Leveling Part Numbers Help Needed for 2016 Ram

[ryan816]

Guys,

I have made the very easy decision to level (sort of) my new 2016 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn. I would actually prefer a slight rake, as I do tow and haul on occasion - I don't like the squatting rear end. The factory rake and stance is horrible though!

The Bilstein 5100's at 2.8" will definitely be the route on the front end. I will also be replacing the UCA's, per recommendations I found searching around.

I can't decide on the rear. As mentioned, a 1" rake is OK with me. I've read that spacers can be noisy and sacrifice ride comfort. The next option looks to be the Icon 1.5" lift springs, but then the 5100's are made to only accommodate 1" lift. If spacers are fine, which is the best to go with?

I'm also having trouble finding these parts for the 2016's, but assume they would be backward compatible with the 2015's? Any recommendations on where to buy? What part numbers should I be looking for?

I've been through every Bilstein thread on this site, otherwise I wouldn't be asking for help.

I'm not here to debate, but I saw next to nothing for the 2016's and nothing definite on rear springs - and if so, which shocks to use? If you can't help, please save you and I both time and refrain from the sarcastic remarks.

I'm just here to participate and want to get the most out of my new truck.

Just copy and paste your question there.. And then the next guy that comes along, wondering the same thing, wont have to read through 100s of threads.

Im not being sarcastic.. Im actually giving you the answers to your questions.

And to be honest... Some would have told you to use the search feature and not given you anything.

The Icon's would be great springs. I would recommend them over a spacer, however a spacer isn't bad. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with those Bilsteins.
