Hi,
I just traded my 2019 Ram for new 2020 as mine had some unforseen issues. I am having the 2”Mopar lift kit installed and I want the truck to sit level so I purchased the new spacers for the front. Will this actually level it should I have them leave out the rear spacer? Can anything be done with the preload on the front shocks to increase ride height and remove that factory rake? Any help is greatly appreciated as this kit will be installed either tomorrow or Monday so I can pick my truck up Monday night.

How does it look? Did you have the ORP on the new truck?

I have 2019 with the Mopar 2" lift. My truck is. Laramie Sport.... so I had then add the spacer and ORP springs on the front. That leveled the truck. I think its 1/5 difference from don't to rear. It's close. But the truck doesn't really feel lifted much. Good luck.

How does it drive? Does it feel close to stock, comfort and handling wise? Do you have any pictures?

It drives great. The same or maybe even better than stock. Downside is u can't really tell its lifted but it is capable. I haven't changed the wheels out yet so maybe once I do I will notice the lift a bit more. Can't decide on wheels and was actually thinking I might pit on some Rebel take offs.

Yea, that's what been holding me back. It just doesn't look like anything changed lol.
But then a 4" BDS lift is twice the cost, and may cause warranty issues.
I really want the front end to be higher and level with the rear, and want to keep my ride quality. Pay $2000 Canadian for the Mopar lift, is a tough choice. Some pictures it looks great, other pictures it's unnoticeable.

This pic is actually a bad pic because the driveway does slope. I posted measurements on a post but I can't seem to find them. Must be on ram forum and not 5th gen forum. I would say if your going to do it only add the ORP springs to the front or u will have a very noticeable rake. Although if u look at Raptors they have a big rake also. Here I am side by side with a Badass Raptor (raptor has 35" on 20")

Mopar lift on 285/65.
yeaaaaa, that's what I'm looking for!!! Looks awesome.
So Mopar lift, ORP springs upfront and what size/brand of spacer? Top hat or preload?

It most definitely looks higher than stock!

I said I had the spacer. I bought first gen lift which are still being sold without the spacer. The new ones come with it. So just make sure its a newer or I thibk gen 3 of the lift.

So factory off road package and 2 inch Mopar lift? Any idea how much rake you have? I have the Mopar lift sitting in my garage but can't decide if I want to use the 2 inch rear spacers or replace them with a 1 inch spacer to get closer to level.

I'll measure tomorrow again and post. I installed complete mopar kit but left the oem sport springs in the rear. Only changed front ones to the oem off road springs on the front.
