My review on my Mopar 2” lift.

[DRkNESS]

Ok yes we can agree that 2” isn’t really a lift but for me let’s just say it is ha ha . Now I’m riding on my stock Goodyear tires. I can honestly say I’ve never owned a set of Goodyears so I have no clue as to their quality.

Well after the lift and alignment I can say it rides just like factory still. I think for those looking to add 35” tires they could do it a lot cheaper by just leveling the front. I still have the factory rake and I’m ok with that. There isn’t any more front end noise the usual. Nor am I being flashed because my lights are blinding others.

Now the real question is would I recommend this to someone looking to lift. If they are on a budget no. But if they are looking to do this and keep peace with their dealers, I would say yes. Maybe once BDS comes out with their lifts I’ll start shopping again, but for my current needs, this is just fine.

Every time you post about your truck I keep wanting one! LoL looks awesome, just like your last one!

Did you find those bed decals you were looking for? I still have no luck.

Sadly I had to have them custom made and they will be ready Friday of next week. I was told to order ones for a 2017 off road, but no one had those in stock. Plus it seems decals like that are not very popular around these parts.

I noticed you have the rertrax bed cover....Did you have one on your truck before the 19 Laramie?

 

[DRkNESS]

The one on this is a BakFlip MX4, on my other Ram I had an Undercover one which I LOVED....

I like the looks of whatever it is you have up there by you're 3rd brake light. Does it really do anything or just for looks?

It was solely for looks although they touted the fact your mileage would improve lol.

I have a retrax on the 14 but its not going to fit the 19 they tell me. Yours looks great But I like the remote control.....lol.

Here’s what they look like with the paper still on, by Friday they will be on the truck. It’s a light gray as I’m trying to go with more of a “ ghost “ graphic look.

The tire/wheel combo on the Black Ram anyone?

Definitely interested as well in the details on that black Ram. That thing is beautiful. First real picture of the long-bed that I've seen. I like it.

Truck looks good. 2" is a lift in my books and keeping the rake is a smart choice if you're going to load it or tow with it. When I did my level I ended up lifting the rear as well so when I loaded it it sat level.

I've seen those reverse lights in another truck and really liked the way they look. Who makes them?

 

[DRkNESS]

They were made by Ridgid and well worth the price of admission.

 

[troutspinner]

There is a definitely a market for it though. A lot of guys want to keep peace with the dealer and have a larger tire and tow. Everything has it’s place, right?

I tow a boat often so I don’t think I’ll level this truck like I did the last one. When the boat was on the last one, level was border line but I do still want larger tires down the road when I wear these out.

In your state right now having a little beach vacation with the family.
