What are people using for leveling/lift kits?

[Rockcrawlindude]

I’m not saying it’s a bad kit. It’s a great kit. But, it’s not for me. I keep adding weight to my truck. I will be keeping the heavy factory springs.

i am the same i will be putting a 1" in the rear only because with the snow chief i have some extra height in the front and i want more rake for when im towing the gooseneck and 5th wheels it does not look level with minimal load

Snow Chief sits higher in the front than other Rams? I do remember reading somewhere that the spring rates up front may be different.

Yep from what i can tell my front end is about 1.5” higher than a couple friends trucks one is a gasser one is a cummins both without plow pkg and both sit lower

You only lose payload if you put the rear springs in. And the ride quality improvement is worth it to me. I can't justify spending 90k on a truck and putting a 2 inch piece of metal that costs $80 on top of my already c*ck stiff stock springs. That's just me.

These trucks ride like caddys compared to any other 3/4 ton i have owned i just went from a 1ton with over load springs i cant believe how nice of a ride this has from the factory.....

I agree 100%. At least until you hit a large bump, dip, or try to make a quick emergency lane change. The Carli Suspension on my old truck saved me a couple of times from some of the unattentive drivers here in SoCal. I was surprised a lifted truck handled better than stock.

If I was going to tow much though it would be left mostly stock suspension.

Thats why i have a 3/4 ton and one tons they get worked hard

Placed my order for the Traxada 1” front lift.

Got the Traxada 1” in the mail today. Looks like it’ll do the job. If I don’t go wheelin this weekend I may install them.

if i can get the measurements then i can just make a set on the cnc plasma

Do you need an alignment done with only 1” lift?

Yea, anytime you change the geometry. I’ll do it at home after I install it

I got my 1.75" level and waited a week for new tires, then I leveled it with the new tires.

Any update on the Traxada 1" spacers? Install experience, ride quality difference, alignment, pictures, etc.

They’re still sitting on my workbench, unfortunately.

I looked at the Traxda 1" way back when I bought my '19. I'll be waiting for a report on feelings after install. I think it would be a good inexpensive option and leave my truck still level when towing. Actually can you say it sux so I can justify the Thuren setup??

I’m sure it doesn’t suck. It will ride the same, it’ll just be a hair taller than it is up front.

I just wanted to gain a little more back than what I lost with my bumper/winch and keep at least one inch of rake. This ticks those boxes perfectly.

I went with the 5.5 inch BDS, kept the standard NX shocks as ill do fox duals later on. I dont really offroad much but I enjoy the visuals of a lifted truck.
