Hey everyone,

Couldn't find much for pictures showing a Motofab 2" FT / 1.5" Rear spacer kit installed, so I figured I'd post a couple up just in case anyone else was interested. Forward rake is about 1", which is what I was hoping for since I tow with the truck.

** First picture is stock, the rest are after the Motofab lift **

Looks good. I went with the motofab 2” and then ordered a 1” spacer for the rear to get a little rake back.

How is the ride? I always hear everyone dog the space that goes on top of the strut vs one that requires disassembly and goes on top of the spring...

Obviously ride quality is a bit subjective in regards to what everyone describes/observes, but overall it is still very similar to stock. I've noticed a slightly stiffer ride over bumps in the road though. As a comparison, this truck still rides smoother/softer than my 2015 Ram 1500 with air suspension did though.

Yes, it sits at the bottom.

Thanks, eric. I just bought a 1.5" motofab for the rear, trying to figure out if it is the same as the 4th gens, which i think it is. Do you have any photos of the kit ?

I don't have any photos, but yes it is the same one as the 4th Gen kit. I ordered off of Amazon, but reached out to Motofab prior to ordering. They confirmed it was the same kit.

Did you do new UCA's too?

I didn't change out the UCA's. After seeing that they were the same as the UCA's used on the air suspension setup, I elected not to change them. After install I felt comfortable with ball joint and overall angle. But, I don't have the ORG option, so it's just 2" over stock ride height.

Yeah I dont have ORG either. I bought the Motofab 2" Level Kit but didnt have it put on yet was getting opinions from everyone on here before deciding if I should do UCA's. So far no one has said I need them with the 2" so I am going to go ahead with the install in the next week or two.

I'm just very cautious because when I purchased my truck I had to have the ball joint replaced since it was defective from factory. Just nervous about another mishap that could be caused by me this time.

Yeah I hear ya, I tried to dig through this forum quite a bit on deciding whether I needed new UCA's as well. The water got muddy as well in regards to what, if anything, was different in regards to stock UCA's versus the Mopar 2" Lift UCA's.
