I'm thinking of leveling my quad cab and putting the same tire size on. How's the ride and do you like the way the leveling kit turned out?
 
Honestly, the ride was great at 1st but after a while my tires got cupped . I think it was the EXO’ s fault not the lift though . I always found that truck a little too “supple” tbh

Baaaarely. The antenna seems to just clear but man it's close. Honestly, I haven't even fully pulled it in to test Ever since I got rid of my 3rd 'fun' car and got my wife a new car, she gets the garage.

If its close I'll let some air out and make it fit. My previous truck was a F350 crew cab long bed and I could only get it in with smaller wheels at a crazy angle.
It was frustrating and time consuming. Your truck looks fabulous 🤪

I'll check it closer if I ever get my garage back from the missus! It would fit but I do have a slight grade and bump getting into the garage as my house is on a slab. A little air out of the tire would definitely do it in a pinch. My last truck, 2018 Laramie w/ Rambox did fit but I had to get it within an inch of the back wall to close the garage door.

ETA, thanks. I got the idea for the tire size from this video: RAM Covert

I've got a falcon shock/strut kit I need to install. Its adjustable from stock to 2.25 lift. My plan in my head is to get a 2 inch spacer so it should be able to see a 4.25 inch lift. If it actually plays out that way is another story, but its going to happen soon. 🤪

Uhhh... If you want t 4 inch lift you need to get a 4 inch lift. If you put a puck on top of an adjustable strut you can say goodbye to your CV joints by the time you get to the end of the block.

I may be wrong but I don't see a bind over 2 inches. I have no expectations of going to 4 inches but if I needed to it sure would be nice.
I know its not the preferred method just the method I'm going with now. I'll probably have 3 or 4 set ups by the time I'm done.
If you change the height with oem air bags do they use different axles?

The thing with o.e. air suspension is the truck does not let your drive for an extended period of time in OR1 or OR2 now you can trick the air bags to stay at OR1 and OR2 but it will cause premature wear on suspension and driveline components. if you are wanting a lift that big you need to just "buy once cry once" or save until you can do it the right way. seems to me running 3-4 different setups to achieve an end goal is non-constructive. Also, when you hear OR1 and OR2 (off road 1&2) you would think "oh nice a little lift for clearance" but these trucks with air bags suck A** off road! more or less the bags are good for towing and makes hooking up the hitch easier (raising and lowering)

I've already bought the Falcon kit so its going on. I haven't bought any spacers yet, but probably will. Mopar actually makes a 2 inch kit for it with spacers so I wouldn't think they would do it if there is a liability or reliability issue. I'm NOT trying to find 4 inches or race in the Baja. I like to play in snow and a little off roading and I believe it will work out. If it turns out to be a nightmare I will document it. We can do a one year test and I'll report back and I'll put it in my google calendar. I think this subject is a reoccurring thing just like the cia, exhaust, etc. Yes there will always be a better way, but I also learn the hard way. If it falls apart in 6 months I will have a parade with balloons and Mopar stickers just for you 🤪 I do understand what you are recommending and appreciate the input thank you

You're definitely wrong. That why they make 4 inch kits and not 4 inch pucks. I hope you don't haul loved one's in that.
