Official Built to Serve Thread

I've owned my truck since new and it is one assembled with the incorrect springs. After back and forth with three dealers in two states, and seeing some of the trouble (shocks/struts) people had after they got the new springs...I decided to wait until my original tires were decently worn before doing the spring swap... I planned to add the mopar 2" kit and get bigger tires. After they did the inspection the dealer finally ordered the replacement springs. I requested the mopar lift be added and but he needed additional time to calculate the labor for adding the 2" at the same time. A week later he quoted $1,600 just for the labor to install the kit at the same time they did the springs, stating that the UCAs had to be replaced and that takes a lot of time.

I went with a Rough Country 3.5" and 35" KO2s from a reputable local shop. After install my truck sits 1" lower in the rear, like others have mentioned in this thread. I went back to the dealer and asked if they could either swap rear springs or just sell me the rear springs. They said NO to both...even said they couldn't look up the correct part numbers for the rear springs. Thanks to the users here that did all the research early on and listed the shock part number chart...I ordered the rear shocks online and will have the local shop that did the lift swap them out.

RAMCARES - I love the truck but your service in the field really needs help...I paid out of pocket to correct a factory mistake.

It sounds like your dealer really didn't want to install the Mopar kit. My dealer installed my ReadyLift leveling kit with UCA's for $387 including an alignment.

My dealer was weird about it too. When I got the spring replacement done they agreed to install my Eibach shocks for free but when I asked them to also do my UCAs they wanted several hundred dollars. It's somewhere in the thread but I think they said $5-600. I would've gladly paid or tipped the tech $100 but $500 for 4 bolts was ridiculous.

Good morning! I just found this forum.

I got a 2021 BTS back in May. Silver and I love it!

A few modifications I'm considering making:
1) 2" Level kit
2) Fender flares that match the bumpers
3) Bigger tires (should I go with 33" or 35"?)
4) Steel front bumper with a bullnose guard (a lot of deer around but I don't want to cover up the grill)
5) Roll bar

Any thoughts?

Keep the flares body color. Don't want to make it look like a Warlock.

Level and 35's should fit depending on width. You may need wheel spacers for clearance on tires when turning if you go with a 12.5 width

2" level might end up nose high, but measure your front and back - not all trucks measure the same - I did 1.5" adjustable level struts (you can do Bilstein's, Eiback or Belltech)
tires - 33" are nice, 34" better and you can still find one or two non LT
roll bar - just my opinion - yea they kind of look cool but at the same time remind me so much of the chevy avalanche look which I hate

Vent shades are great, I like the shape of them. Are those factory tires with that edition?

those look like the ko's 2 so no, factory tires are falken wildpeaks
the rims are specific to the BTS edition

So I did some work while I was on vacation:
Put Bushwacker pocket fender flares on, added a 2" level to the front, and got 35" tires. See pic!

Can someone provide the overall height for the BTS editions or confirm it's the same as a comparable Big Horn?

It's the same height as any other Bighorn that has the ORP package.

Or if 2wd, then a 2wd Bighorn

How would one find height with ORP?

You have a 2021, if it's 4x4 then it has ORP. Use a tape measure.

 

[Bpebler]

Damn that Destroyer Gray color looks so damn good on these trucks.

 

[bcwood64]

With the stock ORP that comes with the BTS, do you have any rubbing issues? I'd like to go one size up in tires from the stock size.

Shouldn't have any issues going up to 275/60/20 iirc from research on the forums. 275/65/20 (34x11.50) is safe with a level and stock wheels. When you get up to the wider tires like a 35x12.50 on stock wheels you can run into some rubbing issues and clearance with the UCA.

Nice. I'm gonna be adding passive entry to my truck in the future.

Any luck with this? Looking into doing it, only thing I’m having trouble with is finding the mat black door handles with the passive entry. Let me know if you have any tips.
