Lifting a Pentastar

[Dcredneck]

hey everyone I have a 2017 ram 1500 v6. I couldn’t pass up the deal I got on it. I know it’s a v6, but I want to lift it 6 inches with 35s. Is there anyone that has done this? If so could you give me some info on how it’s doing?

I did the 6in BDS lift and 35/11.5/20 tires on mine and the only thing it hurt was mpg. There was a very slight difference in power but you can't hardly feel it. I put a Mopar cold air intake on it and a ported throttle body and boy does it make a huge difference. I then put a pedal commander on and I now have no problem burning some rubber. I couldn't even burn rubber before the lift and 35s so I know that the cold air intake, ported throttle body and pedal commander helped a lot. I used to get 20 to 21 mpg around town and 25 to 28 mpg driving around 63mph on the interstate. If I drove 70 and above my highway mpg was 22-24mpg. With the lift and 35in tires I now get 15.7 mpg around town and 17.6 on the highway no matter how I drive. Do it. You will not regret it but make sure you get a good quality lift.
