Lift question.

[Chrisg86]

Is a 2 or 3 inch lift possible? Is it worth it? I want my truck to be a little higher but I dont want to have to use a step stool to get in it. From the pics I've seen 4 inches looks looks higher than I want to go for my truck. Thanks for the help

2/3” is more of a level. You could use Bils up front and set them to 2.5/2.8 and add something like Icon coils in the back for 1/1.5” of rear lift.

Bils can be set to 0.7” 1.4” 2.1” or 2.8” ... Depending on what you chose, and how much rake you want, you can just get a small rear spacer from Hell Bent Steel or Top Gun Customz and not have to change the rear shocks

What did the lift set up cost? I'm good with tires and rims

Checked my Amazon order, $532 for the Rancho kit and $499 for the Zone UCA's.

 

[BOWERSFJ]

Bils and spacers for $270 total ... And you’ll need an alignment either way

Did you guys install yourselves?

You can go to "Lift kits for less" website, to get a general idea of cost/components, for the size/Height lift you want.
https://liftkits4less.com/
They have kits of many different brands.

You can go to Custom Offsets.com to view a large gallery of other vehicles by yr/mk/model, lift/level size, to find the right look that you want. they sell lifts/level kits as well.
https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wheel-offset-gallery

Just to give you some areas to research.

Nope, had my tire shop install ... And then do alignment

Well since the forum standards are calling for lifting on the cheap, why spend more than $50 to lift the truck ? lol
Talking about cheap, $44 + alignment and she'll be up 2", https://www.amazon.com/Leveling-200...=B078RF4KCD&psc=1&refRID=S2HWDEPDA2595NTJD2KP

Go to Bilstein’s website, and you can read why shock tower top spacers are a bad way to lift/level ... There’s a reason why not many around here use em ... A $40 lift is fine for a $400 truck ...

Rough Country offers a very nice bolt on 3” kit that requires no cutting that would look great with some 20s and 35s imo

I was the same way when I got my truck. I went with a leveling kit from MOPAR and then 35 inch tall tires.

I got a question I’m new to the whole lifting leveling concept. I have a 2018 ram, I just leveled the front with a 2 1/2in strut bottem spacer and went with 20’s on 33’s it rides rough now because of the 2 in of shock I lost. I know I need new shocks I just was looking for brands at good prices and what size I will need
