Rear cool spacers

[Klaus96]

Look into Tuftruck springs. Some lift your ass end as much as 3" and some (like the 1211 I installed) do not lift at all. My boat used to drop the rear about 3" when I hooked it up and now with the 1211 springs it drops it about 1.5".

Where did you order the rear springs? Maybe I'm retarded but I'm having trouble finding them. And from what I've read; I should have no issues with fitting 35x12.5 a/t with bils maxed out along with a 3/4"-1" rear spacer? Am I missing anything like a certain offset I want to do a 17-18in rim

I think I ordered them from sdtrucksprings.com and I went with a 0 offset to keep my tires flush with the flares. I did a 2.5 level and the truck sits pretty level with the 1211 springs. I was told the 1211's would kick my ass end up about a 1/2 inch, but they didn't.

If you go with a different model number of spring make sure you call and ask TufTruck how much your ass will raise. Some of the springs camper guys use raise em as much as 3"....

I've heard the TufTruck springs are pretty harsh with the bed empty. I love the stock coils! They are so smooth on the road, thats why I went with a spacer instead of replacing the springs.

Personally, I went with Bils at 2.8 on the front, and TGC 3/4" rear coil poly spacers. It gives me about 1" rake from front to back. That allows me to fit 34" Toyo AT2s (285/75 R17) with zero issue.

I also opted for these airbags from Timber Grove: 09'-15' RAM 1500

They have a 4000lb capacity, and unlike other airbags, they bolt directly to the existing bump stop cups with zero drilling, cutting, or grinding. I ride around unloaded with them at about 6-7 PSI and the ride is not stiff at all.

Some springs can be, but the 1211's are not. They make a number of different models. Airbags were my first consideration, but didn't want to depend on a pneumatic system.
