Im paying a touch over $400 nothing down, I couldnt imagine paying over $7, where in the US are you?
This doesn't seem right. How are you paying just over $400 for a BTS. Here's a breakdown of a 40k truck at 84 months with low interest at $537 and that's not including tax, title, license. How did you get yours for $400 a month. You either did a 10 year loan or found a BTS for $25k

My reply was to the Original Poster who stated he couldnt find a LEASE for under $700 not finance. If I had financed, it would of been $800+. I chose to lease to buy because I would of missed out on all the incentives offered. I got my truck from the first batch sent to dealers back in mid Feb. All I saw when I checked the dealers website was that they were getting a level 2 1500 crewcab in with 3.92s, Ram boxes and the 8” nav so I went in to price it. When it came in, they were just as shocked as me to see it was a BTS. They still held up their agreement on pricing, sticker was $54 and change and the selling price was $42 and some change. My monthly lease is 1% of the cost of the vehicle(so 423). My residual is $30k.

Yeah the $700 + a month is so bad you'd think it was financing LMAO
Ive spoken with several others who have leased a BTS by me and most are paying somewhere in the 4 range

Low 4s here too
Little over 10k off sticker money factor last month was .00008 and 53% residual. For a 700+ id say the trying to push at sticker with a higher rate
Edmunds has a forum to find your local lease rates and rebates. Lease hacker has a great calculator to fiqure the payments. Its what I always use so I know where the numbers should be

Every time I've present anything to the dealers they say "It's a rare truck, we're not discounting it"

Rare yes, 700 a month for a lease? No way. I just want to point out as well, this has nothing to do with credit either. All these prices I have been getting are going off of tier A.

The dealer I bought from in Mass was willing to move quite a bit on the price

Just picked up my 2020 BTS here in the Austin, TX area. Very pleased I was able to find a long bed.

$44.5k out the door.

You can’t lease out of state.

So I've been digging through multiple threads and hope Grape or someone here can clear level/lifts up...
I thought the consensus was with ORP, which we all have in these awesome BTSs, the mopar 2 inch lift only nets 1 more inch, but now someone one the Bilstein thread is saying it will net 2 inches and essentially be a 3 inch lift? Anyone have a for sure answer?

Also, I'm seeing mostly if you are wanting to level the Bilstein 5100 fronts at position 4 or 5 gives a much more stock ride feel than spacers from RL/RC/MF. Again, is that what people here have gathered from multiple threads as well? Just trying to make sure I'm finding similar information as anyone else looking into it. Thanks!

No real world input on the Mopar. I think I've seen similar instances. One thing to remember is the Mopar lift has been updated with more lift being achieved in the AB/AC variants compared to the original AA. The 3" thing would probably come from our ORP springs. As some people add them on top of the Mopar kit for 3".

Bilsteins - I've heard that as well but then there's just as many people saying the spacer lift doesn't affect ride quality. I'd be inclined to think that the Bilsteins would provide a better ride quality than the spacer though.

I Don’t understand why someone would pay over $1k for a 2” lift unless you were 4 wheeling? You can get a 6” for close to the same price. I’m just going with either a 2 or 2.5 motofab spacer and Zone UCA’s (already have them) to clear a 35’s and calling it a day. Sure bilsteins ride better but I’m installing myself and do not like spring compressors lol

You can they just have to structure it as a NY lease. Just as if you wanted to lease through a LLC that's located in another state.
