Zone 4" lift questions

[Btenbroeck28]

2012 ram 1500 slt 4x4 I lnstalled the zone 4" lift from zone off road and was wondering if anyone on here has the same or simialr lift. I have the bilstein 5100 struts up front and the retaining clip is on the bottom notch rite now. Truck has slight rake in the front and was wondering if I should bring it to a certain notch on the front. And the rear has a new coil spring set up with 3" on top of factory lengths rear spring. Wondering what shocks will work fot rear with lift. Prefebly bilstein's as well.

Thanks
Bryan

You should be able to get Foxes through BDS because their lifts are basically the same as the Zone kits

Possible link to them? I cant seem to find bilstein shocks for rear 4" lift... most I seen was 1" lift. As for front 5100 struts what shold the clip is set at for it to be level prior to the lift install

 

[sbuko213]

just google BDS suspension. They'll be the first one's to come up

To figure out exactly what to set the Bilsteins at you can measure your truck. Measure all 4 fender heights and determine how much rake you have. From there do the math to figure it out. The settings on the Bilsteins are 0", 0.7", 1.4", 2.1" and 2.8". You'll likely need to set them at 1.4" to fully level out your truck.

For the rear Bilsteins you won't find anything just by searching for a Ram as they don't list them for 4" lifts. You need to find the collapsed and extended length that you need (which in this case is 16.6"/28") and cross reference to their catalogue. You likely can just run the ones for a stock 2500/3500 as they sit about 3" higher than the 1500's.

Bilstein 24-191203 will probably be the closest you find to that.

Here you go, this guy has zone 4" with bils at 0.7" and still has rake so Brandons right, 1.4" would be best

^^^^

its a 4 inch lift. Hes getting 4 inches. Plus additional 0-2 from the bilsteins.

4, 5, or 6.

how is this confusing?

Nothing. The point of the bilsteins is to level the front with the back and get rid of the rake
