Wulf or Motofab 1/2" leveling spacers

[JerryBsizzle]

I have a 2019 Laramie 4x4 with the Off-Road package. I don't want to go a full 2" in the front to level it. 1/2" would certainly help, but 1" would be perfect. My question is do you see anything wrong with stacking two 1/2" spacers on top of each other. I would change out the 3 upper strut mounting bolts for some longer ones to give me enough threads to screw the nuts on. I want to do as minimal of suspension mods as I can, but there is just a little too much rake right now. Thanks.

You can't change the upper strut bolts because they are studs that are part of the upper shock plate. 1/2" spacers work because there is enough stud remaining to put the nuts back on, then it jumps up to 2" because the spacer is taller than the factory studs and the spacer has new studs to attach it back to the truck. Nothing really exists in between 1/2" and 2" for the ram because the way the shock mounts. I believe street rays has 1-1/2" spacer which some 2" spacers like the ready lift only nominally lift the front 1-1/2" even though its marketed as a 2 inch. As far as wolf or motofab it doesn't really matter as 1/2" spacers are basically just a piece of 5/16" thick flat steel.

I know what you are saying, however if you go look at the zone 2" leveling kit they have you swap out the bolts for longer ones. You have to dissamble the upper strut mount, which doesnt look complicated.

If you're going to disassemble the strut, you have several other options as well, can buy the front springs used on the off-road package trucks that will lift the front end 1", or the Billstein 5100 adjustable shocks should be out here in another month or so that give the option of adjusting the front end height in 1/2" increments. Unless your just trying to raise the front end up as cheap as possible the Billsteins would ultimately be the best option.

Yes I have the Off Road package, which is sort of why I'm trying to stay away from the 2"s. I wish Bilstein would give a firm date, and even then will they be available? Do they anticipate the mad rush?

OK, so any ride difference between stock and bilstein and stock struts ??

The bilsteins just came out. No one has installed them yet to comment on the ride. Historically the general consensus on the 5100 installed on all other models of truck, chevy, dodge, ford etc. is that they are an improvement over stock. not on par with CO replacements like Fox, King, or Icon, but better than stock. All depends on price point.
