Please Help me decide.....Readylift 3.5" or Mopar 2" lift?

Stock struts aren't valved for preload so they get stiff, 5100's are correctly valved for the preload so ride would be better.

So technically if i removed my stock strut with preload spacer on my 3.5" lift kit and replaced with this, and left the strut spacer on to keep the same lift height, i would get a better ride on my front end?

Correct!
I did this on my truck. I installed everything that came with the readylift 3.5” kit expect the spring pre load spacers. I installed the bilstein shocks instead at a level 5 which equals to a 1.7” lift and with the readylift
2” top mount spacer it gave me 3.5” total lift.

the ride is good and smooth. Smoother than my 2” motofab leveling kit I had before.

I would like to know the exact bilsteins you got to go with the ready lift if you don't mind.

Yes just the front. I left the ready lift 2” on the rear

Thanks. I think I will order the fronts, since they are harder to change(meaning might as well while broken down), and the rears are easy to do later. My truck only has 300 miles, lol.

Highly recommend them smooth ride
broken down at 300 miles??
 
I'm still not sure if I wantr that or the mopar kit. So many mixed reviews. Mopar only gives 2, or is it slight more than 2?

I heard it’s only 2” so to me not worth it might as well do a 2” leveling.
 
Just ordered my Bilstein 5100's, so finally gonna install the RL 3.5" kit without the preload spacer w/ Bilsteins to get the rest of the lift. Install will be beginning of next month unless the world is shut down....
