Let’s see some more pictures, different angles. I like that you kept the stock rims, I’ll do that for a while at first too. No rubbing?
Nothing that I've noticed. Haven't driven it a lot but have hit full lock and nothing.

That is quite a bit of rake. Anymore pics?

I'll get some later today. Been in meetings all day. I agree that there's a lot of rake, more than I expected (about 2.5" I think). I have to call the dealer today as my speedo is off and they charged me to calibrate it so they better get it spot on. ;)

2" Mopar lift with 35x12.50s... will get better pics just picked the truck up yesterday.

Definitely less rake than mine, from that angle it doesn't look like it has any. I wanted to go 35s but couldn't justify doing wheels as well.

You might want to look into that. I installed the 2.5” Moto fab spacer and I am within .5” front to back. 2.5” rake is excessive after a 2” level.

I did the mopar lift, not a level. But the updated lift should have less rake I think.

There is a 2” rear spring that will take care of that rake. Really easy to install.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how does a rear spring remove the rake? Is it shorter? I was under the impression that the front should be higher.

The springs will lower your rear approx 2” taking away the space between tire and fender achieving a leveled look if that is what u want to do. A lean look is when your front sits higher than your rear. Your current set up as you stated is rear higher by 2.5” compared to your front.

If he doesn’t like the rake the easier thing would be to remove the rear spacer. He did a 2” lift all the way around. The rear is achieved with a spacer.

Not bad. See if you can take one at “eye level” with the door handles. That will help. Also do it with the sun at your back so the tires aren’t in the shaded wheel wells, it will give better perspective on the wheel well gaps.

Can any of you with lifts and or levels take pictures of yours next to a stock Ram? Some perspective might help. I saw a leveled truck yesterday in person that looked great but when I took a picture you couldn’t even tell.

This is a 3" Motofab spacer up front and a 1" in the rear to level the truck. I also went from factory 18" rims to 20x9. I also increased the tire to a 295/60. Hope this helps you out.

Can anyone confirm what the total height of the 6" rough country kit with 37" tires is. Looking to fit in a 84" garage?

That's a good lookin truck. Do you have the measurements from the ground to the wheel well? If not, would you be willing to take them? Also, have you had any issues with this setup? Rubbing, bad UCA angles, etc?

I’m looking to see what the cost is on a set of wheels like those looking for the best deal possible obviously

39.5” from ground to middle of wheel well all around. I have had no issues with rubbing or angles and this truck has been in 4 wheel drive several time from snow trails to muddy orchards and has done just fine

Can you take more pictures? Is this the 2" Mopar with Fox shocks all the way around? It looks different than most others who have had it done.
