Suggestions for lift/level

[mrmcga20]

Hello all,
I was looking for some recommendations, I’m in the process of up-sizing my tires on my 2018 ram 1500 and trying to decide which route to go. Currently have 270/60R20’s and am going to upgrade them to 275/65R20 Nitto trail grapplers
I don’t really wanna put spacers on, so the main thought is going with a 4 inch lift from either BDS or Rough Country, but I’m curious if I could get away with level spacers or some raised bilsteins?

BDS

Sure

Rough Country

No

level spacers

No

raised bilsteins

Sure

Do some looking using the search bar. When it comes to lifts you 100% get what you pay for. Not sure about levels but a good lift will be in the $2k neighborhood. Anything else will ride bad, have reliability concerns, or both.

Rust country, Fucccccccccccccccccccck No!
Sapcers , Fuccccccccccccccccccck no x1000
5100s for pavement princesses, 6112s for Off-roaders
BDS is a solid choice and dont forget the Core 4x4 UCAs if you want to actually align the truck properly.

I am running 275/65/20s on my truck

I went with a 2" strut preload spacer on the fronts (the strut spacer that compresses the spring, not just lengthens the assembly) and an extra 1/2" lift with a strut shim.

In the back I have a 1.5" lift

Overall super happy with my setup. Had my shocks been worn I would have done something else. When they eventually blow I might change my mind.

For example:

When I bought my truck used in 2018, the previous owner had 275/65/20 tires on there with no lift. I put a 4” Readylift SST lift on the truck and upsized the tires to 295/65/20. I think the 295s fill out the wheel well a lot better than the 275s on a 4” lift without looking stuffed. Just my opinion

To best answer your question, how do you use your RAM? Any towing/hauling, off roading( if so what terrains and speeds)

Definitely stay away from ROUGH country and spacers.
