I'm looking at this as a leveling solution. Anyone have any experience doing this? It seems like the way to go but I can't find anything info on the web. Are they too new or something?
I have always been partial to Bilsteins and don't like spacers as a solution but don't really want/need a big lift. I just want to run 33s. This is my daily driver/tow vehicle.

Model: Ram 1500 4WD (exc. MegaCab)
Year: 06-08
Raised Height (front): 0-2"
Raised Height (rear): 0-1"
Part # (front): BE5-E523-H0
Part # (rear): BE5-6682-H6

EDIT: Update: The Bilsteins are not going to be available until June 09 and are backlisted according to Bilstein. I called them.

So it looks like Rancho Quicklift and Goodyear Wrangler AT/S in LT275/65R20 for me.

 

I've not bothered to look 'em up, but if they are anything like the Rancho QuickLifts, I put a set on a buddies '06 QCSB and they were nice, beat the doo-doo out of spacers...

 

Thanks Hammer. That's another option, but twice the price of the Bilsteins (or more) and for my application, I don't see any benefit.

Anyone seen these or tried 'em?

 

Would they alter alignment?

Stock 20" wheels run a 33" tire from the factory and the suspension is the same as the 17's. You shouldn't have any troubles the way you are to run a 33" tire.

 

I installed the Skyjacker adjustable struts on mine, very nice. Im pleased. They were about $250

 

The stock tires measure out at about 31" if i remember. I'm after a slightly larger tire (305 vs 275) and leveling out the truck.

I'm pretty sure that I'll be getting an alignment after new struts and tires.

 

These:

06-07 Dodge 1500 4x4 Adjustable Front Leveling Struts 1-2” K23 D620ST

That's great! Did you adjust them to level out your truck?

 

Theres 3 positions on the skyjackers 1 1/2, 2 3/8, and 3". I used the middle setting, and the truck is dead level. 40" to the top of the wheel well opening on all 4 corners.
They area bit of trouble to install. The truck looks and handles much better than stock.

 

Robeeto or Hammer,

New tires after the installs or just ran stock?

My plan is to run LT305/55R-20 on the stock wheels after the level.

 

I understand that, but what I was saying is this. The Dodge Ram 1500 SLT with 17" wheels and 31" rubber from the factory and a Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie with 20" wheels from the factory both have the exact suspension! there is no difference in ride height. That means you can take off your 17's that have 31" rubber and mount a set of 20's with 33" rubber no problems.
Now a 33" tire on a 17" rim is just the same!
Now, the 305 is the width not the height. I know guys with 20's have 305's no issues but the 20's are 9" wide rims. The 305/55/20 size isn't 33" it's more like 32.25". it's a wider tire but still has a lesser of a profile than the stock 275/60/20's do. Do you not understand? i can show you why!
