What lift kit for ram 2500 Bilstein 2.3 lift springs or Thuren 2.75 lift the good bad and the ugly

What did you use to raise the rear?? Is it factory air ride? What's total height of truck pavement to tip of shark fin?

Yes mine is factory air ride. The kit I used comes with about a 2" air bag spacer and replacement airbag sensor rods to raise the rear - so part of the rear lift comes from the spacer and part from the air bags themselves due to the replacement rods. Those rods have 3 adjustment settings - low/ medium/ high that can be used to fine tune the total rear lift. I have mine on the highest setting to give a very slight rake. Overall height to fin top is +/- 86.5" (with 37's).

I helped a close friend install the bilstein 2.3" with reservoirs and it's a really nice kit. rides fantastic.

Does the Carli FOX shock require rebuild? I’m thinking the basic Carli leveling kit

Can you tell me what the height ended up being from the pavement to the top of the satellite antenna? Looking to do something similar.

I'm getting mine installed on the 3rd, 2.3 inch Bilstein leveling kit with the 35 inch ridge grapplers, I will let you know. My guess is you add the 2.3 inches, then the tires go from 33's to 35's, adding another inch. So over all 3.3 inches... just guessing lol.

I did the ICON 4 1/2" with 20" fuels +20 offset/ 37" grapplers on my rear air ride. Got tired of the wait. Reset the tire size w/ Hypertech device. No rubbing, issues or codes. Rides smoother than stock.
