Hey All,
Looking to replace tires with 33" or 35" and going to install a leveling kit on my 18 RAM 1500 Tradesman RWD. I'm not very familiar with all this so here goes.
I've been looking forever and was hoping to get some opinions on here of what you all think. Seems like my life would be easier with 4WD, but oh well.
My first thought was to go with this 2 inch leveling kit from RC that comes with leveling coil and struts and then to purchase matching rear struts.
However, I keep reading about Bilstein 5100 being better and its not a drastic price difference. So, would I want to purchase that RC 2 inch leveling coil (minus the RC struts) with these Bilstein front and rear shocks? Would I need anything else in order for this to work? I'm going to have this installed at a shop and want to make sure I bring everything needed so the install and alignment go well.
Oh and if there are better strut options (or a better coil) for not that much more money please let me know! Or if these 5100s are not that much better than the RC N5s.
Thanks in advance for any advise!
