It's good to see more and more brothas out there driving lifted trucks. I'm like one of the only few in Delaware that buy, fix up, and own lifted trucks as a hobby. I had an old 3inch Rancho lifted Chevy K-5 Blazer with 35inch ProCmp tires, 11inch lifted blacked-out Ford Excursion with 38inch toyo tires, 6inch ProComp lifted Toyota FJ Cruiser with 35 inch tires, in which I bought stock then had it lifted, 2 second generation Dodge Rams in which one had 37inch Super Swamper IROC's slapped on 17ich OEM wheels, the other had 40inch Mickey Thompsons slapped on 22inch Fuel wheels, and the most recent black 2005 Hummer SUT with a 6inch Fabtech lift, with 38inch Toyo tires. Fun, fun, fun!
Wow you have been having a lot of fun lol! Once I was able to get all my ducks in row with my career and everything I always wanted a truck that looked like a truck lol so I had to lift this Ram. It has been fun owning it and I am hopeful to have future truck projects. You never know, Chevy & GMC may step up their game and I'll pick up one of those down the road. With all your experience, which lift manufacturer do you feel is the best based on having a decent budget? Thanks for the kind words and please subscribe if you haven't already.
Come to texas…we out here
That’s the same truck I’am looking to get very soon 🤔. Your set up is perfect to me personally. This is great information as well. Definitely appreciate it👌🏽
So far as for suspension, this man is on bags (air system) it your have shocks/coils your going to feel a big difference. Also i agree on the part where you need to balance your wheels, speed wobbles are no joke. I also agree with the issue of constantly needing a alignment, your best bet is to do what i did. If you leave near a firestone, ask about a lifetime alignment and they will put your vehicle in the system and all firestones with take care of you. it's expensive at first but the money you save from not needing to pay for it will save you. He is 100% correct about the road forced balancing that ish ain't no joke. Great video and please listen to this man he ain't lying
Alignment
Great video dude ,exactly the information I was hoping for. That truck is smoking hot too, great taste!
Man I dig it. That color is killa. Been staring at those wheels for some time. I just picked up a 2022 Rocky Ridge and it is fun to drive.
Thank you and thanks for watching.

Beautiful truck, good luck building your channel I’ll be watching
@ Ricky Hicks .... Thank you for the kind words. I will be working on it.
This video has helped me immensely.. I have a 2020 limited.. I’m trying to decide between bds or the lift u have.. also between 24x14 vs 24x12.. I want my truck to to look just like urs.. bad ass truck bro💯💯
Go BDS. I just installed the BDS 6" Fox Adjustable coil over with 20" Fuel Rebel wrapped in 37" Nitto Ridge Grapplers
Like the wheel and tire choice. Looks like a beast.
Beautiful build bro, thanks for the informational video!!

Hey what’s up man? What brand lift kit do you have on your truck and how many inches does everything come included in the kit? Do you have the serial number or the number to the lift kit? I think the most you can lift is 5 inches anything higher than that you have to take out the air suspension, right if I was to go with the 5 inch lift kit and I wanted to lift it another inch in the front is that possible or drop half inch to an inch in the back so it could be offset you think it’s possible
Just got the 5 inch rough country for mine along with 22x10 -24 wheels. This is an awesome looking truck and now i cant wait to get mine done
@ dave That's great. Your offset on the wheels and wheel width should make things go smoothly. If you make a video of it let me know.
@@wegotoptions9927 i dont make videos for you tube unfortunately but if you have instagram i will send you pics. Im having everything installed march 16th

What kind of wheels are you going to throw on?
@@snowram22 I have some Brand New TIS 544 BM 22X12-44 with 35x12.5 Terra Hunter MTs but I think I'm going to sell them and go with a 20 inch wheel and 35 inch tire set up instead.
@@rodneyn.7015 hell yeah. I think that’s the route to go. That’s what I did. I actually put 35’s on my factory 22’s and it looks dope! I have pictures on my channel if you wanna see it.

