Waiting for all the kinks to be completely fixed... but waiting on blinstien shocks to come out.

When the Bilstein shocks come out my 2" spacer is coming out and the Bilsteins are going in..

Gotcha....good idea... How does the rear suspension on yours feel?

Not just the rear suspension but the overall feel of the truck feels firm in all respects.
In the stock config it felt mushy and rode kind of like an old Cadillac in my opinion.
Now with the 2" spacer and 34.6" 10-ply hybrids its like a chuck wagon.

I'm hoping that when the 5100's come out I can lose the spacer run the rubber off these 10-ply's go XL rated tires and it will be a perfect medium type feel/ride

I just spoke with Bilstein....The shock cant provide the lift so basically the only option is to switch to their shock..he said they should be out by late summer.

Really makes me consider the updated Mopar 2” lift then. It comes with Fox Shocks on all 4 corners and the updated version decreases the rake significantly. Not fully level, but close. That will help with towing too.

The rake basically stays the same with the Mopar kit..if anything like a half in less.

Anyone running 1/4inch or 1/2inch spacers? I just put 35x12.50r22s on the stock rims w 2in level and initially thought there was no rubbing, but if there is any articulation in the front end when I do a turn I can feel a little rub.
There are some universal ones on amazon, curious if those are any good? Has anyone ever run them on their current RAM or any previous trucks? Recommendations for brand/e-store to get them from would also be greatly appreciated.

Put the springs off the off-road package on and get an extra inch in the front.

Not the new one.

Don’t need to now. They redesigned the Mopar lift. There is a TSB for the original that adds a spacer on the strut itself and the new one is redesigned to take rake out. Not 100% level but better than stock.

That’s what I have added to my original Mopar 2” lift..

So its more than a two inch lift now or theres just a spacer for the rear now?

Even with the spacer it is still a pretty good amount of rake. I believe @skol has the new lift as well as off-road package springs in the front and still has about an inch of rake.

Good thing I don’t care about the rake. It ain’t that much in my eyes after seeing people with the old Mopar lift so I can imagine less of it with the new mopar lift. Even if its minor.

This is the updated Mopar lift on 35x12.50x22’s. Looks pretty good to me.

How does it ride?

Better than my chevy with a level and 33's, i was quite surprised at how smooth it rides. I just took it to mexico over the weekend and they have choppy roads and it felt great. Little pucker factor passing cars @ 100 mph though. Average 11.9 gpm cruising @ 85 mph.

I had the 2" Motofab Leveling Kit installed on my Laramie yesterday. The ride doesn't seem to be affected. I wasn't initially in a rush to get it leveled, but I'm pleasantly surprised; it looks night and day better. Below are measurements from center of wheel to top of wheel well. Cost was $80 for the spacers and $200 for the install from a local shop in South Jersey. I'm waiting on the alignment until the new wheels come in. Attached are two pictures, from different angles, but you get the idea. The truck looks much meaner.

Before:
Driver front 21.5
Passenger front 21.5
Passenger back 23.5
Driver rear 23.25

After:
Driver front 23.0
Passenger front 23.0
Passenger back 23.5
Driver rear 23.25

Ok all, since my new 2019 is getting upfitted with the SST 3.5 and some other goodies I decided to post pics along the way.

Adding 20x10 XD wheels and 35x12.50 tires, along with a slew of other goodies. Will post more pics asap.

Most dont like this look. But for the ones that do these are 26” Diablo Gforce chrome with black inserts with 295/30/26 delinte force tires. I had to trim the inner well covers a bit. Have the rear lower springs in hand.
