Well, my initial intention was to wait a while before I decided to level. Oh well. Here is my bright white fresh from the install. I haven't measured it yet but it looks fairly level. It drives just as good as before the level. It's a readylift 2' with UCAs.

I got mine last month. Even though I was in the Air Force. I really like my Spitfire Orange. Lowest volume color in the BTS lineup 500 being made.

Just picked up my Spitfire Orange a couple weeks ago

Retired Army here, missed the GATOR due to hunting for nonexistent RAM boxes. So that began the wait for the Marines TANK color. Worked out with the DECKED SYSTEM and really luv the TANK GREEN too ;-)

I know this is a few months old but did you point out their error? That would drive me absolutely nuts.

Yes i did immediately. It was only resolved after I dragged the dealer through the mud in a google review. My dealer is in a large Army town, the backwards flag did not go over well lol.

Guys .... My BTS Ram is in for the spring recall now as I type ... The dealer just called me and told me that an alignment isn't covered under the recall ... Even the service rep was surprised by this. They are changing the ride height of the truck (+1 inch) therefore changing the "Home" location of the suspension geometry, I cant imagine not checking the alignment after doing that. I am curious to know if anyone else has had this experience? I told them to align it ... I have had good luck with this dealer and I may find out later today that they just did it for free but we'll see. If they insist on charging I'll have to figure out where to go at RAM to dispute the charge ... my dealer has been good, they should get paid for the alignment by RAM as a part of their recall work ... I know this guy doesn't plan on paying for it!!!

Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi SnowRam,
Sorry for any inconvenience. The recall repair does include an alignment. Do you pay out of pocket for your alignment?

View attachment 100222View attachment 100223I got the Air Force billet silver with the same as you with the Ram Box/Multifunction tailgate/bed utility management. It was part of the package I was ambivalent about, that has grown on me quickly. I'm a Marine, got the sticker on the back so no one is confused.

How do you like the Fabtech kit so far? Was it worth the dough compared to say the RC kit? Thanks for the reply!
I wussed out and only went 3 1/2" lift.

The Fabtech rides nice. I went that route as I had Fabtech on an old truck and liked it. Time will tell I guess, but for now I am happy. I like your setup, I almost did the same for mine, and that color with those wheels is sick!

@HEMITKN , you’ve got to stop showing pictures of that truck. I get jealous every time I see it. It’s gorgeous.

I thank you kindly, very happy with the look and ride. Only second guess would be if the 18's with a little more offset would have been better. One more Eighty ;-) Thanks again!

@20GatorBTS yea Bilsteins or Eibachs are the way to go.

Check out this thread.

Built to Serve RAM 1500

PLEASE, select your color of Built to Serve and place one picture of the truck. All conversation about this thread can be hashed out in this one https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/official-built-to-serve-thread.21202/ Anything other than a poll vote and a pic of the truck will be moved...

It's mostly pictures of our trucks and you'll see mine and some others. Some guys have 34" and I'm still using my OEM until I've put more miles on em.

@Cbaker1990 it looked like you just quoted him. So I'm not sure if you had the same question.

Beautiful truck!!!

I have a 2020 Ram 1500 BTS with off-road group which means my coils front and back are 1" longer. If I use rough country 3.5 lift with lifted N3 struts front and I think it comes with 1" rear spacer lift?

So am I correct in saying that the front springs will be replaced with your N3 lifted strut at 3.5 front. The off-road group spring will stay in the rear plus your 1" spacer which will give me 2" in the rear of total lift with off-road spring. So essentially I would have 3.5 front and 2" rear. Is this correct? Thank you
