4th gen Question I put a 6" rough country and I have 35's on -44 Posey 20's on. Looking for guys with this exact set up to opine. What is the height you guys have on the truck? I know they dont lift them 6" but it just doesnt look like other trucks. Its shorter. Also looking to put 37's on now and I really dont think they will fit. But everyone says you can. I just get a feeling the shop did a 4" lidt but parts on it are only for the 6. ed0c8c4bc200fc342e61d7249cfac3ba.jpg

Tire height and you front strut height setting make all the difference.

EX:

truck 1 has a 6” lift with the struts set at factory height and 35” tires

truck 2 has a 6” lift with the struts set at 2.1 and 37” tires

truck 2s gonna look a lot higher. Those 2 changes have a big impact

That’s definitely more than a 4”. Here’s a 3” with 35s front fender from ground is 39.5 and rear is 40.5

I have a 6" with 35's/-44 offset and no trimming. I get a fender liner rub at full lock, but you are only doing like 1 mile an hour in that position, so no big deal. With 37's, I am thinking you may not need to trim the fender, but am wondering if you may need to slightly trim the corner edge of the lower plastic valance (air dam) with MT's, at least when they are new with full tread.

You can throw a spacer on too.
Thanks but no spacer. I had 2" spacers before I got the rims. That's why I got the rims for the stance. Just replaced upper control arms and tie rods because of the spacers. In my opinion.

Not a great pic, but that's a 4"/2" lift with 35's. 0 offset. You are definitely taller.

I have a 2015 Ram 1500 with a 3 inch suspension lift with 35s on it. The back sits about 1 inch higher then the front. I want to level the front to the back. What is the best way to do this without moving up in suspension lift kits!?

how was the rear lift achieved? If its a spacer, you could exchange it with a shorter one. Or if it was new springs, you could swap the springs out for slightly shorter ones.
