No, it may not be exactly true, but it’s pretty damn close ... Close enough for “planning” ... At 0.7” 1.4” and 2.1” that I’ve had my Bils set at, it’s been just about spot on

I know but you always see the examples of...

“Me and my buddy both have 6” lifts with 2.1 bils...why does his sit almost an inch higher than mine?”

I think those examples even though they’re smaller samples of the Ram population throw enough doubt in some people’s minds who haven’t lifted their trucks before to want to ask

Did his sit 1” higher before you lifted ?

I just noticed you're 2wd. I don't know how the suspension differs on a 2wd vs 4wd. I just can't see a 7" lift still fitting in my garage.
Yeah from what I understand 2wds sit lower than 4x4s ... and remember tires aren't always true to size...

when I changed my speedo to match tires, I had to set it to 33.75. My tires with no weight are 34.6 diameter.

Yup, they all lose about 3/4" to 1", 37's are about 36.5 aired up but not on the truck, add the truck weight the tires are about 35-1/2 to 35-3/4

I was just pointing out I understand all tires are not as advertised once on the truck
