Any other parts needed for 2” lift/level?

[S281]

question on trying to lift and level my new truck. It’s a 2023 Lone star 5.7L 4x4. Stock suspension right now

I’m wanting to go with a 2” lift and achieve a level look with no rake. Also wanting to do it correctly without spacers so it keeps the ride quality and doesn’t put excessive wear on suspension components.

I’ve ordered Bilstein B8 5100 adjustable shocks for front and rear as well as SkyJacker upper A arms with HD ball joints.

Will this achieve what I’m wanting to do? Or do I need other parts? I see people buying rear springs as well but not sure if I need them.

Any help would be appreciated

That should be it. Just make sure to get a front end alignment when everything is installed

Although Skyjacker is bottom of the barrel, this will do exactly what you are looking for. As mentioned, get an alignment.

Thanks guys. Skyjacker sucks? lol I thought that was just rough country. What’s a good brand for UCA?

Rough Country has made some great improvements and offer a quality product. Esp there UCA and 2” leveling coilovers.

Depends on how much you want to pay, and what your intended use. The Mopar 2" lift UCAs are probably the cheapest option. Other brand names will be more expensive. One thing to consider is the 4th gen UCAs are the same. I was able to score a set of BNIB Zone Off-road UCAs off marketplace for less than half the price of new.

Uh... no. Rough Country is pure crap.

In that price range JBA is the best. Another 2 hunny and you can get ICON or Cambourg.

I really like the JBA ones, and probably would have bought those had I not gotten the deal on the Zone UCAs
