What lift kit is better for a highway/ light offroad setup. Still wanting to go to beach campsites and regular. But dont want to spend the pro comp money for reliability. Largest tire size is 35x12.50 r22 or r20.

20 are easier to find when you get a flat

You have different styles of lift. Would you be happy with a Lvl?

Get ready for opinionated answers. Everything has pros and cons, and they are different to different people. My brother would tell you that for 60k miles, he has loved his strut spacers that he paid like $60 for. I wouldn’t consider spacers. I would upgrade actual suspension parts if it will see off-road... but that can be Bilsteins or that can be some high dollar option...

Maybe throw out a budget and get some input on what fits within that figure. Otherwise these threads can often make you even more confused as you learn about the million options there are to accomplish your goals.

I think I've only seen 1 person around here with Zone. But I've heard good things no doubt.

Then you didn’t look very hard ... Yes, Zone is the sister company of BDS ... Both make good stuff ... Had mine for 5 years with no issues

I've looked. Zone, bds, rough country, max trac, pro comp, super lift, ready lift, skyjacker ( mainly for solid axle). I just feel rough country reigns supreme in the lowcountry.

Let me give you this bit of advice. I really haven’t looked at 4” or 6” kits for rams, and there may be no other way around it- But if there is a kit that doesn’t involve cutting up parts of the truck, I would look really hard at it. I am a fan of being able to return to stock or keep it interchangeable. Just my opinion

The mopar 4” lift is the Super lift.

So my wife surprised me with the ready lift 2.5in lift with upper control arm package. A 4in lift would not work since I still give my grandmother rides every once in a while. Also, the price between the "full" cross member style and mopar just leave me no option. 33x12.50r20 over the 24" rims and low profile tire life. I'll take it.

ton of options and great looking set-ups in these threads. Like other's have said your budget may limit your options. i put a 6" RCX lift on with 37x12.5 tires on 20" XD wheels because that's what i could afford. Love this set up and fits my needs for daily driver, beach driving, towing dirt bikes and light off road on the weekends.
