2019 Ram Laramie 1500 4X4
I was wondering how the Bilstein 5100s with the setting at 1.5-2” of lift in the front affects the ride vs stock struts.
One thing I love as a new to Ram owner is the ride vs the ‘17 silverado I had. I put a set of 5100s on the Silverado with it set to 3/4” lift and it made the ride even worse front and back (I also had a spacer level and bigger rear blocks on the Chevy)
I would like to level the Ram but don’t want to completely lose the ride quality, I can accept a little worse ride.
I searched and couldn’t find the answer I needed.
Thanks

I effected, IMO. Ride quality is still great.

I think the spacers and extra rear lift blocks hurt your Chevy's ride.

I have, and have had, Bilstein 5100's on my last 4 trucks (F250, 2 F150s, and the RAM 1500). All of them have rode better than stock, and I had them all set to the 2nd or 3rd notch up from factory ride height. (I tow and need the rake)
