Hey guys, back in a Ram since about 2009. I love it. It’s a 2020 with only 13,000 miles. Keep in mind there is warranty on it but what should I do preventively. I want it to last me for a lonnngg time. And also what is the best way to level without losing the fantastic ride this truck has!? IMG_8948.jpeg

Welcome to the forum.

I'd suggest that you keep up with the recommended maintenance schedule found in your owner's manual.

Along with that, make sure your tires are properly inflated, that you change the air filter and cabin filter routinely and just take good care of it while you own it.

I have always used the Rough Country puck level kits and never felt they impacted the ride or steering of my 2500 trucks.

For a 1500 some adjustable struts might be a good way to go. The Bilstein 5100 shocks, while more expensive than a puck lift, are quite popular and will give you some level of adjustment, from 0" to 2.0", that allows for a custom level that fits your needs.

Congrats on the new (to you) truck.

Welcome, good looking Ram!

Your avatar is still showing a 2006, might want to update that area
to reflect your new ride, it will be helpful when folks want to offer
suggestions. ;)

I’d keep it stock for a few thousand miles in case any issues arise, specifically suspension issues. Would be easier to diagnose if stock. I would change oil and air filter and consider changing other fluids. I might also consider a new battery , especially if it still has the original battery. Congrats on the new ride .
