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..
How long have you had the bilstein shocks for?

When I had my 2012 ram, I got the 5100 installed. I set it to the second highest, which was about 2.1inch...then over a span of about a month it settled to around just under 2 inches. It was perfect setup for me...and that also had a 1" spacer in the rear.

Mine were installed on 11/18, so about 3 weeks ago. They haven't settled noticeably to the eye. I'll give it another week or so and re-measure.

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. View attachment 75464
Love this truck. Really wanted this color but was not available in 2019

The Fox 2.0 coilovers are for 0-2" lift. I was told that they come preloaded for 2" and that i would have to back out the nut 1" to eliminate the 2" preload lift since the BDS suspension lift comes with a 4" spacer that goes on top of the strut. The fox tech guy told me that the coilovers would be stiffer than my factory ride for the street and that I would be better off waiting for the release of the front shot/strut instead of going with the complete coilover assembly. The shock alone is supposed to release for $289 each vs the $430 for the one in the mopar kit. So I will install my BDS kit with the factory front shocks until the Fox ones are released in 2 months. The BDS tech guy also told me that he would NOT use the Fox coilovers with the BDS 4" suspension lift as they will be stiffer and BDS does not know the length of them or tested them as thought that I could possible end up with a higher front end than my rear end which I do not want. BDS said their 4" kit was designed around the factory Ram struts and that they offered a Fox shock upgrade for the rear which I am getting.
If you would like to discuss further, PM me and I can give you my cell to talk if you'd like. I have talked to BDS, Fox and Mopar technical guys to make sure what I am chasing does not turn into a lumber wagon if I am dropping $6k on lift and wheels. Been there, done that and it SUCKS! They have had some insightful information, but I really wanted some real world feedback and it doesn't seem that there are many 2019/2020 Ram 1500's on a 4" or 6" BDS kit with the new Fox coilovers.
Hey man have you heard any updates on these shocks? I haven’t seen them yet :(

Hey everyone. Looking for some advise from those of you who’ve been running your current wheel/tire/level/lift setups for a while now. I just bought my very first truck (2020 1500 crew sport) last august and it’s been awesome ever since.
I kept the stock 22s for my winter set up but for summer im looking at 33x12.5 toyos. I’m trying to decide which rims to go for. I’m deciding between the following:
1. Vision spyder 22*12 -57et
2. Vision spyder 22*10 -51et
3. Fuel Vapors 22*12 -44et
3. Fuel Vapors 22*10 -19et
Any feedbacks re suspension and steering wear and did you notice any accelerated wear on your wheel bearings and tires running these negative offsets?
I already bought a 2” levelling kit with UCA’s from readylift pending install. Thanks I’m advance!
I had 22x12 -57 Vision Slivers on my 19 Laramie with 2" wheel spacers, with a 2.5 level. I will be doing the same with my 21 Limited

2020 1500 Big Horn - No lift (leveling kit is going in this week) - Moto Metal MO978 20x10 -25 - Federal Xplora MTS 33x12.5

This setup clears lock to lock with about 1/2 an inch to spare. I meant to have the leveling kit on before the wheels but life just hasn't permitted it so it's under the rear seat and going in this week.
How do you like the tires? They aren’t as aggressive as I would like, but 99% of my miles are on the pavement these days, but I want an aggressive look.
How are they holding up?

Any reason you went with the 11.50's instead of the 12.50's? Were the 12.50's going to rub? I'm wheel hunting right now for Fuel wheels that will give me the same tire poke that you have but I'm looking to stick with the 12.50's...
I wanted to stick with the stock wheels and I don't like the way the 12.5's look on an 8" rim but I still wanted 35's. Weight was also a big consideration on my decision for this set up. The 285/75/18 Duratrac's are only 4lbs heavier per tire over stock. I also live in the Northeast so the skinnier tires are much better in the snow. I am very happy with this set up. No loss of power and the fuel economy barely suffered.

For those of you that have done your lifts. Do the sensors for things like parking, lane keepassist, etc have to be adjusted to work with the change in height?

I have a 5" lift. Sensors appear to work as stock. I have noticed that the "seams" on the 360 camera don't quite line up as well as they used to, but it's really not that bad.
