Hey guys. My wife just picked up a '14 Ram Bighorn Crew. This is the first Dodge that I've ever owned (been a Chevy guy all my life.)

I'm wanting to level the front up, but I see soooo many options. What are the best options? Bilstein, Rancho, etc? Not wanting to spend an arm and a leg, but I want the best ride quality possible.

TIA.

Bilstein's are the way to go. They are mono tube and will last a long time. The stock ones are twin tube crap. So, you probably don't want to replace them with more twin tube crap.

Bilsteins and Mevotech UCA's. That's what I plan to do once my warranty is up next summer.

Since you have a 14, look into the ball joint popping issue before you level.

I'm rolling in a 2011, so is there anything that I need to be aware of before I do this ?

Nope. Stick on the Bilsteins and roll.

Mevotech arms from RockAuto.
They were like $92 for the pair and are much beefier than stock.

Do you buy them for the 09-12? Also do they fit with no modifications?

No. 13-14 have a different front end. You have to get them for 13-14.