Thanks for the kind words. When I saw the plate I had to grab it! Please subscribe if you haven't already.
Hey Bud, New subscriber to your channel. Nice rig! I hear you on what your pointing out in this video lol. Last Fall i installed new 37x13.50's on 24x14 wheels and its a new learning curve and you have to be aware of where you go and how you drive not having much sidewall. I had metal/plastic trimming on my original setup with a 6" Zone Offroad lift on 37's in 2017 on my Ram 1500 sport, Now i had more trimming to fit this setup and i still need more trimming and im running a 6" suspension and 3' body lift now. Im also running balance beads, I was told to go with the beads But im also running 37" tires.
Yes lifted trucks are expensive and your never done adding to them lol. I actually took out 2 different truck accessory loans a couple years apart which you can go hog wild buying whatever you want to put on the truck. Im still not close to being done. This summer i already have a bunch more things that need to go on and things i still want to order. This truck will easily exceed 80+K from the $53K sticker and all my upgrades. I do wish it was a 5th gen. I also have the electric drop steps and absolutely love them on a lifted truck. Hit me up at jdeeress@yahoo.com if you might need help with any of my ideas and upgrades i added or will be adding. I also switched all my lights to 5th gen style. Retroshopus.com does awesome work. Im hoping to start a youtube channel also and to feature my rig in some videos.
Hello and welcome. Thanks for watching the channel and subscribing! I hope to see you on here soon. I'll reach out with any questions.
bro if you gotta take out a loan to lift your truck...dont lift your truck. you cant afford it
Ive got the 2019 limited with a 6 inch lift and 33s about to move to 37s. Anytime you lift anything its gonna make a difference with everything driving. Love the truck man looks good maybe a little bigger tires but its your truck homie, do you.
Just subscribe and so far enjoy your videos. I want a ram similar to yours and a hellcat. Keep up the good work
Thanks for your support as well as the kind words.
This truck looks amazing. Hopefully you figured it all out bro
Good looking truck. I have a 2021 Ram Rebel that I’m about to put a 6” lift on with 37” tires on 22” wheels

Your ride is slick that’s the look I want
Thank you so much for this Vid.. it helped me to make my choice of tires and rim Plus Lift. Are the Tires Muds or All terrain?
Man great video!! I have the same truck - the air ride. Lifting my truck with a 6 inch lift next week.
@Fishing with Tommy Boy Thanks for the compliment and congrats to you getting ready to lift the truck!
man I wanna see that. are you using the rough country?
Get BDS best lift in the market.
Went with rough country
Not sure how to upload a picture
Great looking truck!!
Thank you sir!
I have a 4 inch rough country lift on mine, but it’s a 2015 ram 1500. Did you ever have any vibration between 65 and 70 mph on highway after lifting it? Mine does. I’m not sure if it’s the tires or drive shaft.
Enjoy your videos and especially your demeanor , even with the negative comments . I have a 21’ Laramie same color with 20”s and only a basic level on the front . Just did a kicker KS speaker swap and adding a a JL 5 channel amp and 1 - 12” sub . Thank you sir , keep doing you 👍🏼
Thanks for the encouragement and kind words. Congrats that's a nice truck you selected. I was on the fence about installing a Fox Box ported subwoofer box with one 12" Alpine Type S woofer. Fox Box requires that you lift up the back seats about a 1/2", cut your floor mats, and there is a special signal connection device that is needed to make everything work from what I understand. Just curious what type of sub box you went with. Was it sealed or ported and did it fit under the seat without affecting access to your floor compartments? What was the cost for that setup?
@@wegotoptions9927 , sealed … I don’t like the howl of ported boxes
@@kalidad1 Ok, I understand.
I want to get my first truck but the more and more I do my homework on this things. I’m 50/50 on getting one now so much BS on lift and after market rims. I wanted to go 22” rims on 35’s and a 3.5” lift.. still investigating 👍 also no one speaks on how long the tires last on off roading or just your typical daily driven truck from home to work..
@ akeyno gaming I do drive my truck almost daily but not that many miles. I've driven maybe 4,000 miles on my tires since July 2021 and they still look basically brand new with the little whiskers showing in different areas. I do not go off road or in the mud. Also, I do not spin tires or anything like that. The truck shop stated that I should probably get 30K to 40K miles on the tires so they'll last me several years based on the current driving patterns. I got 60K miles on 50K mile Michelin tires before so I believe I drive carefully lol. If you drive differently, then you can get different results.
I'll do a video on the tires soon
Man it’s your truck or will be just do what you want to it ! Everyone will have a different opinion rock out with what you like :)
About the best truck I done seen on here
That brake sensor fks me up everytime 😂. Im use to old skool but when it does that scares me everytime
Right on for the info bro 😎
Thanks for watching
Nice truck,i have a 2020 1500 classic 3.5 lift do you do any hauling? I haul a inclised work trailer no problem pulling it is a smooth hauling truck but with my lift it sure squats my ass end down
Awesome video! Awesome truck!
@Biff B Thanks for the words of encouragement!
Yeah them drive thrus be getting me i just run the curves over i have a lot more rubber than rim so i dont worry about scuffing my rims
Thanks for the video nice ride.

