ORP Springs + Leveling Kit on 2019 Ram 1500

[Grape_Ape]

Scott thanks for the post. Do you recommend getting the 2 inch Mopar UCA’s if I have the ORP and want to level it with the Bilstein’s to 1-1.5”? I don’t plan on lifting the rear right now. I figure I’m already starting out with plus 1 inch due to the ORP package.

New UCAs are generally recommended for anything 3"+.

Is that due to the strain on 4wd components or the suspension itself?

The short answer would be both. Anything above 3.5” should be a drop bracket lift because you are taking the stock geometry far from what Ram designed and that would place additional strain on all front end components. I would be highly suspect of what it would do to your cv axles as well.

I’m certainly no expert though, I just have my personal experiences. Ive had a 4wd truck in the past and I personally wouldn’t have done anything over 3.5” on it without going the drop bracket route.

I agree, the general consensus is over 3” you should be replacing the UCA. With the 5100s at 1.5” and the stock 1” of lift already on the truck you’re at 2.5”.

Switching out the UCAs though for the ones I mentioned in my previous posts certainly will not hurt. Since the UCAs I used were pretty budget friendly it is cheap peace of mind.

Looks good! What did you do in the rear for lift, the ORP springs too?

Truck came with the ORP. Just put the 2” spacer up front and the UCA’s. Had to verify with Zone that the UCA’s fit the 2020. I had them from my 4th Gen that I never installed.
Truck now sits perfectly level. I was gonna go with the 2.5” spacer with 1.5” in the rear but figured ide try this first. Just looks silly now with stock tires. 35’s next week and hopefully flip these tires to recoup so $.

I have the same BDS in Quad Cab. It goes in Tuesday for 2" Readylift front w/ UCAs and I am adding 1" rear. Unfortunately I think I'm going to be keeping the stock tires until they wear out. Do you have any pics on a level surface directly from the side??

Awesome! Thank you! Even though I want to add the tires now, I think I'm going to have to wait until spring

If it makes you feel any better I think I had to wait a month and half for my wheels and tires. But it was definitely worth it!

A little teaser, was too excited when they got delivered. Threw the rear 1” spacers on and installed the wheels. Definitely happy with the fitment. Originally thought I was gonna have too much poke. But just the right amount .

rear lift only took 1.5hrs.
Doing the front tomorrow

Didn’t put them on yet. Gotta lot of crap going on at the house at the moment. Decided against 35’s due to the close proximity of the stock tire and UCA’s. I’m keeping stock rims (love them!) and dont wanna run spacers.

Went with a 34” instead (275/65). Tires arrived the other day

A bit bigger than stock

Hopefully Monday I can get them put on. Tired of walking past them in the garage!

Do you have a picture of them infront of your stock tires? Thinking of going with this size as well

I saw that one, I meant to say a side shot of your truck with the 275/65 in front of your stock setup, Im trying to gauge how much more it fills up your wheel well
