Anyone that figures out where n when we can get our hands on a 6" lift PLEASE let us no.
I traded my lifted 18 Cummins in on the 2019 a week ago.
I was unaware at the time that there were sum suspension upgrades and YOU CAN NOT GET A DAMN LIFT ANYWHERE
 
A month ago i was at a Ram dealer buying accessories. They had a new 2019 Ram out front with a 6" lift. It was easily clearing the 37's on it. It looked like an angled spacer, drop radius arm brackets, longer shocks. I did not see what they did for Pitman Arm or Track Bar. One of the salesman said it was 6" (looked like it to me). None of the parts had a brand label on it, nor did he know. I put spacers, shocks, and airbags on mine from the previous generation Rams. i believe some lift parts are the same and others might be unique to the year depending on what kind of lift you want. Here is a pic i took of it.

I really wanted BDS for (durability). I'd take a Zone, Rough Country, even a super lift rite now.
The Only lift for a 19 2500 is a 10" or a 12" from McGaughey
 
I've been looking at websites every few days and have called every lift company I could think of. Sounds like it will be a few months. With the pitman arm being different I suspect that will take time as it's a cast part.

Howdy,
So with that setup and the Worx 812 clash satin in 20x10 -25, 35 12.50 nitto tires.

Any issues? I am asking because you have the -25 offset. Are the tires inside the wells? or out? Any turn rub or clearance issues?

I like the setup.
 
They stick out a couple inches. There wasn't any rubbing or clearance issues. I think ram tucked in the pinch weld on the 2019s to give us more turning clearance.

I had a 2.5 level kit, 20x10 wheels with 35s on my 18 RAM 2500.
I had to do sum trimmin on it. I hope there is a lil more room on the 19s.
 
I just had a good look with a tape measure at a 2019 Ram dually, Almost same spec as I ordered. Strictly to compare the lift kit components in my 2013 3500 dually (6 Inch BDS lift) the frame mount portion of the track bar had a much stronger bracket welded to the frame, but from what I can see my adjustable track bar from bds would bolt right in. (Measures in perfectly) the cheaper kits that use the drop bracket and the stock track bar don't look like they would clear. But as far as I can see it will work. I checked with bds a month ago and they didn't have a truck yet to be testing their kit on. Just called thurmen and they say their kit does bolt right in (They use an adjustable track bar as well) My new truck shows up in a week im told. I may order the 2018 kit and be the test mule here. But as far as I can see it will fit. (With the expensive, all in kit)
 
A local shop here in Oregon gave me some info about who has lifts. Rough country is still in development but couldn’t verify that they would have some thing compatible with the air suspension. Another shop said that the procomp lift is available now. I pick up my truck next week so I’ll be looking more soon as I have it.
Thoughts on the procomp lift?
 
Fyi in addition to the track bar frame mount being different, I'm hearing the pitman arm is different too.
