Hi. New member to your forum.I have owned 7 different Dodge Rams and presently drive a 2019 BIGHORN 4X4 HEMI.
Looking for some information regarding a 2" front leveling kit. Along with the BEST product. Also I'm wondering what size tires I could up grade to.
I presently have stock. chrome 9" rims with 265/75/20 Cooper ATS3 XLT

Is your truck a new body style or 4th gen body style? Any stock adjustable height replacement strut would be best for a front leveling kit. Bilstein, eibach, fox, rancho. All good. Leveling spacers have been known to cause binding when off-roading from allowing the suspension to droop outside of its intended range of motion and can damage the upper control arms and cv axles so generally we suggest not using spacers up front.

Thank you for the info. I don't do ANY off road driving per say. I do drive in some rough terrain while hunting. However I was just looking for a different appearance especially in height not really width. Kinda like using a 2" leveling kit and upgrading to 295/65/20 on my 9" stock rim. I currently ride on 275/65/20 Cooper AT3 XLT. It is a new gen 2019 Bighorn.

I don't do any off roading except while hunting in some rough terrain. looking for different appearance in height not really width. I have a 2019 Bighorn new gen 4x4 with 9" stock chrome rims along with Cooper 275/65/20 ATS XLT.
Looking to use a 2" leveling kit and hope to upgrade to 295/65/20 ????

Ok so new body style. And yea leveling struts won’t change anything but your ride height. Essentially they are stock struts with added preload to get you to the desired height. There are no adverse effects from leveling struts. Bilstein 5100 and eibach are a great bang for your buck if you can do the work yourself otherwise the fox 2.0 come preassembled for any easier install. I have a 4th gen 2017 with 35s on a leveling kit with bilstein 5100 front struts and rear shocks to match. There are a few other modifications to my suspension as well but essentially I’m lifted 3” up front and 1” in the rear.
