Leveling kit for 2016 4wd

[Spritam5105]

Hey yall. Looking to install a leveling kit on my ram. Trying to figure whats actually good out there. I dont want any rake to it(or make it close to level as possible). Been looking at rough country and a few others. Spring compression a must? As ive seen both struts shock and compression come with some. Just dont know if thats an extra cost thing that i dont necessarily need. Thank

Thanks ill look into them. Is there a bad angle on cv joint when installed?

Stop reading anything other than Bilstein 5100.

I must agree with these guys. The bills are probably the best option without spending a crap load of cash. Truck still rides very good and as far as rake goes I have right at an inch with mine set at 2.1.

Today I bought the eibach pro lift

Struts/coils front
Shocks/springs rear

No need for aftermarket UCA from what it looks like. Just based off my research so far. Can lift up to 3.5” front the normal amount is 2.75 or less. Rear gets lifted by one inch. No spacers or anything. I paid about 700 total

Here’s the kit I bought

A few questions......

Are there any pictures of this lift installed? The only pic I saw didn’t look like the truck was all that lifted.

I’m interested in maybe replacing my 5100's, does this setup actually get you 3.5” of lift? Or is it just ran at 2.75” which is basically the same as the 5100's? I want to go higher than the 2.8 I’m at now.

I'm looking at getting this same kit as well and am wondering the same thing. The only picture I've seen here with the kit at 3.5" was on a truck that already had a 6" lift installed. I don't think anyone on here has done the kit at 3.5" to a stock truck that I know of. I would love to see the Eibachs installed at 3.5" on a stock CC so I can see how mine would sit. Still trying to figure out what (if any) rear spacer I would need to keep the truck level or maybe 1/4-1/2" of rake.

When I get these on i will be setting at 3.5. I have a 2014 crew cab big horn 4x4 1500. Already have 35” tires and 20” rims as well

Just installed a readylift 2 inch level. eBay 29 bucks.

Bilstien upfront at 2.8, nothing done to rear, and 295/65-20 on stock wheels.



Again and forever, bilstien only for level. No more questions, close the thread.

I just swapped out 1 1/2" leveling pucks in the front for Bils set at 2.8. I currently have 295/60 - 20 Terra Grappler MTs but need new tires and would like to go to 295/65 - 20 on my stock wheels. Are you having any rubbing? If so, how bad? Mine currently rub slightly on my swaybar on one side.

On my 2018 on stock wheels it doesn’t rub at all, my 2014 it would rub full lock on the sway bars. Using the same tires as I took them off my 2014 and installed tires on my 2018

I have the EIbach struts on the way with zone UCA I plan on trying to get the full lift out of the struts and will get the bigger coil springs eventually so I will post pictures with the initial setup of struts and UCA I have 35/12.50/20 tires that’s going on my stock rims hopefully all works well

 

[Ecofx86]

where the update on the eibach sport strut lift on 3.5 setting?

 

[novelmike]

Hmm.... depends on your budget. I have $2000 on my front shocks. And I’d bet my truck handles better on and off road better than anyone with 5100’s.
