What is the right height of leveling kit for a 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn. I've read on the internet 2" to 3 1/2 inch. What is the right height? Thanks.

Can vary slightly between trucks...best to measure from center of wheel hub to bottom of fender on front and rear. Difference will tell you how much to level.
Lots of info under suspension thread

Definitely measure. Mine had a 2” rake, a friend of mine has the same exact truck, different color and his was just about 3”. I went with the MotoFab 2” and it sits perfectly level even after a few hundred miles.

I have a 2" difference from front to back so I guess I'm going with a two inch leveling kit. The stock tires that are 275 55 20 are 31.91 inches. Do you think I can get a 34 inch tire with a two inch lift.

Will be close...some had no trouble, others had to do minor trimming. Check out various leveling kits to see what best suits your needs.

MotoFab 2” level with 35x11.5-20” BFG All Terrain TA KO2’s. Absolutely ZERO rubbing lock to lock, NO TRIMMING, not even remotely close to rubbing. I went nuts reading people’s posts on here, between people whining about exhaust noise, and tire fitment. I didn’t log back on until my truck was done. I did exactly what everyone said NOT to do and I love it.

Do you have 1/4 spacers on it to bring rims out

love the look, i wanna level mine out but after reading all these post .i`m so confused and i would have to have a sons friend due the work as i`m getting to old to do this myself.(51 bad back). all i want is a nice level with no compromise in the ride. i have a 2019 bighorn with the ORP and i here so many different ways. what i understood i can just buy the blisteins 5100 and it will be the only thing i need to do. is that correct?

I can’t speak for the bilsteins, i know it’s adjustable.

I realize this is 3 years old but thought I would chime in since I stumbled upon this thread. I have the bilstein 5100 kit set at 2 inch lift in the front and it looks great. However, the ride quality is not good. I learned that the kit rides best at stock adjustment, and to get some lift in the front end it is best to go with some spacers so you don’t compromise ride quality. Hopefully this helps if anyone else stumbles upon this via google searching

Fox 2.5 DSC at Fox factory height of 2 in in the front. So 1 additional inch compared to ORG equipped trucks.

New coilover springs before spacers, spacers are just the ghetto el-cheapo version of a level or a lift. Not a permanent fix
