Thinking about a 4" lift

[Mbrigh3]

I am going to put it on my 14 Ram 1500 with the stock 33" tires and 20" wheels. I currently Have the Bilstein shocks set at 2.1 in the front. SO what Rough Country kit would you recommend? ( I am going rough country because I am on a budget).

Slightly concerned I may be to tall for my garage with the lift but she fits with the level so [emoji2369][emoji23]

Also concerned it will look stupid on the stock tire wheel set up.

IF you think I should stay just leveled speak up!

I have a Rough Country 4” lift on my 2013 1500 Sport Crew Cab and it fits height wise by inches and I have 17” wheels with 35” BF Goodrich AT KO2 tires. I love the ride and definitely recommend the kicker braces to help the ride.

i think having the level with tires that have an aggressive looking side profile are awesome! I like my level and the funny thing is my right knee is giving me a lot of issues that aren't going to get any better (old enough for osteoarthritis, not old enough for another 8 years for kneed replacement surgery) that 2 inch front level made the world of difference in how hard it is to get out of my truck, even with steps. the other thing..and i know it may seem silly, but pardon my OCD.. it's easy to get into the habit of sliding out of the truck to get out. I think over time that will wear out the cloth cover of my seat. so now i'm trying to learn the habit of lifting myself up as i get out.

the pains of leveling/lifting a truck, is real.

I've got the ReadyLift 4" kit on my truck with 275/65/20 Cooper STT Pros. Those tires spec out to be a 34" tire. I think it looks great!! Once these tires run their course and are ready to be replaced, I'll probably step up to 295/65 in the same tire. Here's what mine looks like with the lift.

A small lift on these trucks look great. I say lift it! Let us know if we can help. We offer many brands like Zone, Ready Lift, Super Lift, Fabtech, etc...Message me for a quote

If your on a budget and you dont offroad I'd look at the ready lift. I'm about to go to a 4" myself but if clearance is a issue you can do what I did. Moto fab 3" in the front 2" in rear. I also put on RC 3" upper control arms. If i were staying like this i would throw on maxx suspension ext sway bar links but it's not a must. If I would buy them my all in cost would be 500 and livable angles. My angles are livable now but my links are pretty cocked .

Also for what it is worth I have seen some 4" lifts on 33s that look goofy. Imho you need at least a 12wide and a 33x12.5 on a 4". I could clear 35x12.5 easily on my set up now. My only reason to go that 1 more inch is because I'll be running 14 wide wheels but my purpose and taste is a lot different than most. Check out customoffsets.com they are quite a few 4" running 33s and you'll see some look really good then some look like they skip leg day. I think it may be from what I hear rams can vary between 1-3" of rake stock. So if you dont pay attention to that and just buy what ever I think is why some look so weird idk just a theory. Imo my height on a stock wheel is the most I would go.

Which 4” lift are you looking at?

TY!

 

[Graygoose]

Lift it Mine barely fits, and I mean barely, but does on 35's

Looking at the zone. Its basically a bds but much cheaper. If I decide to go 6" it will be bds's coil over kit but I will only do that if I decide to go full show build. From what I have heard and read zone seems to be best bang for buck as far as ride quality for the price and component.

TY!!!

One thing I would like if we do go with a 4” lift vs level/rear spacers is the brackets to make sure the rear suspension is correct. It seems some 4” lifts do not include these parts.

If I had to decide today, it would be either the zone or superlift.

I actually agree with you. That's why I just did the 2.1 level and added all terrains to the stock 33s. If I do the 4" lift I know I'm gonna want the 35"s. Another reason why I may just keep it level until my next truck!
