Suspension Opinions needed

[GoRamGo]

Hello I have been reading a lot about suspension through this forum and am going to finally be getting my items installed in two weeks I would like to just get opinions from people with similar builds on the best way to go about lifting and netting around 3 inches I have a crew cab 1500 non orp. Items that I have right now waiting for installation are as follow front and rear billstein 5100s, icon rear springs and mopar ucas I appreciate any info and or input

I have all of the same parts going on tomorrow morning. Bilsteins will be set to #5. Keeping stock wheels and upgrading to 35x12.5 KO2s. My truck is a non ORP big horn. Ill post pictures and thoughts on it tomorrow after i pick it up.

Don’t think you’ll need the UCA’s

Add the OPR springs setting 5 on bilstein will get you 3in. I did do 2in spacer rear. Stock tires 275x65x18

Are the ORP springs for the front sorry im new to trucks and all that as of right now i have 33s on a 20 inch rim

Yes add the OPR springs to the front. That will give you another 1in. So bilstein setting 5 with the opr springs should get you 3in . That's what I did

how is the ride since changing

 

[ff13375]

The ride is definitely stiffer but I don't mind it. To me feels like how a truck should. For now I also kept my stocked wheels. I got around 3 1/4 front bc I have a V6.

Are you a little nose high or is it the picture

When leveled these trucks look nose high but they are not.

Just picked up my truck from install. Looks amazing, rides nice just a bit little stiffer. So I had the bilsteins installed at position 5 in front, mopar 2" kit UCAs, bilsteins in rear with icon 1.5" springs. Tires are BF Goodrich KO2s 35x12.5x20
measurements:
stock suspension and tires
FRONT: 21.25" from center of hub to middle of fender
REAR: 23.25" from denter of hub to middle of fender
W/ Bilsteins and new tires
FRONT: 23" From center of hub to middle of fender
REAR: 24.75" from center of hub to middle of fender
Does not appear to be any rubbing, granted i have only driven about 2 miles since picking it up. Will update as i put some more miles on her.

No, the shop didn't mention if they were needed. Angles look great though, peace of mind is nice as they only cost $100.

I will have to try and upload photos tomorrow but so I got mine done looks perfect like what I wanted and honestly to me rides smoother I ended up doing my kit with billsteins front and rear motofab 2 inch top hat spacer 1.5 inch rear icon springs and the mopar lift kit UCAS all together I netted about 3.4 inches in the front and 1.5 in the back
