Leveling Kit

[Rondog Racing]

Just bought my first Ram and want to but a leveling kit on it but I have never done lifted or lowered a truck before, is this hard to do? what are good kits to get for a 2016 Ram 1500?

Watching, in the same boat. I want to clear 35s.

Bilsteins all the way! I used 2.8 setting in the front and ICON 1.5” coils in the rear. Could easily clear 35’s, but went conservative with 34’s.

on stock wheels, you might need a wheel spacer to clean 35s. The bils level is what a LOT of folks round here do the level the truck, me included.

Just the Bilstein 5100s set at 2.8 and if you really need just a touch of rake back a 3/4 or 1 inch rear spacer. A good portion of us here can clear 35s with that setup, but if you want an absolute guarantee to fit 35s get a body lift. The Zone 1.5" seems to be the most popular and only hits your wallet for about $135 and can be done in your driveway with the right tools, a buddy or 2 and 12 pack.

I need to make a correction, that's the Bilsteins in combination with the body lift. So all in all around $320 for shocks and body lift for essentially the look of a 4" lift. Again, the greatest savings is being able to do the work yourself.

After doing my Bilsteins up front I was only out an extra $75 for the alignment, so about $180 for 2x Bilsteing 5100 shocks, $135 for the Zone 1.5" body lift and around $75 for the front end alignment is roughly about $400. Seems a good deal to me for (the look of) a 4" lift (actual is only 2.8" level up front) and being able to easily fit 35" tires.

So the Bils & the Zone? Still not bad compared to those other lifts I’ve seen.

yup- it's in my signature. Bils at 2.8, rear spacer, then zone 1.5" body lift.
