Just curious how many people leveled the front of their new ram. I am in the market of a new ram and have my f150 leveled with 2” rough country.

I've only had mine for a couple weeks so I haven't leveled it yet. Still trying to find my way through the "best" method of leveling!

Congrats. I have zero issues with my rough country leveling kit. On my f150. I assume it works on the rams too

Did you just use the Motofab 2" Spacer that goes on top of the strut tower? I was concerned about it putting too much stress on the control arms.
That's what I used. I was going to get the Mopar lift, but honestly my dealership said if I just wanted level to get the Motofab. The angles are fine.

I put the bilstein 5100 adjustable ride height shocks on mine couple days ago. Love it. Retained factory ride, only lifted it 1.5" but it's just about level looking at it with the naked eye. back sits .5" higher which is not very noticeable at all. Very easy to install if you know how to turn a wrench.

Does anybody have the alignment numbers handy after installing the leveling kit?

I am about a month in with a MotoFab 2.5” front level and love the stance of the truck. It was a toss up between the RC and MotoFab for me. No regrets either way.

What did you put on? Bilstein doesn't have them out yet.

Pics aren't the greatest - I ordered them for a 2018 Ram - they fit perfectly - they work on 2wd or 4wd trucks alike. They have the same strut setup up front. On the highest setting, 2.8, I only obtained 1.5" of lift. To the naked eye, it's about level. I like just a slight rake in the front. PM me if you have any questions.
