What kits are you all putting on or has any dealer released a new kit? Everything says does not fit diesel.

I’ve had 3 different “lifts” on my ORG already. Readylift 2” leveling/ rear spacer, Fox 2.0 fronts/ rear spacer, and fox 2.5 fronts/ rear spacer. The incompatibility comes in at a 4” lift. The front driveshaft will be short after installing any 4”+ lift. I think the answer will be a double u-joint on the driveshaft, but I’m not going to go that route since I’ll most likely be trading in next year.

Which lift did you like best? I saw Bilstein has 5100 available now for our trucks. Wondering if the 2.5” .

Fox by far. The ride is excellent on the street. I haven’t done any real off roading, so I can’t speak to that. There is one lift kit that I left off of here because I bought it for my hemi 5th gen, which is the eibach kit. That one was pretty good also, but the springs were pretty firm and I would’ve preferred less compression on the front shocks. I don’t have any experience with the bilsteins since they were on back order every time I tried to get them.

I think our trucks only weigh 50lbs more or less than the hemi. Dealer tried selling a ready lift 3.5 sst but my initial experience with that kit on my hemi was it was terrible ride. Want a suspension lift not spacers.

I gave up looking on lifts because of the driveshaft.

I have 2.5F/1.5R spacers going in on Tuesday. I have never lifted or leveled any of my trucks before and wanted the Eibach kit, but a local installer told me he would do the motofab spacers for $599 installed, aligned, and out the door. I'm going that route because my truck is new and I decided that I didn't want to change the stock struts/shocks until they needed to be changed. My truck only sees pavement and will never go off-road. I'll try the spacers and if I don't like them, then I'll have him install the Eibachs or Bilsteins.
