Hey is there anyway you can get me measurements from the ground to the fenders with your new lift?? I just ordered a 2019 and want to get to 39 or 40 inches both front and back. Seems like 3.5 inch would be awfully close! Your truck looks great! Did u not like the 4x4 decals?

Stock was 36.5" or so front 39.5 rear
Level was 37.750 or so front 39.5rear

Now with 3.5" r.c lift
The front sits at 39.875"
Rear 41.625"

Once bigger tires go on this will raise some too..

And yea I didn't like the decals, came right off with a blow dryer then peeling..

Not related to your lift but what kind of nerf bars are those? I just ordered the Westin Pro Traxx 4 stainless steel oval nerf bars for mine.

Here u go. Cheap and good quality. I had them on my 4th gen for 5 years and they were still in good shape when I sold it!
Dealer wanted 700 for the cheapest ones they had lol and the electric ones are nice but I like the look when they show out also

Get you a good impact to install the nerfbars, and paint stripper or a die nut to clean the threads on the body bolts u will reuse. Install if fairly easy took me 1 hr
 
So I think stock mopar ram nerf bars will fit from a 2013 Ram? On the new 2019?

It will depend on where the mounting holes line up. I haven't compared 4th gen to 5th gen. Keep in mind the cab for the 5th gens is longer, so if you use steps from a 4th gen they may not be long enough at the back of the cab or the actual footstep may be at the wrong spot.
 
I bet I can get away with a 36 or 37 with minor rub or slight plastic trim
