BEST Lift Kit For Your TRUCK!!! *Confirmed*

[@christiantruther9367]

Zone is a great brand and company, I have a 6" suspension lift, then I added 5" rear blocks and cranked up torsion bars, now I have an 8" lift

[@jackwsandoz]

Really glad to see you point out the differences in the coil spacers. I've seen a ton of the cheapo sets where the coil looks like its just waiting for a dirt road, to come poppin outta there. If someone uses their truck in a way where coil spacers are all they need, cool! Just dont cheap out, GO WITH SOMETHING SAFE!

[@joemeier659]

when you say discounted, are you talking about rough country?

[@laurencehiggins239]

Last couple years RC has stepped up their game. A LOT of their truck lifts are made in the USA.

[@DDDYLN]

​@@laurencehiggins239 they definitely have, yet their prices are still quite low.

[@bigbobtrucks]

I need the link for this exact kit. Only finding a 2” kit from BDS

[@Jassman3536]

Check out Carli on your next lift...Far superior than anything else...Yes, more costly but they do tons of RD..Even their custom tuned Fox Shocks are way better. Good Luck with your truck...Looks Great

[@devonasher7857]

and you still get the same towing performance? im looking for a 5 to 6 inch that will keep as much of the factory ride and towing performance as possible i was looking at either the BDS or the pro comp stage 2.

I have respect for them too! Love seeing everybody’s style!

Hey Ryan what brand of rims are the best can you recommend a few please ??

[@j0909vfjklc]

Your truck is sweet looking. Love it

[@Furrygumball71]

What brand lift/tire size if I’m running 3:42 gears on RFE automatic to be safe? You say in a video 37s and 61/2” is preferable ....

[@ryan2546]

3.42 RFE UNTUNED 37’s you can get by with barely DEF NOT TO BE HOTRODDED THO, ideally the 68’s don’t like bigger than 35’s especially when tuned or hauling and big tire combo

[@Furrygumball71]

So what you’re saying is I should not lift my truck unless I change my gearing? I like to be more on the responsible side of things. Or is there another alternative, like a 4 inch lift and 35s say?

[@Furrygumball71]

I really want a 6” lift though🤬🤬🤬

[@Furrygumball71]

I’ve done some reading and I’m leaning towards 4:56 gears from Revolution to run 37s on a 6” BDS and adding an SSK style hood mod too. Any advice? ...2015 Ram 2500 Cummins 4x4

What is your caster setting? Any bow in the coils prior to alignment?

no love for Carli or Thuren?

[@jackwsandoz]

Carli & Thuren are def in a separate world from susp set ups that people use for on-road appearance. Seems like BDS is a really good company though. For just maintaining ride quality, they're probably a really good bet. Lifting a truck for aesthetics just wouldn't be for me though.

[@jamesharrison6871]

Whats the measurement to the bottom of your front bumper with that lift? Jus curious because I believe here in VA the limit is 30"... just wondering if I go with 6 inches if thats too much...

[@markmartinez6213]

James Harrison thanks for that info

[@marcwakeman3053]

Anything over 4 inches of lift and ram will try not to cover stuff unless it's a mopar kit they installed at the dealer. Has anyone ever seen or heard of anyone using this team of lawyers? I hope u dont really believe that. Gimmick like everything else. I have the same lift on my truck btw, I'm just being realistic and have dealt with these service departments for 15 years owning several of these trucks. Good luck, you will need it!

[@ttengineer404]

BDS and Zone are junk. Carli is the only way to go. For most people linear rate coils are fine. Progressive coils have their place on go fast rigs. If Carli is too pricy then go Thuren.

[@ryan2546]

Not saying those are bad company’s but Carli is pretty much an overpriced leveling kit, the fact zone and BDS offer dual rate coils no fine print warranty and all for more than half the cost and have amazing customer service SportTruck USA products all day long, like I said if you want a crazy SEMA show like truck, FTS, mcgaughys, cognitio, ect offer better products for the money, this is an all around best kit based on money, warranty, quality, design and install. Paying overpriced for a name isn’t the best kit for your truck

[@ttengineer404]

Ryan Mayer dude, calling carli an over priced leveling kit is the most ignorant thing I’ve ever read. You get new coils, drop brackets, new steering, AND King shocks. But hey if you never leave the road and want to drive a pavement princess then by all means go with zone or bds.

[@ryan2546]

TTEngineer every lift kit comes with all of that new everything, they can come with FOX or KING shocks like I said Every kit comes with new coils now it’s down to the quality, construction, price, customer service, options available. And IMO Sport Truck has way more to offer than Carli starting with the dual rate coils front and rear all they way down to the Heavy Duty offset radius arms or 4 link suspension whichever you choose. Then customer service from sport truck is beyond excellent. I install lifts for a living and I have installed almost every brand you can name. Not knocking Carli saying it’s a bad kit just saying for the value you get far more for a more reasonable price with a Sport Truck Product, customer service and warranty.

[@jackwsandoz]

Ryan Mayer Ohhhhh man, haha. I dont think BDS is junk at all butttttt comparing them with suspension set ups (like Carli/Thuren) that are meant to be flogged across the desert, makes me think you must not be real familiar with them. Carli's progressive coils (which I still have..) have really not proven as beastly as the newer linear rate coils paired with the King 3.5's and long arms. Thuren's coils are top notch and might be my next buy after some hydros. I dont see any desert racing teams running BDS coils in offroad races.. I won't argue that your set up isnt GREAT for the price, I totally agree. I mean hey, a v6 mustang could be a good deal for the $, IF it met your needs. As for summing up Carli as an overpriced leveling kit.. haha, yea they offer a leveling kit that's great if that's all you need but it also uses the same components (except the shocks of course) as their full builds. That may explain the price, and for me, that was a great way to piece it together as I could afford the various components. I know it costs exponentially more than something like BDS or Fabtech but again, it all depends what you're using the truck for. $20k in aftermarket is definitely overkill for most, agreed. Just don't bash it just cuz it's not what you're after.

[@tylermain3244]

Maybe BDS is ok but zone imo is crap. Yeah i know they owned by same company. Anything that uses shock extensions is garbage. Hard to work on, drop brackets for trac bar snapping. Extremely bad experience for myself. 6.5" zone on 2018 ram 2500. Contemplating ripping it all out......

[@ryan2546]

Shock extensions keep factory spec shocks with your upgraded suspension there’s nothing wrong with them if made correctly, not sure how it made your truck hard to work on either they’re all the same type of parts no matter what brand kit you get. Also not only is zone and owned by sport truck USA they use the same parts in either kits, bds just has extra options like 3 link and different radius arms or Coilovers.

[@tylermain3244]

Why wouldn't you just buy shock long enough and suitable for the lift? Kit has zone shocks with it, not stock/factory shocks. For the rear shocks, the top mount fits inside the frame and they are a pain in the ass to deal with. Fox 2.0 have a allen key slot in the top and stocks I've seen have a hex end for a wrench to hold the shaft in place while you tighten the top nut. The extensions on the end have nothing. Rear trac bar drop bracket snapped, pulling off the highway into a rest area also had to get shop to weld it up better. From my personal experience I'd go another route. I dont think i abuse my truck but i definitely don't baby it and keep it on the pavement.
