Lift build plan….input welcomed!

[DocNash]

So I have a ‘23 Bighorn 4wd w/ the 3.6L as I may have mentioned in other posts. I think I’m gonna go with Bilstein 5100’s front struts w/ clip in position 7 (2.6” lift) preassembled from Suspension Connection, Rough Country UCA’s, Bilstein 5100 shocks in rear w/ Eibach pro 1” lift springs. From what I’ve gathered, should clear 285/65R18, which are about 34.6”/11.5” r18, without rubbing. The other option is the Rough Country 3.5” kit w/ M2 monotube struts and shocks. Cost is virtually identical. Would prefer Bilsteins. Had them in my ‘17 1500 4wd and LOVED the ride. Also had no rubbing with 35” Generals. Thoughts?

Very interested in your post as I am trying to clear my 33.2” tires.

I have some parts coming in too..
Bilstein 5100 all around clip 5
Mopar 2” UCA
Mopar ORP spring for rear.

Did a whole lot of research on this lovely forum and it seems like this is the cheapest option.

Just can’t really confirm the part numbers but I ended up ordering them anyways lol hopefully the ORP springs can give me a 1” lift. If not I’ll probably go with Bilstein B12 since everything else is 2-3x the price in Canada.

Just looked on RealTruck.com, and the eibach 1” springs are 10% off Eibach PRO-LIFT Springs EIB-E30-27-011-01-02 | RealTruck

The Bilstein kit will give you the ability to accomplish a larger variety of driving options for the money. They are really great for towing and hauling.

WOW. That’s really good price!

B12 in Canada are $379.99 on Amazon and when I searched up Eibach, options were giving me $900/pair for some reason. Lol

I got them direct from Eibach for $225. They shipped that day.

I have Mopar ORP and UCA coming in tomorrow. If the ORP sucks then I’ll consider eibach or B12.

Is eibach better than B12?

Possibly. But I think the parameters for knowing for sure are too tight. I run Fox suspension and Fox uses Eibach coils on their coil overs so it makes sense that it would be a good match for me. I'm certain the Bilstein/Carli/Icon coils would do just as well.

285/65R18 is 32.6” tall. Did you mean 285/65R20?

If you do have 18” wheels, the closest sizes would be 295/70R18 (34.3”) and 285/75R18 (34.8”), and of course, a 35” tire (many of which are around 34.5”).

Agreed. The main issue I see, is the width. That’s where rubbing would occur. Lost 35’s are 12.5 wide, where as the 285/75R18 are about 11.5 wide. I’m guessing that would eliminate any rub
