Hey guys I have a 2019 1500 4x4 came with off road package , I think it has 1" lift on it . I'm looking to level the front out , do you guys think Blistens would do the job, or will I have problems because of the 1 inch lift? Also how much lower is front of truck to back ? Thanks

Looking to add level kit on 2019 4x4 w off road package.

There are no Bilstiens available for the 2019s yet. As of now, your best bet is to use a 2" or 2.5" top hat spacer. 2.5" may be too much. You will need to measure your truck. Get a tape measure and measure the front and back. Measure from the very center of the wheel hub up to the bottom of the fender. This will tell you how much rake you have and what size spacer you will need.
All trucks are made slightly different with relations to options/payload/etc, making some trucks have more rake than others. You will also want to replace the upper control arms as the ball join in the factory arms is not made to accomodate any more than an inch or so. Readylift control arms would be your best option.
Just put a leveling kit on it. The front struts and rear springs are different than non off road ones. If you put a leveling spacer on the front, it will raise it the amount specified, just like a non off road. I would suggest upper arms also.

I just did the 2.5 Motofab spacer and Readylift upper control arms. You can find my post elsewhere in the forum. Everything worked great. I think it came out perfect. The truck still has a slight forward rake.

I added the $55 RC leveling spacers only. Rides much better with no issues. I don't plan to do any offroading so no need to replace upper arms for me. I have pics in my posts.
But is yours an Off Road? There lies the difference.... The ORP comes with a 1" lift. By adding the 2" RC spacer, his truck would be at 3".... Therefore needing the control arms. You can get away without them at 2", but at 3, you really should do arms.

I should have said this in the last post. Yes, I have the Off Road package.

What is your offset on those wheels?

18x9 -12 offset.
Did your truck have the off toad package ? What was your cost for mods, also did you notice MPG difference ?
I'm getting ready, in the next couple weeks, to put the Readylift 2" level with upper arms on my ORP truck. Seems to be the best bang for the buck.
Also picked up a set of 20" Laramie polished wheels to put on mine. Going to throw a set of 305/55 or 295/60 tires on it. Just not sure which, or which tires I want.

What size tires?

After a ton of research and some help from people here (Troop2865)... I went with the ReadyLift control arms and a motofab 2.5" top spacer. I have the ORP and ended up with about a 3/8" rake. Drives slightly more firm, like it should have from the factory. Looks exactly like I hoped it would... 275/65/20s (34") and new wheels coming after the holiday!

My tires are 35-12.50-18's. I think you will see a slight loss in mileage, but remember to add in the difference in mileage when calculating fuel economy. For example, until I reset the computer for the larger tires, my speedometer is about 8 percent off. When I fill I take my mileage times 1.08, then divide by the gallons. My mileage has been a little less than I expected, but that was before I did modifications. I haven't noticed a big difference from before and after.
This is $$$. Exactly the setup I'd love to do on my Big Horn ORG
I just ordered a 2019 Laramie off-road package and air suspension. Can I install the lift you have? NICE Truck! Love the stance.
All of the lifts/levels I have seen on the forum look great, but not having much experience with suspension installs (none), is waiting for shocks from Bilstein a better solution for the truck long-term?
