1” front lift

[21SilverRam]

Has anyone come across a 1” lift for front of our trucks. I have a 2022 Warlock. I’ve searched a lot and only found one on ebay. Has anybody tried it? States made out of some type of plastic. I don’t know if that’s good quality or or not.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Why not Bilstein 5100's? That's pretty much the "go to" solution for leveling our trucks.

Do not use any spacers on top of a strut. Like mentioned above the Bilstein 5100 you can add height in increments

AFAIK, one of the most common upgrades to level off the 1500s is Bilstein 5100s set to +2.1".

^^^^^ ALL OF THIS ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Listen to the advice & do it correctly!

So if I wanted to achieve 1” more I would set it at 2.1 because there’s already 1” from the factory? Is this correct? Or no?

Bottom setting is like stock, 2.1" is level, for 1" lift you would go somewhere in the middle.

Now trying to find a place that will install it in Maryland that won’t charge an arm and a leg! I guess I’ll do Bilsteins just confused on what setting to get another inch in the front for the Warlock. So if I set it at 1.4 (the third clip setting) it will be .7 taller in the front or do I need to put setting at 2.1 to get an inch higher in the front I still want to have a little rake in the front. My front measures 22.5" from center of wheel to edge of fender and rear is 24" from center of wheel to fender.

I have a new Warlock Classic myself and had all new 5100's installed all around, and on on all the stock springs.

Set the fronts to 2.1" raised and all is great. I also run 35's and there is zero rub, etc.
Still has a very slight rake so that when I haul / tow, I'm not pointing to the sky, nor do I have the Cali squat when driving clear of loads.

Any credible service shop can do this work. You will need an alignment afterwards, too

Do you think at the setting you picked 2.1 raised the front the 1" I'm looking for or did it raise it higher?

That is correct.

Check with Nick at gotexhaust or Quick_shifter on this forum as those guys do lifts for a living. I remember reading some time ago that the Warlock has a spacer from the factory to gain the 1” lift. It’s possible that going with Bilsteins would remove that spacer so 2.1 would be the appropriate setting. Again check with the experts because I could be way off base about this.

Removing the stock Warlock suspension and installing the 5100's with the fronts raised to the 2.1" setting, and using the stock springs will net you exactly what you are looking for.

As for overall height; that is also determined afterwards by the size of the tire you install.

 

[21SilverRam]

Thanks, for all your help guys! This is just what I wanted, to raise the front 1" higher than stock and I will go to a 33" tire which I know will make it taller than the stock tires I have on there now. My truck came with 17" rims and 265/70/17's. I wish it came from factory with 33's on a 17" rim. If it had the 20" rims they would've come with 33" tires. Don't understand why they do this!!

Warlocks, outdoorsmans, and the 09-12 TRX off road package trucks all have the same 0.7” lift from the factory. It is not done using a spacer, it is done exactly how bilsteins do it, by moving the lower coil mount slightly higher up on the strut body to preload the coil. So the only part that differs from any other 1500 is the strut/shock itself. Since obviously the bilsteins are replacing this, you just need to keep in mind your truck is currently equivalent to bilsteins set at 0.7” when you select your setting. So in the OP’s case, to achieve approximately 1” of lift all they need to do is set the bilsteins to 2.1”

And FYI, the 0.7” rear lift is achieved by slightly taller coils in the rear. There is a “raised ride height” option on some big horns and other trims which I believe is the same 0.7” factory lift, but I have not been able to confirm that.

My Bother in-law’s 2015 Laramie
is just as tall in front as my 2022 Warlock. His truck is all stock. Which I thought shouldn’t be. I think because his wheels are 22” inches. But rear of truck mine is a couple inches taller! So I think my truck looks to tall in rear is why I want to raise the front more!

Suspensionlifts.com is where I got mine, it was the cheapest place at the time and probably still is. Be careful buying parts from eBay and Amazon, there are a lot of knockoffs out there.

Do you have picture you can post to see what it looks like at 2.1 setting?