Good morning. Still enjoying your videos. Wanting to know, as of now, are you still satisfied with you Rough Country lift kit? I'm trying to decide between RC and BDS Lift kits.
Nice truck my brother! I have the same truck. I have a 6 inch lift and I’m running 22x12 -44 hostile rims wrapped in a 35x12 12 1/2 tire.
The only run I get once in a blue moon is when I’m backing up on full lock depending on how even the surface.
I had some trimming done when the lift was installed. There’s was still a little rubbing. In the end I removed the front valance and the break damper and there’s no run at all. Removing the front valance also makes the truck look a couple of inches higher too.
Ok, nice. Sounds good. I definitely get some rubbing at full turn with 12 wides and -44 offset.
Big help! Thank u!
I just subscribe because of the song in the intro , all praise to the most high

@@wegotoptions9927 I agree !!!
But love the look of your truck nice set up
Love the lifted look, but from what I understand, unless the lift is done by authorized dealer using Mopar approved parts, the warranty is void. Most dont care after three years but since my truck is warranted for 7 years or 85K miles.....I won't be lifting anytime soon. Got the 2021 Lariat Night Edition with 6,800 miles so far & the ride parallels any Cadillacs or Lincolns I have owned over last 30 years even at 85MPH.....but That truck looks mean though......damn.
I bought my 2019 1500 ST night edition
I rather level it and still put 35”.
Lifting just speeds up the process of damages sadly :(
I’m feelin the rims though
Dude hell yeah man!
I appreciate it!

Great video 👍 thank you
I saw a truck in my mall parking lot today same rims and same. color. I was like noooooooo. there's no way! lol. then I realized they had 22's lol I just added a leveling kit to mine. debating if I should do a lift or not! I'm pretty fresh to RUclips as well... getting used to posting videos and what not! but I like your channel bud.
@SnowRam22 Lol I know what you mean about the truck. I have seen any in my area exactly like mine with that Granite Metallic Color, night edition, 24's, and a lift either. Congrats on starting your channel and thanks for the kind words.
@@wegotoptions9927 I appreciate it man, and no problem! take a look at some of my vids and let me know what you think, I would love some feedback!

Wow that's crazy you still get some rub with that lift and the air bags alao
excellent video. Thank you
Got the same wheels on my 18 silverado I love em

