Not sure yet what I want to do. To lift (using Bilstein B8 5100's) or to level (using Motofab 2.5" spacer)
1.. Which would be easier to install?
2. I would not do any off roading but do tow a camper. Which would give me the best ride?

I do have the ORP and would have a friend do the install for me.

Thanks for your advice! Well, maybe........... :unsure:

Spacers will be easier to install since you don't need to remove the spring from the shock. Bilstein's will give a better ride overall.

My 2" spacers should be arriving today, and I'll probably install them by myself. If I got shocks I'd probably take it to a shop since you have to compress the coils to get the shock out.

I put a ReadyLift levelling kit on my truck, rides just as smooth as stock no change and looks great!

I am new here, new to lifts and leveling. What will a leveling kit gain me for my 2019 Ram 1500 / How do I tell what size kit do I put on ? I measured front and back from fender to center of the axle and there is only 1" difference. I am assuming a 2' kit would be what I am looking for ? I would think the weight of the truck would sag the suspension 1". I don't wanna go real big on the tires, maybe go up a size or 2 from the original--275/55R20. Whats the biggest I can put on these stock rims ? Thanks for everyone's help...Gary
