I have a 2023 1500 that I would like to put a 3" lift on it. I'm new to this and not sure what to get. I mainly drive on the highway. I have 20" rims with Bridgestone Dueler A/T ASCENT OWL 275/60R20 tires. I've searched online but not sure what kits to get, I've seen some that its just struts and shocks and others have more. Any suggestions will be helpful, Thanks.
 
Budget will determine what kit options you have. Bilstein, Eibach, BDS, Rough Country. Stay away from spacers, they're garbage and do not allow for a proper working suspension.

I'm running the BDS 3" w/ FOX Elite 2.5

On the budget side it starts with Bilstein 5100's. (I'm not even going to mention pucks. Just don't). Then there are full kits from the likes of Eibach that have rear coils as well. These are still on the lower end. Then there is a big jump into the 2.5 inch Dia shocks. It's all up to your budget. In short, Bilstein, Fox, King, Eibach, and Icon all make coilovers that will get you to just about 3 inches. 2 inches is all you need to get 35's on. Read. Watch YouTube, and talk to your local off road shop and decide what you think is best for you.

Some brands just have the shocks and struts and others have shocks, struts and control arms, not sure which ones I need.

I look into BDS and their website says that their are no products available for my ram
 
19-24 are all the same. Only difference might be engine 3.6/Diesel/Hemi

What year? Model? Engine?

Edit: Are you 2WD or 4X4?

Just make sure you get the same struts to keep the valving. You can get any aftermarket uca's of good reputation.
 
Man has a 2WD truck he never takes off road. Get Bilstein 5100's, OEM Ram ORG springs (1" taller), and rough country UCA's. Depending on how long you want to wait I may have my OEM springs off the truck cause I'm moving to Eibach soon.
 
 
They call it a lift, but yet it's ONLY a level kit. You need something with rear coils if you want a LIFT kit. Btw any 4X4 kit will work.
