Lifted it today!

[PCT]

I got my lift kit today, it almost seems like the front is higher than the back... Should I have done a 2.0?

It still looks like the back is bit higher than front from your picture.

looks great tho!!

Thats what happens when you level them at the fender height...they will then appear a little low in the back.

Measure your fender heights. I have mine at roughly 3/4”-1” higher in the back (I went with a 1.5” spacer). Looks perfect to me. Not sagging ass, but still looks level.

It's weird I'm little unhappy with it... Maybe it's because first lift j have done independent of tires? (Coming later). It's 44" ground to top of fender for front. And 43" in the rear. So I should have gone with 1.75, or 2". I assumed a leveling kit is a leveling kit.

Well, I guess thats your que to order up a 1-1.5” spacer for the rear haaaaa.

My steering wheel is about 5* to the left, if the steering wheel is dead center, the truck drifts to the right. Is that an alignment issue, or do i need the follow:
"Rough Country Forged Front Adjustable Track Bar (fits) 2014-2020 Ram Truck 2500 | 0-5" Lift | 31004"

Did you adjust the steering wheel after you put the leveling kit on? If not, its pretty simple...just adjust the drag link till the wheel is straight.

That being said, at 2.5” of added height I am sure the truck would benefit from some camber adjustment.

Heres one for under $100...I am not sure about brand/quality though...

Yea, over $200 is silly for a spacer...hell you can nearly get new lift springs for that much.

Big O installed it for me. Gunna take it back, it's free.

I plan on doing full suspension work next year, this was to just get me up and get wheels and tires in. Just hate the boat look.

It's a block of steel, is there much difference in quality from readylift compared to what you posted?

That will have it lookin’ good!

It's not that I'm not happy about then, but the N3 shocks are a bit stiffer than stock, expected, but they are very stiff. Can I expect them to soften over the next few 100/1000 miles?

I noticed when my truck was new the stock shocks rode stiff and got nicer over the 7k miles.

Are you looking to replace the front anti-sway bar with a new Carli or Thuren? I've been reading that either of those will really help your ride. They are softer than stock.

Next year I am going to focus on the entire front suspension. Right now i through spacers in to get wheels and tires in the fall
