Recommendations before I make lift purchase

[Curlyp]

Hey all! I hope everyone is doing well. It’s been several years since I posted on the forums - life tends to take over!

I am looking to purchase a 6” suspension lift kit in the next couple of days. I’ve wanted to do this when I first purchased my truck, but I didn’t have the extra founds at the time. I currently have Bilsteins 5100 set at 2.8 on the front for a level. I am running 35” Toyo Open Country R/T (35x12.50r20LT) on 20x9 0 offset Cali Offroad Obnoxious wheels.

I’m not really sure which lift kit to go with. I’m looking at Zone, BDS, and Superlift. I was Initially thinking Superlift (since they make the mopar lifts) and the dealership is installing the lift for me (plus I have the Maxcare lifetime warranty).

I see others run a lot of Zone and BDS. I know everyone’s opinion will be different, but I would like some feedback.

In addition to the lift, should I replace the UCAs? What type of shocks should I run in the rear?

Lastly, is the 0 offset okay with a 6” lift?

Thanks!

I did the super lift with the bils. I like it rides nice with the bils. I took the preload spacer out and set bils at 2.5. I have 24x14s and 35s. I get a tiny rub at 1 full turn anything past that or before that nothing I barely touch the lip on the bumper hasn't even work paint if in 15k miles.

Also as for uca I used RC tubular arms for the 3-6 in lifts works good. I run bils in the rear as well

Thanks for the recommendation. Your truck looks nice. Since I have bills in the front would it be best to go with them in the rear or are the Zone Adventure fox shocks good?

I've used fox in the past not on this truck but I like them. The bils do really well for a on the road driver though

BDS is the best lift hands down.

The Superlift is good, but the included endlink extetions are absolute trash so youll need either Maxx endlink or just do what I did and fab some up.

Ok, thank you. My truck is more of a road warrior! She’ll get dirty, but I don’t climb rocks or drive off road. By the way, I’m in Ohio as well.

I did Zone on mine. 6", and a 3" body. I have no rubbing at full turn. I went with kings, and my fronts are adjusted for one additional inch of lift on the coil overs, showing about 8 or 9 threads. I'm running 37" tires, -12 offset on 17"x9" wheels

I went zone 6 inch lift and have no regrets... Zone is BDS sister company. I went with upgraded rear Fox shocks and upper a arms. The ride is great on road. She's a street Queen so I can't say whether it would be nice off road. I'm running 325/50r22 -44 offset. Tires are 13.25 wide so I do get a little rubbing at full turn.

I'm in liberty township... 30 minutes south of Dayton

Very nice. I like the look.

I went with the 6” Superlift and upgraded the rear shocks to the Bilsteins 5100. The only reason I didn’t go with zone was because I could not go with the Bilsteins in the rear. [mention]NickGotExhaust [/mention] mentioned the coils are made specifically to go with the Fox adventure series shocks. Also, I thought it might look odd to have rear Fox shocks and Bilsteins up front.

I also am upgrading the UCA’s with the Zone. I have the UCAs, now I’m just waiting on Superlift to ship my lift kit!

This is my baby with Bilsteins in the front.

Just got my Zone UCAs today thru Nick. Bringing them to lift shop to get them powder coated to match truck.

Don't want to barge in, but I have recently acquired a '14 Ram 3500 Limited.

What are your suggestions for a leveling kit? What is the height difference in front & rear on stock suspension?

Thanks in advance.
