Level Kit

Bhunter15 · Jun 2, 2026

New here, tried searching but did not find anything. 2024 1500 AT4, getting ready lift w/UCA level kit (1.75"). Wanted to go with Bilstein 5100 shocks. Website stats they are only good for 1.1". Is this the case? Does anyone have any recommendations. Thanks for your input.

Tracking this as well. I have a 2023 1500 AT4 and have heard that leveling kits (even with new UCAs) will still put stress on the front driveshafts to the point that they will start to leak and prematurely wear out. Some say they started to see leaks in the boots or front end in as little as 1-3yrs of normal driving after installing.

I spoke to a couple of shops and they said they strongly recommend using an actual decent suspesion lift in order to keep all the angles proper and to preserve the ride quality as well.

Any thoughts on this? What is considered a "good suspension lift" now-a-days? They all seem so dang expensive.

I did this very thing last year and am absolutely loving it.

Bilsteins and Spacers

Anyone running Bilsteins 5100s and a spacer for lift? What combination of height settings and spacers if so? Can only get 1.1” from the strut. Looking to get 1.75 over stock height. Would I be better off running them at stock height and adding the level kit from Readylift? Thanks.
