I have a 2022 Ram Classic Warlock 4x4. Do you’s think these will fit? I just want to go up an inch in the front. I don’t see any reason why they won’t work. But I could be wrong!
Thanks in advance!

Could they fit, perhaps.

Would you want to take a chance on the potential for negative things to happen as a direct result of using pucks to lift the front end; your choice, but no one here is going to recommend you use them.

Purchase the 5100 Bilstein front adjustable and do it correctly.

like it has been said do not go with spaces their are lots of spacer threads with issues not worth the hassle. For a few $$ more go with a set of leveling struts, i went with 1.5 inch on my truck and it turned out perfect.

You were told back in April the same thing. Everyone is collectively trying to help you. Being the operator of the only Ram suspension shop on the east coast, I can tell you that trying to save money now will 100% force you to spend more money than doing it right. And like always that bill will arrive at the worst time.

I don’t want to spend $1000 dollars just to lift 1”

Then you really can’t afford the $3000 bill when your entire front end is destroyed because of the cheap spacers.

If you do it yourself, bilsteins + new upper strut mounts + alignment will only run you about $650.

don't know who quoted you $1000 but they are out to lunch.. WHile bilsteins are a great shock their are cheaper alternatives that are still better than putting spacers in. i spent under $500 installed and aligned and i'm more than happy with the ride.. 100% agree with the comments above.. Do yourself a favor and listen to what people are saying to you, they are trying to help and save you money in the end.

If you lived in Maryland that’s what it would cost the cheapest place I was quoted was $940 install and alignment. I can’t do this type work anymore too old plus bad shoulder.

I can get you in Eibachs for cheaper than 5100's and they are pretty much the same. Install should be about 3 hours and then alignment. You need an alignment whether you get pucks or struts, labor isnt a whole lot less for pucks too, maybe save an hour. So not a whole lot more for the correct method. If you can't do it now, save up and then do it when you can fit it in the budget

Total cost shocks, installation and alignment is what I’m adding up.
when you go to places that work on kia’s all day they tend to shoot high when something is a little heavier. In the grand scheme of things how much are pucks saving you $150-$200?
Then when the strut top hat blows out and you’re driving around with the most annoying squeaky front end is that a free repair?

Being in the field I can tell you we have a lot of clients driving from MD with botched installs and it’s never cheaper the 2nd or third time around

I bought them and installed them myself with help from my son. The look I was looking for. Now to add 33” tires after the stocks wear out. I don’t think adding 1” is gonna give me issues we will see.
