The more I look at my truck, it still looks a little high in the front. I have RC pre load spacers and mopar UCA.
My current measurement shows about 1/4" rake.
What do you guys suggest for 1" of rear lift? I've looked and cannot find anything for the 19's unless I buy a whole kit. Thoughts?

I tried to find the thread but I can’t seem to find it, someone here added the 3.5 RC lift and felt the rear was too low so they added OEM rear springs from a truck with the OFF-ROAD package and that gave them an extra “1 of lift in the rear. I’m thinking about doing the same

The Mopar kit lists part numbers for the rearspacers. Maybe a dealer can get them.

Doing some quick searching, I believe those spacers from the mopar kit is 2". I'm really looking for a 1". So it's not as high as factory was.

Not sure but I think your ORP has longer strut or 1" spacer so if you get Mopar rear spacer and possibly strut, you will have a net gain of 1". Lose 1" from ORP setup and then add 2" from Mopar kit. Depends if your ORP uses a 1" spacer or longer strut. Maybe take a peek and see if there is a spacer or not.

Good call. I will have to climb under and see what I have going on.

I was the one that added the off road springs to the back of my truck with the rough country kit. There is no factory spacer in back for the off-road, just a longer springs. I think the rough country 3.5 kit rear spacer is only a inch, maybe they would sell you one! I attached pictures of my truck of before and after the rear spring swap

That looks great! That's about the amount of rake I'm looking for. I'll shoot them a email and see if they will sell just the tears.

Would you happen to know the part number or ordering info for the springs? I have the same lift kit as you and I also would like to bring the back a little higher

Greetings Hauny, I am resurrecting your October post! I too have the RC 3 1/2” lift and like it and have had no problems, however, like you I would like more rake to the truck. The front is too high for me or the rear too low, however you want to say it. I do not have the ORG. You are correct in that the RC lift is a 1” block on top of the rear coils. I have found a simple WULF lift which includes 3” spacers for the front struts (which I do not need) and 2” blocks for the rear. I thought about purchasing this and swapping out the 1” RC block for the 2” WULF block for the rear, hoping the WULF is a true 2”. The kit is $192usd. I see you went with a ORG spring swap. My question is how do you like it and what was the cost and availability of getting ORG rear springs? I like the way your truck’s rake is and is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for any help!

So far everything has been good since the swap! I work at the dealer so I get pretty good pricing on parts but I think I have $220 in the pair! I was surprised with how many spring configurations there must be, every vin I gave him for trucks with the off-road package came up with a different part number. So in my search I was able to find a twin equipped truck to mine, just with the off-road group and used that vin to order the parts! Hope this helps

My question is do you adjust the track bar angle with the rear lift with a track bar bracket? The mopar and other lifts I think come with the bracket.
