    BDS vs Zone 4" Lift on Non-air ride 4WD w/ Stock 22" Wheels

    Here's the before and after pictures of the 4" lift with Toyo ATIII 35x12.5/22 tires. 2" spacers were required because the tire was touching the knuckles without them due to the offset of the factory wheels. Overall I think it turned out fantastic. I've got to take it and get one of the...

    BDS vs Zone 4" Lift on Non-air ride 4WD w/ Stock 22" Wheels

    Thanks for the info and for the pictures. Mine is the same color but has the night edition black 22" wheels on it. What size wheels and tires are those you are running? Wondering if the 35's I will be putting on my stock rims will require any mods to the wheel wells.

    BDS vs Zone 4" Lift on Non-air ride 4WD w/ Stock 22" Wheels

    In preparation for my lift next week, I was thinking more about something I read months ago. When lifting 4", most people I think said to get longer rear sway bar end links. Does anyone know if this is included in the 4" zone lift kit? I can't find a parts list and the installation guide on...

    BDS vs Zone 4" Lift on Non-air ride 4WD w/ Stock 22" Wheels

    I pulled the trigger today and scheduled my truck for the 4" Zone lift kit with new UCAs and Fox rear shocks and wrapping my factory 22" wheels in 35x12.5/22 Toyo ATIII tires. February 9th and 10th can't get here soon enough!

    BDS vs Zone 4" Lift on Non-air ride 4WD w/ Stock 22" Wheels

    I saw that UCAs are an option with the BDS kit but didn't see it when configuring the Zone kit. I didn't add the upgraded UCAs since wasn't sure if it was worth it/needed for another $800+. I do occasional off-roading but more just to get to a good hunting spot here or there and not for...

    BDS vs Zone 4" Lift on Non-air ride 4WD w/ Stock 22" Wheels

    I'm looking at doing a 4" lift on my 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Night Edition with stock 22" wheels, 4WD, and no air ride suspension. I had read that Zone lifts are owned by BDS lifts and that BDS has a better warranty. Besides that, what is the big difference in the $1000 difference in price? Was...

    So you have the 4" kit installed now? If so, how do you like it?

    lift kits with stock 22"s

    What size tire will you run with the 4" kit? I've got a 21 night edition with 22s but they look different so wondering how they compare offset and such. Was considering going 3 or 4" lift.

    Which BAKflip model did you go with? Been considering getting one for my truck.

    Octane change??

    I've run 87 since the day I bought my 2021 (New Year's Eve last year). Never noticed any issues and drives like a dream. Never tried running a higher octane to see if it runs any better since it runs so good as is. The sales guy I dealt with said most customers he's sold them to all run 87, also.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    What length camper and what is the estimated weight? Thinking about upgrading from our popup next year but I'm worried about how my truck will haul a long camper. The one I want that has a bunkhouse in it is 28 or 29' long I think.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I've heard people talk about it blocking the hole to lower the rear spare tire. Did it cover that hole up? I really want this light bar, also, but don't want to make it a pain to get my spare tire if ever needed.

    22" Stock Wheels with 3.5" lift question

    Would I still use the 3.5" V2 rear monotube shocks with the 2.5 coils or would that cause any problems? Obviously doing lifts is new to me. There's a local shop that will install whatever I decide to go with.

    22" Stock Wheels with 3.5" lift question

    Will your setup get rid of any of the rake or will it keep it? I'd like to get rid of most of the rake (maybe leave ~0.5"). Also, do you have a part number for the Clayton 3.5" coils for the rear? I found the other three items but couldn't nail down the Clayton coils. Ride is definitely top...

    Creaking Brake Pedal

    Mine started doing the exact same thing a few weeks ago (bought the truck 12/31/21). So annoying. Let me know what you find out.
