Could use some help, I have a 2021 Warlock 4X4 Crew Cab w/5.7L hemi.
I do not do much off roading, but want to be able to move up from the stock 275 60 20 to either a 285 65 or 35s. Is there a good quality leveling kit that can raise the front to enable this? (1.5"?, 2"?) On my old 2014 Ram it was a pretty simple process to just lift front end with puck like insert and "level" it.
Any guidance or suggestions on how best to do it in most cost effective way.
Not looking to go cheap, but cost effective to be able to put 285s or 35s on the truck
Thanks in advance for any and all help

You either do it correctly or you don't. "Cost" is always a secondary consideration for that goal. "Cost" is a primary consideration when...Well, when cost is the consideration. Seriously...You used the word "quality" and then proceed to say, "Not looking to go cheap, but cost effective"....Nothing personal, but do it right or do it cheap and don't make excuses for doing it cheap other than to say, "I was too cheap to do it right"....Because, that's what happens.

Thanks for stating the correct mindset for the job, understood and agree. What specifically would you purchase for your 2021 Warlock if you wanted to be able to run 285/65s on the truck? (I do some towing of 18' foot boat and a 20' utility trailer, and limited off roading). And would the solution be something a standard garage could easily install? or would a skilled 4 x4 specialty shop be needed?
Thanks

I wouldnt use the pucks myself, id get struts from Rough Country, Bilstien or another brand. Cheaper isnt always better and the struts imo arent THAT expensive.
I dont think you need to lift it to just go to 285's anyways.

Go with either some Eibach struts or Bilstein struts. Message me and we can go over options and pricing.

When you did the Bilsteins did you do the full kit? $770 or did you just do the two struts $300? And did you leave the back as is from factory? What's odd on mine is the wheel well height on drivers side is 3/4 inch lower than on passenger side front. Ever hear of this difference on front right to left? Mine is also a 2021 Warlock ?

The sag on the drive side is pretty common in rams as far as I know. I imagine it is due to the fuel tank being drive side and the weight of the driver on that side causing the sag.

Two struts only all wheels sit at 40 inch height. Everything else remained factory. A couple weeks later I did do the mevotech stock control arms as a peace of mind for ball joint angle. I would check the coil spring seats. See if they are on at the right angles. Had that happen before we put everything back together. Hope that helps.
