OEM Mopar 2" Lift vs Fox 3" lift vs RC 2" leveling struts

[fltekdiver]

Looking for options on 2019 Ram 1500 2WD Big Horn, small lift or Leveling kit , thinking of going with 33" to 34" to Tires

I recently sold my 2020 ram Classic with a 4-1/2" lift seen here to get better gas mileage and didn't like the ride after the lift with the Load F tires :

Just had the Maxtrac 4.5" lift with 3" coils for rear installed professionally with TIS -26 offset rims with Nitto Graplers 35"x12.5"/R20 Also installed myself AMP Research power running boards, and had to modify the 2" extensions to work with the boards Pics don't show the black RAM emblems...

I see great reviews on the OEM Mopar 2" lift kit, and their newer version seems to get it more level from what I understand . Local Dodge just quoted me $2,039.00 installed
with the fox shocks. It also comes with UCA's which I like

Fox also makes a 3" lift similar that comes with UCA's for about the same price

I also thought about using RC leveling struts and pairing it up with some Zone UCA's to help with the angles

I'm getting 21+ city and 23 highway with the 6CYL Eco engine, and do all city/ highway driving, 0 offroad

I all ready installed the AMP Research power running boards so it's easier at 53 years old to get in and out when I do decide which way to go

Please share your photos and opinions to help me make a good decision

I'm really torn between the leveling struts by RC, and the 2" OEM Mopar lift with fox shock. I really like to keep the ride quality that it has now

Thanks for your help

What are your current measurements? Did your truck come with the off road package? I would look into the Billstein 6112’s if you want a level and better ride.

I had the billstein 5100's on my Chevy to level it and they really firmed up the front end
I always thought they were a good on off road , but for someone who strictly drives on road I never had Fox's, but I've read there a softer ride then the Billstien's?
I havnt considered them because I thought they would give the truck to firm of a ride
I'll look into them
Also I saw there not like the RC where they come assembled strut and shock
Looks like you need a spring compressor for the Billstien 6100's?
Thanks for the suggestion

Yeah the 6112’s are a completely different animal than the 5100’s. Hit up @Nick@GotExhaust he can set you up with the Fox kit. That would be at the top of the list. Bilstein 6112’s second on the list

Thanks for the question; following since I am considering the same aside from me having 4X4 and getting 19mpg

As always great advice by @Quick_Shifter . The Fox 2.0 coil overs have a great ride and should be considered, next up are the 6112's. The 5100's are a good entry level option to level a RAM but should not be considered as an upgrade. They ride a bit firm, too firm for some.
