After 2 years of lurking Ram forums (was dead set on a Rebel) I finally pulled the trigger yesterday!

I was always conflicted because I love Cement Grey on the Toyota’s but wanted a Ram so this package was perfect for me. Ended up lucky and finding one with the 12 inch nav. Level 2 equipment. Panoramic sunroof and 33 gallon tank on a lot randomly that had a bunch of decent discounts.

Congratulations @Hastethedav!

I just bought some 2" motofab spacers off a member here and ordered the Mopar UCAs from the 2" lift kit. Trying to decide between timbrens, sumo springs or airbags for the rear.

Now I just need to convince my wife I need a new set of tires......

I’ve been looking for the Ceramic Gray 6’4 bed level 2 package. My local dealer can’t find me one

I found one in Mass but didn’t find any others in Nee England

I was looking to replace my 2015 Sierra and the Ram 1500 BTS made me drool! I found one at a local dealer, took it for a test drive and brought it home that day. These trucks are hard to find.

2020 RAM 1500 BTS, Quad Cab, Bighorn Level 2, 5.7L HEMI. So far I have added AVS Vent visors, an Ex-Tang Trifecta 2.0 tonneau, and WeatherTech tailgate liner. Looking to add a small lift/level very soon but my reading has my head spinning due to the ORP.

Stay under 2" and you may not even need UCAs. I picked up the Mopar ones because they're inexpensive ($120 shipped for the set). If you do the Readylift 3.5" kit don't use the preload spacer. The RL 2" kit may be fine since it looks just like the 3.5 kit minus the preload spacer. Iirc though RL said they're different. If you go Bilstein 5100s don't use the highest two settings. If you do a 2" coil over level you're actually only getting 1".

I think that's the high points lol.

I thought with the Bilsteins the highest was setting #5? Im still juggling with what setting to go with, I plan on using a 1”spacer in the rear

I've never lifted a truck before but seriously considering it with this beast, grape can you post pics after? I wouldn't want more than a 2 inch lift. For novices like me do you take the truck in to a dealer or shop or diy?

Yes, I have this kit on my BTS. To “fit”, I did need to trim some plastic such as the making cuts around the wheel liners. I have this kit with 22 inch rims offset (-18) and 35x12.5x22 tires. Couple pics attached for reference. I really like the look...only downside really has been the lower mpg so far.

The lease prices for these trucks are outta whack. $700 a month? F outta here. It's not a limited nor is it a Laramie.

I’m just going off this. There’s more info floating around the forums but I didn’t have a chance to look yet.

This is my first truck so I have no first hand experience. This is just from doing research and seeing everyone’s experience here on the forums. I’m taking mine to my local shop that did my muffler. They do tons of suspension work as well. I feel like I could DIY it but with having to rent tools and what not I just don’t feel like it’s worth the hassle. I’ll cough up an extra $1-200 and have it done for me.

If im not mistaken the top 2 locations are settings #6 & #7. Im still juggling with what setting to go with but im leaning towards #5 in the front with 5160s in the rear with a 1” or 1.5” spacer (Having trouble deciding which one). Planning on switching out the stock UCAs as well with either the mopar ones or doing the Readylifts. Any input is appreciated

 

[puba08]

Can you use the 2.5” or 3” motofab spacer with the ORP or is it advised to only use their 2” spacer? I will be installing Zone UCA’s.

I’m not 100% sure. I think the 2.5” would be fine. I think I’ve read once you get to 4”+ you need relocation brackets. That’s why I’ve decided to keep mine to 3” total w/ new UCAs. It’s a pavement princess but I do live on a farm. So it sees some light off roading occasionally.

Fair enough. I could definitely be wrong and got confused. What’s odd is I only count 5 notches on the pictures. I definitely remember seeing what you’re saying about there being 6-7. I’ll amend my original post so as not to confuse people.

No harm this whole lift concept is confusing me haha. Not my first truck but the first time doing a lift. The pictures are deceiving, i already have the 5100s and they have 7 notches on them.

I'm in NY, but have gotten quotes in the neighboring states as well. Every single one has been $700 + Idk where you got your $400 but you got a great deal apparently lol.
