference in height to the the eyeball? 2.8 causes too many issues and I have enough problems lol

Thanks brandon for the help

I already have a 3" body lift on top of the 6"zone susp. lift. So just by going to the bilsteins adj. shocks I can gain an additional 2.8" lift? Do they offer a kit that has everything included by chance? I was looking around on the web and found bilstein # BIL24-187367 that comes up as the ride height adjustable front shocks for my truck. 4wheelparts.com had them for just under 91.00 each...this a good price?
Thanks for the help!

Yes that is correct. I didn't double check the part number but that sounds like the right one. 4wheelparts is good for checking the fitment as you actually enter your vehicle information so I'm sure they're the right ones. $91.00 each is a good price but I'd check to see if they have them in stock. I've heard there's issues with them being on backorder.
You'll also want to look at rear coil spacers to bring the back end up. I'd recommend Top Gun Customz.
