Helloo.

Was thinking to do a 6” lift and 37” tires but a lot o people have told not to do it will regret it, it’s everyday driving and don’t do off-road.

So now I want to go less aggressive with 35” tires and if can get 3” lift of posible, there is anyone with experience with Bilstein 6112 front and 5160 rear, or 8112 and 8100 or go with FOX? Just trying to fit 35” and level my truck and to have a comfort and smooth drive for everyday drive, any recommendation?

My truck it’s a 2019 Ram Rebel 1500

Thanks in advance✌🏽
 
personally i went with Fox 2.5DSC.
but if you don't do offroad then you can't go wrong with bilstein, though expect firmer ride.

this is what i currently have to compensate for the weight I put on the truck:

This is before all the weight:

If all you want is to fit 35s, consider Carli Commuter Package which comes with everything you need and there's no overthinking, additional research, and headache required.

I have seen the Carli but they are $$$$…

that is an all inclusive package, comes with everything you need (rear springs and rear sway bar)

even if you do bilsteins or Fox, or whatnot you still need those things.

Ohh ok, I didn’t know I need rear springs and sway bar for 2”-3”lift
 
Budget is going to determine which kit. Bilstein 6112/5160 is a great setup, ran them with a 6" lift on my 4th Gen. Eibach is another brand worth looking at. Fox 2.0 are the softest.

FOX 2.5 and Bilstein 8112/8100 are top end of budget for sure.

I'd personally go Eibach w/ coilovers/shocks all in one listed above, as they are in between Bilstein ( firmer) and FOX (softest). Also suggest upgrading UCA's


I'm running BDS 3" w/ FOX 2.5 and UCAs

If you want a deal on basically brand new Fox 2.5 PE DSCs with a pair of new Swaybar Endlinks included, check out my post in the Buy/Sell/Trade section in the Forum..I'll make you a deal.

I also recommend upgrading the UCAs at the same time. I went with JBA Offroad UCAs and very happy with the product.

View attachment 208203Nice, what about the driving you like it? It’s comfort and soft? What size you have 35” tires?
 
Thanks for the info I will take a look on Eibach. Nice truck! Planing to buy the BFG KO3 I see you have them you like them? Are better than the Toyo open country AT III ?
Yes, I really like the BFG KO3. I've used the KO2s for nearly 30 years on my trucks/Jeeps and to me they've performed well. To keep the tread wear even, they need to be rotated often. I don't have any experience with the Toyo AT III.
 
I like the ride. I had to play with the adjusters because at first it was to soft for me. I'm running Falken Wildpeak AT4W 285/65R20 34.6X11.2 I believe. I didn't want a full 35x12.5.
