Get rear level with front, 3.5 RC lift

[staffsarge09102]

Just got my 2019 1500 Laramie lifted today with a 3.5 RC lift kit along with 34”s. As I stare at it in awe, and I mean stare, the front is slightly higher than the rear. What’s the best fix to get rear level with front? Not trying to create the “Carolina Squat” appearance. Nothing wrong with that, just not for me.

Never understood the 1” rear spacer that comes with the RC 3.5” kit …. The Readylift 3.5” kit comes with a 2” rear spacer …. Pulling the 1” and replacing it with a 1.5” or 2” would be an easy fix … Motofab makes both sizes … What are your ground to fender measurements ?

I have the same kit but have not installed yet. Still waiting on tires. I am conflicted with either:
1. Motofab 2” rear puck
2. RC 1” rear puck, from the kit, with a 1.5” Icon dual rate spring
3. Clayton 2.5”, possibly 3.5”, triple rate springs
I’m kicking around a few more custom ideas.
So many options!
Doing just the 1” that comes with the kit is not happening. I want to keep some rake. Plus, I have the 6’4” bed and I think the Carolina squat would be more pronounced with just the 1” from the RC kit.
Hopefully more RAM owners will respond on this thread so I can get a better idea before I shove my Laramie through the shop doors.

Everybody has a different happy place …. I have CC and 6’4” bed …. Basically the USS Hydro Blue of Rams …. So 1.25-1.5 of rake is where I wanna be

I actually am doing the RC 3.5 with shocks (rear) and struts (front) and getting the rear 2” from Motofab as I like some rake.

That’s my first choice. Mostly a price decision.

What about an ORP rear spring for 1” of height and the 1” spacer. Might cost a little more but might ride better. That’s my plan if I ever pull the trigger on more lift

Before I read this, I pulled the trigger on a 2” Motofab rear spacer today. I’ll see how that does first.

You’ll need longer shocks …. I’m doin 2” Motofab in rear as well …. Waitin on Bils, and I got my Hellwig and Core links

I have the RC 3.5” kit with lifted struts, UCA, and the rear shocks.

Ok …. What’s that have to do with my point about longer shocks ?

That kit comes with shocks for a 3.5” lift

OK …. That kit has 1” rear spacers, and shocks to go with em …. Will those shocks work with a 2” spacer ?

Just a heads up, you don’t need longer shocks. I used a 2” motofab spacer for a year and a half with stock shocks and it rode 100% stock. The off road shop told me the stock shock was long enough so no need to buy different ones and they were right.

I believe the RC shocks are good for 3" of lift over stock according to their website. As for the OR springs for the rear and 1" lift from them I believe the Eibach rear spring that provide 1" lift are cheaper. I have the Bilstein rear springs and I end up with 1.5" of lift. So many options here depending on how you want to lift the rear and how much money you want to spend. If lifting 2" or higher you may want to look at an adjustable track bar or if you can find a bracket like they have in the Mopar 2" lift.

i went with a 2 inch rear undermount spacer in the rear instead of the rc one. Can still run Airlift 1000s now too.

What’s the part to get my hellwig sway bar back to level after a 2” rear lift? I’m getting confused a little. Endlinks? I’m sure my 4x4 shop will know. He’s awesome

Yes, endlinks …. Got mine at Core 4X4 …. They are sized specifically for the amount of rear lift
