I think rancho was the easiest.

I went with rancho...quite happy.
Not sold on the settings. They all seem the same.

I did Rancho QL struts and Rancho rear shocks as my first level literally a week after getting the truck home. I put around 10k miles on them if i remember correctly. Plug and play nothing to disassemble from your factory struts. I still have those around, they're now my shock backup set. the stockers ended up in the trash and i've never looked back
Tires in the pics were Falken AT3W in 315/70/17 mounted on 17x9 -12 offset wheels. Running high caster courtesy of Zone UCA's. Zero rubbing on or offroad.

Also had my share of fun with them in the dirt. No complaints whatsoever

I’m running bilstein 5100 but have eibach springs as an upgrade over stocks. They work great for my needs. Great on road and good for mild off-roading trails. Not good for high speed off-roading. 6112 is a middle of the road setup that anyone who has them likes them that I’ve heard. As far as I know they are a larger bodied version of the 5100 but with a better setup since it doesn’t use the stock spring and being larger bodied changes the shock characteristics. Anything leveling strut is basically just stock replacements.

Just curious if anyone knows anything about the rough country front leveling struts?

 

[ram1500rsm]

You should get around 2.5" lift with those. plug and play. We have some people around with those as well.
Here is the latest from this week

That's what I have. I have their 2" ones.

Eibach springs on 5100 at stock settings is better ride than 5100's and OE springs on 2.1 for about the same lift. If you have not bought anything yet I'd go Eibach strut and springs

I just did the bilstein 5100 on my 2013 ram about a week ago. Pretty happy with them so far. I did the front and rears. Set the front to 2" to level out.

Just added the Icon Stage 1 to mine. I like it alot. All of the local forests are closed now due to the fires but I will get it in the dirt soon. Here is my before and after.
