You should have about a half inch if I'm thinking about it right. Maybe a little more. I'm at 2.8" up front and just the regular ORP springs in the rear for 1" and I think I'm at a half inch. So you may be closer to 3/4 of an inch.

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
Have tha same lift and yes
I have the RC 3 1/2 lift with coils and its a half an inch max.

Thanks for all the help I appreciate it. I actually wish they had a 2" for the rear but I guess you can only get a 1" with that lift anyhow.
Dealer did mine at purchase and we did talk about slightly longer springs don't remember the company though. I am quite happy with the level stance, just didn't want the "Cali rake" nose high. Which happens if you don't have the OR springs I was told.

I installed a little anti bling today. Put on the AJT shift knob and volume covers. They are spendy but look pretty damn good.

Do you have a current pic wit all the tint? I'm thinking of tinting front windows and windshield. Any visual impediment at night?

35% on windshield, 20% film on all other windows, making the factory tinted windows 5% total. No issues at night with the factory LED headlights.

Some one posted these vinyls decals a couple weeks ago. Mine came in today. I was nervous about the greys match. I guess I’ll wait and see once they fully adhere. Nice BTS touch I thought tho
How hard was it to apply the decals? I bought some but am nervous of ruining the decals.
Any tips?

all the decals that i have applied i use a soapy solution ( just like when you apply PPF) to move the decal in the location you want and then dry up the excess with a paper towel and then let it dry in place . also works good when applying those little registration tags to your license plate (y)
good luck

Definitely clean the area with alcohol first and let it dry. Then you use soapy water on the area and the vinyl to move it into place. I then used a hairdryer and a credit card to smooth out any bubbles. Make sure you smooth the bubbles out gently to start. There are also some good videos on YouTube. Just take your time and it should be good.
