Mopar 2" Lift...am i dumb??

[HSKR R/T]

I want a 2" lift for my Ram 1500...Am i dumb for wanting to spend the money on a mopar 2" lift? Is there a beter option? Just wanting the best ride and warranty integrity.

As long as you understand, even using the Mopar lift, it will still effect your suspension warranty. Most Mopar parts only come with a 12 month warranty, and that's only when installed by dealer. The "factory" warranty on the parts replaced is gone. Doesn't matter what kit you go with.

I'll try and let you know this weekend if you haven't already done something. I'm having the kit and new tires installed today.

Here you go. So far I'm really happy.

Looks good! How do you like the ride?

Now I remember why I went to 18” wheels on my Tundra…maybe I need to do the same with my Ram…those look very good on that truck!

So far I'm really pleased with it. A little improvement on the highway and a lot of improvement in the mountains.

I'd suggest Bilstein 6112/5100F/5100's R along with their rear coils or ICON coils and call it a day. No need to upgrade UCA's either. I ran this exact setup a couple times a rode great!

How is your mileage? Tire make much noise?

How is your mileage? Tire make much noise?

If you are looking to put a lift on it and bigger tires, I would try and move past the mileage concern. You are def going to take a hit for sure. I am getting about 17 mpg on the highway if I am lucky lol. There is a little diff in road noise but I more from the tires. Here is my setup too.

 

[Rightside]

I understand that part of it, just trying to minimize it. Not looking for a loud tire either.

Not dumb at all. Its a normal and pretty popular level man. thousands of people have it and nothing wrong with it. havnt read or heard many complaints at all from the Mopar strut level. I personally went with Bilstein 6112 strut and spring in front and 5100 shocks in rear. and the ride quality actually got better, as well as the look! i absolutely love it.

Stock

...figured I would update you on the 3.5" ReadyLift. It performed good in the mountains last week and still rides like stock. The stock shocks leave something to be desired but I knew that going into it.

I am running 35" Nitto Recons...almost silent on road, very good traction off road, and seem to be very tough.

No noise from the Recon?

 

[H2OMAN]

I would rank the Recons a step up over the KO2's. It's a modern computer generated tread that is a great AT.

No noise from the Recon?

When I aired down to 20 psi, they made a slight hum on pavement. When running 40 psi, they are as quiet as the stock tires were.

I have run KO2's for decades and they have been my preferred AT tire, but BFG is pricing themselves out of the market. I paid almost $100 less a tire for the Recons for both my Gladiator and the RAM. In my opinion, the Recons have slightly less wet road traction, but slightly more off-road traction than the KO2s and are tougher.

KO2s are a bit outdated. They are releasing KO3s officially soon.

Also the overland/ offroad craze starting at 2020 allow them to go high up on the pricing too

Quiet as stock? That’s quiet.

I really want the 2" Mopar lift kit for my 23 truck, but I've called several local dealers here in Socal and the labor cost alone is around 2k! Not sure it's worth it with that high cost of labor. I'm ok spending around $1,800 for the parts, but man, labor is killer!

what kind of labor/install prices have people seen for that kit at the dealer?