I have a 6inch lift on my 2002 ram with a 3inch body lift my keys are cranked up and i go through so many cv axles smh but i just got a 2020 i dont think ima lift it if i do maybe a leveling kit they can be costly
Beautiful truck man.
Thanks I appreciate it! Please subscribe if you can!
Clean af
👍👍❗ thanks for the info i have "Air' on my also👍
That's cool. I just filmed a new video about the lift that should be posted within a day. Check it out.
I have a 6 inch lift on my 2020 Bighorn. Rough Country is the best lift for the money. It comes with way more components than BDS. All I did though was upgrade to coil overs to smooth out the road. You don’t buy a truck to complain about the gas. Most truck owners have a car for that.
Thanks for sharing. I agree about the gas mileage because I do not even drive that many miles. The Rough Country lift has been fine. Please subscribe if you haven't already!
What size rim and tire setup do you have?
Mannn I have the same truck in black. Buy yours is nice bro. You gone make me go in my bag and lift my truck.
@Bucball72 Lol you should lift it. Thanks for the shout out and please subscribe if you can!
Great video and dope rig man. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for watching, supporting and sharing your comments!
Thanks for making the Video I've been waiting for more references before lifting my limited 1500. Did you go with the Rough country 5inch lift or the BDS 4inch lift. I have my tire and rims dimensions locked in. I want to go with the 5 inch but I’m worried about the reputation of RC. Never had a lifted truck before so I'm soaking it all in.
@ Avan Leday I was on the fence between Rough Country or BDS and ended up going with Rough Country. It was recommended to me by three different local shops. I drive my truck on paved roads 95% of the time so there are no plans to go "off roading." If you go off road a good bit and will hit the trails hard then maybe BDS would work better but I cannot say for sure.
I am pleased with the 5 inch lift from Rough Country. I need to do a video on the type of lift I have. They have their warranty stated on their website so that can help you decide as well.
A video on the lift would be great!
Yes, I am going to work on it very soon. Thanks for your feedback.
@@wegotoptions9927 u mentioned covid...covid is/was a total fraud...wake up my brother
I been running a Zone offroad 6" lift which is the sister company to BDS and i love it. Im running 37's on 24x14's, my first setup was 37's on 20x10's. Ive done 75-90 mph at times and my truck handled awesome.
That’s that was helpful!
Man I’m not a big fan of huge wheels on lifted trucks. But damn that thing looks good. Can’t wait to get my Laramie
Thanks for the compliment. The truck came with 22's from the factory and these current wheels are 24's. They looks more like 26's though. Did you order your truck already?
@@wegotoptions9927 no I have not yet, as I was told by local dealer that there was no orders going through for Laramie(for some reason). It’s actually good as I am still going back and forth between Laramie and Rebel.
@@vincealince_SRT Ok. If you are interested you could talk to some other dealers farther away at least to confirm that is the same for all dealerships. I had to drive about 150 miles to get a great deal on my truck.
@@wegotoptions9927 yeah, luckily I have a good business relationship with this dealer in CA. As I’ve purchased 2 vehicles through them. I’ll be on lookout for the videos you drop

Hey man, you just gained a new subscriber! Awesome truck and thank you for all the information. I do have a question….are you still able to control the height of the truck after the lift? Essentially does your air ride factory button still work and lift the truck even higher or lower?
Hi. Thanks for supporting the channel! Yes, the air ride does still function at each level.
Guessing it still resets to drive height if going over 25 mph.
(stupid safety feature, if you ask me.)
@@Hydra360ci Hi. Yes, it lowers somewhere between 20 & 25 mph down from Off Road 2.
That truck Straight pressure .. what tires you running? Got any recommendations on brands ? I have the same truck and plan on getting the same lift.
@ Moreno_ty Thanks for the compliment. I did not want to go any bigger than a 35" tire. The bigger name brands did not have a tire that would work with my 24's. There was a fuel tire 35x13.5x24 but the first set had a bad tire in it. Therefore, the shop recommended I try Venom Terra Hunter R/T+ in a 35x12.5x24. I put almost 4,000 miles on them since summer and they are doing good. I am pleased.

