Yes, going from a 275/55 to a 295/60 gave me between 1.25”-1.5” gain in height.
Sorry for not clarifying and including the tire height on my total gains in my previous post.

Here’s a pic of my tire and one where it’s up against the back of my Mopar mud flap. I will wait a few more days to see the rub marks so I only cut off what’s needed to clear.

Here’s a pic of my truck in better lighting than the previous pic. It’s hard to get a close up on a 20’ long truck to see the height gains.

Does anyone know if the Sport Model trucks (Canadian only I think) have a different height then the other models without ORP?

Like is the Big Horn model higher then say the Laramie model, both with 4x4 and no ORP?

I think the suspensions are the same on all the models so there should not be a height difference between models (other than wheel/tire combinations), just between suspension options: 2x4, 4x4, ORP, and air.

Truck looks great! Just confirming you did not add the rear spacers from the Mopar lift, just the fox shocks, and left the stock ORP springs in? Any issues with the set up? Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks a lot! No, I do have the rear spacers installed. My installer said he could leave the spacers off and my truck might’ve sat level but I didn’t want to take the chance. The ORP springs are still intact. No issues on installation that I’m aware of from a suspension standpoint. Only issue is the front tires rubbing the mud flaps at full lock and I will trim those back soon.

Gotcha, I must have misread your post. Is this the updated or original Mopar lift?

Today I picked my truck up from the dealership! I had the 2 inch lift kit installed and the ORP springs added to the front. I also added cooper at3 275/65/r20 tires.

Looks great! I am having the same thing done to my 2020 1500 4x4 CC 5.7 bed on Wednesday. I went with 35x11.50 Ridge Grapplers on the factory night edition wheels. From the pics it looks like maybe less than an inch of rake, did you measure? Also I would like to thank all of you that contributed info on this combo using front orp springs. Since finding this forum I am hooked on reading threads everyday : )

It looks like I am down to a half inch of rake on the truck. Measuring ground to fender : Front is at 41 1/2 inches and the rear is at 42.inches. totals were a 4 3/4 inch gain for the front, and a 3 1/4 inch gain for the rear.

Well finally got around to seeing a lifted Sport model at my dealer today that was done on the parts managers truck. I have to say I am very impressed with how much it was lifted. Not too high and not to low. I think it's the perfect balance for everyday drivers especially when on hitting the highway. I'm not longer interested in the BDS 4", although there was also classic body style with the 4" lift looked nice. Wonder if the 5th gens will ever get the 4" lift?

Anyhow the height was perfect and he had 33s on it. I plan on getting 35s for it, which I know I'll get a little more lift then he had. He also didn't have the ORP front springs on it, so had the rake but it didn't look bad. With that being said I am still going to do the ORP front springs.

I did ask about warranty. He said most likely if anyone were to go it'd be the U joints. He did confirm that the kit would be under warranty BUT if a u joint , CV joint etc go it could be denied warranty because of the lift. Now because this is only 2" he says probably wouldn't be a problem and most techs wouldn't even realize it was lifted or not be bothered.

Just waiting for some.money to come in and then I'll be ordering.

Awesome, thanks for measuring. Can’t wait to get mine done tomorrow!

No problem, Good luck! Definitely is worth it in my opinion. I think it was the first kit my dealership installed . There were 6 sales /service employees all standing around my truck admiring how it looked now

I stopped by my local dealer with my truck for the first time since I bought it late last August and the service writer and several other employees were checking it out. I don’t think they have seen or done any lifts on any 5thgens yet. To my knowledge I’m the first one in my town to lift one. I bought this truck from a dealer an hour away and my kit and tires were installed at two different places in town. It definitely boosts your ego a bit when multiple guys are checking out your truck. I’m sure even Ford and GM guys have to admit, these 5THGEN Rams are awesome stock but badass lifted!
