FINALLY INSTALLED! 2019 BIGHORN w/ Readylift 3.5" Kit with Bilstein 5100's front and 5160 Resi's in the rear.

[friendshipm]

Tires went on today. 35x12.5r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Definietly felt a bigger change from lift to Tires than from stock to lifted. Got a bit firmer with the F-Rated tires but still light years better than my BMW X5. View attachment 60028 View attachment 60029 View attachment 60030

Truck looks awesome. Any chance you can measure from the ground to the highest point on the roof? Curious to see if that height will still clear a garage.

did you still have 35x12.50? if so any rubbing? I have same rims and like to keep them

I run 1/4" spacers up front to clear UCA's

I have a 2020 Ram rebel - would have the ORP springs. How much lift does setting #4 on the bilsteins 5100s give? I'm looking to get 2" of lift from those shocks, to get back to a level/higher look up front (Currently running the 3.5" readylift, with the 2" rear spacer/ and without the preloaded spacer)

Here are Bilstein options for Rebel. https://cart.bilsteinus.com/results...En=4278223993559865425&Su=1579706527811050047

I'll Measure it to be accurate but its about 3" below 7ft...If the 7ft barrier at the car wash was accurate, lol

I think you said 81" earlier. Also since you've had this install now for a little time. Any noises, weird wear or other ohh crap what was that going on?

I'm torn between the Mopar lift with ORP springs, your setup and Bilstein with the ORP springs and 1.5" in the rear. I'll be running either (same rims as you)285/65/20, 35x11.50/20 and maybe 295/60/20

 

[MaxiSteel]

Received the 5160's and slapped them on this past weekend. Can definitely tell a difference, especially over potholes, speed bumps, etc...
Super easy install too. Took all of 10 minutes per side.

Only issue I had was going too wide on tires and getting UCA rub....35x12.5 a bit too wide. Ran a .25" spacer up front to fix the issue. I have Zero noises or creaks, etc. I need to install helliwig sway bar, occasional get Traction control if I corner like an idiot.

I too can confirm this lmao.

 

[Lights Out]

looking to replace the pre load spacer (RL 3.5 SST) with 5100's but looking to have as close to level as possible.
Anyone here have that set up and close to level?

Yes @ #4 i have 1" of rake, setting #5 is just about perfectly level.

Have mine at setting #5 but thinking of dropping to #4 for rake. At some angles #5 looks a tad nose high, but then at others perfectly level. I’m wondering would dropping it a little improve MPGs or is it insignificant.

Dropping from #5 to #4 wouldn’t net any significant gain in mpg.

I think when perfectly level these trucks look nose high because the hood line is above the bed line which is why I went with #4 originally in the first place. MPG wise i get 12.5 +/- .5 with only my commute city driving....get 17-19 hwy.

 

[Ram Dude]

Good point BiG...I'm averaging around 15 MPGs mostly highway commute, so guess that's not too bad huh for a Hemi with a 3.5" lift.

 

[Blueraptor]

So the 35x12.5/20's will rub on the UCA's but will they still rub with a 22" wheel? I am looking at 33x12.5/22's and want to be sure I can get them to clear the UCA's and have no rubbing without having to lift it any or as little as possible.

 

[Sugar]

Looks great! This is my plan in the spring. I have the RL 2” leveling kit and 5100’s in the garage. Just need to get the rear shocks and will be good to go. Would do now if I didn’t have such a small garage (truck doesn’t fit)