Your balance they done is called static balance not road force. Road force is a machine made by Hunter. It has a wheel on the wheel balancer that just measures the total run out. The Hunter balancer also has a feature called smart weight that is designed to save the company with the machine money on wheel weights. Static balance is what you have that is where they add the weights in the center of your rim. Any off road, alterain , or large tires will be done in static balance because the call for so much weight to put weights on in the dynamic mode of the balancer. For instance dynamic weights go on each side of the rim and larger wheels might call for 6oz on the one side and 4 on the other but in static mode it may only call for 5oz in the center of the wheel. Do this balance is like the old style bubble balance that was done in the late 80’s and earlier years. Only thing is now you have a machine that tells you the weight instead of guessing. I build and repair these machines for a living so that’s how I know about it and with weights in different spots of your wheel is call counter balancing. So you might have 3oz in one spot but when you do your check spin it might tell you that you need to add more weight in a new spot.
Wow, thanks for the information. Maybe they called it road force but did something else. I specifically asked for it at the shop. I need to read up on it more before the next wheel balance. Please subscribe if you can!

Did you void your warranty by lifting your truck…. I have a 2021 ram 1500 and I was thinking about getting the 3.5 ready lift put on mines
@Kevin Killings My truck has not been back to the dealership since I lifted it this summer. I do not put that many miles on it. However, when I want an oil change and tire balance/rotation I will go to a truck shop. When I did the lift I had the shop save all components even the cross member cut. Therefore, I can return it to stock when ever I want too. Additionally, a dealership can't just void your whole warranty. They would have to prove that the lift directly affected the component under warranty in order to fight you on a claim.
@@wegotoptions9927 thanks I have a better understanding now and I love the truck btw 💯
@Kevin Killings Glad I could help and thanks for the compliment!
Does your traction light come on when making a u turn?
Lol. I have only made one real u-turn that I can recall after getting the lift. No, the traction light did not come on. Please subscribe if you can!
I know you said it was a 5 inch lift but what company did you go with?
Hi it's a Rough Country lift for the air ride 5th gen. Please subscribe if you can!
I have the lone star edition and so skeptical about lifting it. Because of all these reviews heard they don’t ride as good after lift
I understand. I was on the fence for awhile before jumping on in and lifting it.
I heard so much about thr ride if lifted i went with 3.5 rough country lift with a goid quality tire mickey Thompsons the ride is smooth quiet so glad i lifted mine
Sweet
Thank you. Please subscribe if you can!
Curious what the associated expenses are doing a lift with those tires and offsets ?
@William Moffatt The total is likely to be in the $7,000 to $8,000 range depending on the wheels, tires, taxes, etc. I'll do a video on the costs soon.
Do what i did, Take out an accessory loan (Im on my second loan of $14K) and do whatever you wish for a couple hundred a month Instead of trying to save around $6K or more just for the lift, tires, wheels, and labor. I redid Everything , minus the stock 3:21 gears. Truck has plenty of power on 37's.
@@nitetrain7136 Yikes, a loan to buy truck mods.
@@nitetrain7136 info?
Proper lift won’t have all these issues your talking about. But I noticed you did a top hat spacer lift which is not good at all for ride quality. BDS lift would have you riding like stock no matter what the road is like.
I’d also recommend getting the lifetime alignment from Firestone or pepboys which is what I have on my 2020 ram longhorn only cost $199.00
Ok. Perhaps the next truck will have good options in the future.
Change your upper control arms you won't wear out your bushings fast you see how they are setting your truck look good I don't want to cut on my truck so I will stick with the 22 I have a 2021 dodge ram 1500 with a two inc level kit my dealer told me any higher I will void my warranty.
Thanks for the compliment. My truck is sitting on factory air ride at the highest setting in the picture so the control arms are at an angle that you do not drive in. The truck lowers a full 4 plus inches as well so the control arm angles move constantly. The kit I have on the truck accounts for all that. Also, remember that a dealer would tell you everything voids your warranty but by law they would have to prove that the modification you added directly caused the failure of the component under warranty. The dealer can not just void the entre warranty of the vehicle.
Hey, who installed it? Just a regular kit shop? Or you went to the dealer
I had it done at a moms and pops repair shop. They do lifts on all kinds of trucks among other things.

Not for me. I would do a 2 to 3" lift on 33 to 35s tops. Would not want the ride quality and actual truck functions such as 4x4 and towing to be diminished.
