Anyone done a 1 inch front leveling kit?

[jgdblue]

I know it seems minimal, and maybe it isn’t worth the cost and hassle. The reason I am considering it is I am putting 275/60R20 Recon Grapplers on factory wheels, and I just want to raise the front a hair to have a little more room for the tire so it doesn’t look so stuffed in the front wheel well. I would rather not have to raise the rear end, but would still like a very slight bit of rake.

I found this kit, kind of expensive for that small of a lift, but not much more expensive than filling my 33 gallon tank today! Anyone done a 1 inch front level?

I am a new Ram 1500 owner so others may correct my statement here, if I am wrong.

Whether you lift it 1" or 2+" the process is the same. That is, it requires that you completely remove the struts and either 1) put a spacer above the spring, or 2) replace the struts with adjustable or longer struts. Either way, you still need to have it re-aligned afterwards. If you are going to go through this effort and cost, I would suggest you go with more like 2" of lift which will make your truck more level.

I just installed Bilstein 5100 adjustable struts on my 2023 Ram 1500. The Bilstein struts are more expensive than a simple spacer but are adjustable between 0" and 2.6", rather than the fixed lift height from a spacer. Though, you still have to completely remove the struts and re-align it if you decide to change the amount of lift after it is installed.

You can prob run those without a level with a little trimming. I did a 2” motofab level and it’s perfect

I have this on my 2020 Rebel and I dig it. It is a bit expensive and labor/tech expensive IF you don't do the work yourself as it requires some savvy vice/bench sawzall skills. I installed it myself. Shout if ya got any questions. Rides stock with about 1.25" of lift. I did it to transfer some front end weight to the rear axle as I have a QUAD cab with the 33 gal tank and when she got near empty the rear end rode rough and was wayy bouncy and skittish. It's planted now even when the gas light comes on... Looks stock unless your a real suspension geek or ya know it's there .

Why would adding strut spacers require any vice/sawzall work?

Studs maybe, since the spacer is shorter than the typical 2” spacer?

If sawzall was used for anything other than that, I’d wager he’s got bigger problems today.

You have to trim down the studs on the top hat a good bit so the stud extension/spacers seat on the top hat plate completely without the stud bottoming inside the stud/ spacer extensions.

Maybe just add the offroad package springs/struts to the front, that would give you the one inch.
