I have a 2021 ram Laramie 4wd, 3.92 gears and want to add 275/65r20 (34" tires). It's a daily driver with a lot of hwy driving so I don't want 35's or to do anything too extreme. The truck currently sits low and I need to get some height. Trying to decide to between the 2" level kit from ready lift, the 3.5" SST lift from ready lift, or Bilstein shocks. If I do the Bilstein's do I need UCA's?

Im no expert, but on the 5th clip you shouldnt need UCAs from what I have gathered, and the 34's should fit. Might need to bend some plastic in a spot.
Anything over the 5th ring I am not sure.
I have read where others here reported a clunking too high on the Bilsteins. That may be only with the ORP though.

This information is only from my research on fitting 285/55r22 on my Laramie, which is a 34"+ tire. I am still in the figuring out stage.

I'll try to provide some insight here! I know how the search for the right tires and suspension goes!

The first truck is mine with 295/70R18's (34.3 x 11.6) on fuel shok 18x9 (-12). I have bilstein 5100s on the 6th position (2.2" of lift). There is a slight rub that I hear only once a week when I back up my driveway. I've looked and it's so slight that I can't even tell where it's coming from. I did install the Mopar UCA's (not sure they were needed) and for what it's worth, I have tuftruck 1223-v springs in the rear.

The 2nd truck is my dad's. He has black rhino armory 20x9.5 (+6) with 275/65R20 (34.1 x 10.8). Nothing else done to the truck, bone stock. He has no rubbing.

Hope this helps!

I just (Friday) had a 3" front / 1.5" rear motofab leveling kit put on, with 275/65r20's. I upgraded the UCAs, to be safe. The mechanic who did the work said that a 2.5" front only would have leveled it, and been plenty to run those tires, but I wanted the extra height.

Mine is a 2WD - so you are starting 1" higher already, right? Based on that, I'd think a 1" or 2 " level should be plenty. But, that's just me guessing, based on what I had done.

Just curious…. I have the exact same size tires and I am about to purchase the exact same wheels. I have a 2” leveling kit on a 2022 rebel. Is yours a rebel as well? Trying to get an idea about any running issues. Doesn’t sound like you have much.

Sorry for the late response but you should be just fine. My truck is not a Rebel nor does it have the offroad package.
