[fflis]

That’s a sweet set up !! I love the one inch just past the fenders . Is yours air ride also? That’s my whole thing is having all the variables . That set up is perfect I think

Ya mine is air ride. Hoping everything fits and I don’t have any rubbing once the revel links and daystar spacer are in.

Gonna go with the BDS 4” Lift and the Nitto 35’s on some new XD’s. Hoping to get it all finished next week and will post some before and after pics. Hoping I don’t regret the 4” lift definitely more than I had planned on doing.

Please keep us posted. Seems like we have a nice small group in here. Deciding between level or that BDS. No one has posted photos yet so try and document as much as you can.

Looks like I’m gonna be in this for like close to $4k

Ordered the revel links and daystar kit here:

2019-2025 RAM 1500 Adjustable Air Sensor Links (Half Kit)

These easy-to-install kits quickly replace the stock sensor arms to Billet Aluminum Fully Adjustable Sensor Links. With these links you can safely level the truck

www.revelperformance.com

Local shop wants $3520 for the following

Spacer Install, links install
4- 20x9 Fuel Nutz Wheels
4- 35x11.5 Ridge Grapplers
Mount and Balance tires, retrieve TPMS sensors from stock wheels
Alignment
Reprogram Speedometer for larger tire size.

For $160 more I could get new TPMS Sensors. I do plan to sell the stock 20s so I can’t decide if it’s worth keeping the tires mounted on them and selling wheels and tires as one. Tires are stock tires with 20k miles on them.

I priced the wheels and tires online and it came to $3016 delivered to my door mounted and balanced.

So alignment speedo and spacer install for $500 seems reasonable to me.

Thoughts? Should I do it?

My last truck was a frontier and I rocked 33s on the stock wheels and leveled it myself, but it was a *****, I’m always terrified to compress springs etc, seems worth $500 to me now.

My biggest hold up on this whole deal is the mpg effect. I am at 1956 miles and its 15mpg. Know some folks say it gets better at 5K miles, but some things I have read 3-4 drop in mpg after lifted the switch to much larger tires. Last thing I want is 11mpg and can barely pass a gas station without stopping. What is everyone else thinking mpg effects? 90% of driving is to and from work and around town. Drive 1-2 per month to our property in GA which is all hwy, but I am a city driver.

Idk. My truck has 20k miles on it and I’ve only owned it for about 1000 miles but I get around 15 with almost 100% city driving. Way I see it is I can’t imagine it will be much worse with a level and 35s. Maybe cost me a couple hundred bucks a year in fuel. I just spent $39k on a truck. So fk it, let’s do it.

Hella great deal on the truck!!! I’m going to start with daystar, revel links, and some same mopar UCA’s. I’ll see what I can fit on there and get the wheels I want because I’m going to!l stick with 20’s. So for me it’s going to come down to max tire size that I can use every single mode on and then after a while re evaluate and maybe lift it when more money become s available . And how much are they charging you for the calibration? Is it enough to justify that DT TAZER. So you can always calibrate your own vehicle and heck of a lot more stuff?

$500 for spacer and spedo recalibration seems insane me to.

If you have a jack, and an impact or even a socket set you could do the spacers yourself in 30 mins. I just can’t imagine spending that on spacers. The spedo recalibration can be done with a $300 tool that you can use again to adjust the throttle mapping. Pulsar will do it. Any reason you’re not going that route?

Like I said, I did spacers on my previous truck. Not my idea of fun. I have an entire woodworking shop, but really don’t have great mechanics tools. I can’t do an alignment myself, and I don’t have the speedo tool. So to me it’s worth it. I called around, seems to be the going rate.

I went by and paid the man today. He’s got the wheels and tires on order and my links arrive Saturday. Hopefully have it all done next week. He couldn’t go any lower on the price so I was like fk it. Let’s do it. He was working on some ****ty lambo when I pulled up lol.

He seems like a good dude.

Ah. Well. That makes total sense then. I’m the opposite. I have awful wood working tools, basically none but some old files my grandfather gave me. But I have two full tool boxes of stuff specifically for vehicle maintenance and access to free lifts when I need to do suspension work.

Where you located, we sound like we could share tools and have it all!

Has anyone with air ride considered dropping the rear to level it out?
I need to keep mine under 6’2” at the exit/entry level to fit in the underground parking.

I saw someone do it in another thread. What’s the stock height? I don’t even know. With the level you can still drop down to aero for an extra inch.

Looking at my daystar spacers they’re only just over an inch, so I’m not sure it’s going to truly be level. But idk I suppose you can adjust the links to get another inch or so out of it.

I’m guessing the drawback is that you’d lose Entry/Exit, as I’ve seen others post that E/E bottoms out the rear in stock configuration.

I lowered the rear 3/4” to level it out. Went back to stock in rear because the truck would bottom out very hard on decent sized dips on the highway (aero mode) And could feel it hitting bump stops in normal mode around town. Look at the bump stops in the rear with factory links to see how close they are.

My 2 cents. I just did the Daystar spacers myself then had the truck alignment done and made my own links. If you can get the spacers alignment AND the speedo done for $ 500 . Do it ! That’s cheap to avoid the headache and 6 hours of very cautious work. Alignment is 150-175 all by itself ! Lol.
