RC 4" lift on 2012 1500

[Musclemckeester]

They can color match line x haha
I have seen laramies with color matched linered flares rockers and bunpers and it looks really good of course they are all two tone to start
I wonder how it would look now

Yes, that's true. That's probably what I'm going to do when I get bumper replacements, as well as have my bed color matched line x'd.

Hey Mike do you have a picture of the type of bumpers you have comming to you?

 

[MackTruck49]

I have a question about the 4" RC lift for 2011. In the installation instructions it has you cutting something to install the lower crossmember. I am wondering if that cut make the lift irreversable.
I assume it does, but reason I ask is I have had Jeeps and Tacomas with 6" kits, and although they look great and offroad like crazy, if I decide to sell the vehicle, that is money lost, and/or the ride quality suffers.
I would like to get 4" on my 2012 but not if the kit is going to be permenant or if it takes the decent ride and makes it crappy. Maybe the level and BL is the way to go. I want a lift, but I also want to be able to take it off if I chose to.
Also, does anyone re-gear for 35s or just leave them the same?

Unfortunately, nobody offers replacement gear sets for the 2012's yet. What gears do you have in your truck now?

Truck is looking good.

They are just the standard gears for the 2012 CC Hemi. I don't know what they are off the top of my head.

 

[Mad Cow]

They should have them listed on your window sticker when the truck was new. There are two different options that you could have. I would venture to say 3.93 gears.

 

[quietpeen]

I think most 4th gens come with 3.55 gears...if you have the lsd then you will have the 3.92's

 

[Thor09]

not yet RC or any of them others still have not made a lift for the 12's yet but as soon as they do ill let ya know

I saw this week that BDS has a 6" lift out for the 2012s. It explains what was changed (specifically the front diff bolts) on their website.

 

[Mad Cow]

yeah sorry I ment 3.92 I fat fingered my post above.

Not all depends on the year infact you can get laramies and laramie longhorns with monotone paint now. I personally have monotone laramie with no flares and I have thought about getting the fenders done to match but I am kind of a fan of no flares though unless they are aftermarket. The factory ones just don't do it for me.

I ment to post this the other day but forgot lol.

on the new Rams 3.55 or 3.92 both have lsd now.

Yup you are so right they give the option now and so you guys know I posted how to get info on what gears and options you have if you are not sure or want to know look at the post below.
