My dealer is installing my RCX 1.25" next wednesday. I supplied the parts they are doing the labour for free (it was a negotiation point I used to accept delivery of the truck after the first two times I picked it up the airbag light was on). My dealer has two 2013's on the lot right now with 3" body lifts

I'm pretty sure you could get full suspension lift installed for 2 grand...

5in Body lift? Ummmm scary

I'm thinking that would include a leveling kit along with the 3" bl

Edit- I take that back. PA has apparently started making 5" BL's for the ram. Not too safe IMO

At my dealer it's a 3" body lift only, no level. They'll get to see the difference next week when mine shows up levelled only to get a smaller lift. The trucks at my dealer also run 35's on stock wheels and apparently no spacers. Considering they are Mickey thompson's with the side biters I have no idea how they aren't rubbing but they say they don't. I should have rolled underneath to see he clearance.

It isn't a 5 inch body lift. It's a 5 inch lift that consists of a 3 inch body lift and a 2 inch leveling kit.

maybe some dealers. But TXKID saw a 5in BL from PA.

Either way 3in BL is max IMO.

On PA's site they have a 5" bl listed with no mention of a level. I might have missed that part but that's just what I saw

Some states don't allow body lifts. And for that price you can get a really nice suspension lift.
