How do you like the ride with the 1 inch rear spacer?? Thinking of doing the same
Love the outlaw steps. I was just eyeing the outlaw series rockrails...but I want it as close as I can to the truck (with little to no gaps in between) with just enough to stick out for me to use as a step. Can you send me a closeup of what it looks like closer to the doors, and one with the door open.
Bilstein 5100s. You will reuse your ORP spring. You can set it to give you just over 2” of lift(3” if you include the lift from the ORP). Should give plenty of clearance depending on what wheels and offset you go with. You could always add a spacer to the rear if you wanted some rake back.
Here’s an option if you’re willing to spend a little more for ride quality. Definitely worth it if you’re in the truck a lot. Details in signature. Some trimming was required but I’m all good now. The 5100’s mentioned above are a (much) cheaper yet quality choice. That will work for you. My brother just installed them on his Ram and he says it rides just the same if not a tad better than stock.
I will see if I can get some shots today. The nice part about the outlaw steps is that they are adjustable. I have them set way in because I didn't want them sticking out too far.
Thank you. That is a sharp ride! Does the truck have the 5100s installed in your signature picture?
Read his sig- he has a Fox setup.
Thanks! I personally don’t have the 5100’s installed. I went all in with the Fox setup. I originally had the 1” ORG springs all around. The Fox coil overs removed the original front springs and added another 1” giving me a total of 2” over stock if that makes sense. I kept the rear ORG springs and just added Fox rear shocks which gave it no additional lift. So basically as it stands I’m 2” over stock in the front and 1” over stock in the rear, giving me 0.75” of rake which I’m happy with. I didn’t want it perfectly level.

Just saw this, Doc. I don't think the spacer changes the ride since I left the stock rear springs. When I did the spacer, I was doing Bilstein 5100's all around. And I went with a stiffer but higher sidewall 275/65 20 inch tire when I did all of the changes. I think it is really the Bilsteins that firm the ride up. Just the way I like it. A little less wallow in the corners and over bumps. I love it. I set the front bilsteins on #5 (1.7 inch lift), and raised the rear with the one inch spacer. So I reduced the front to back rake by about 3/4 of an inch. Happy with how it turned out.
Cool. And if you want to retain more of the factory rake, you can use a 1 1/2 inch spacer in the back instead of the 1 inch..
