Reddit mentions of Genuine Mopar P5155797 Suspension Lift Kit for RAM 1500

For what it's worth I have a '15 Ram 1500 that I have been using since new as my primary off-pavement exploration tool - it's a stout enough platform with minor improvements.

Here is what I would suggest:

• A small lift is in order, if nothing else just to get that front bumper up off the ground a little. I chose to go with the Mopar lift because it's a well thought out, well executed example of lagom design. It's not a lot of parts but it's all top notch quality and it improves suspension travel without binding, and without negatively affecting towing stability for a truck that still has to get up and go to work being a truck.
  
  
• If you don't have them already, I strongly suggest the factory skid plates. There is one for the power steering, one for the front differential and one for the transfer case. The actual metal stamping for the transfer case is the same as the front differential one but they come in different kits based on what hardware is included, some of that hardware is "nutserts" (a threaded nut which affixes into a hole in the chassis like a rivet) so you'll also need an inexpensive Nutsert tool to install them. The transfer case skid plate also includes a crossmember to support its rear edge. These all bolt into existing holes in the chassis, just some of them use nutserts and others thread straight into the stamped hole. I believe I paid less than $200 for all three kits with all the nutserts and a $9 nutsert tool . I make a point of not trying to beat up my undercarriage if I can avoid it, but the added peace of mind from the skid plates is nice and they only have to do their job one time to be worth the price.
  
  
• Yes, tires. There's a lot of thought you can put into tires as there are so many choices available and people buy tires for a lot of reasons, a lot of different terrain, etc. A lot of times people buy tires for the cosmetics because they have a picture in their mind of what tire-to-truck ratio looks right. I tried to put cosmetics out of my mind entirely when tire shopping and strictly consider what the real implications would be in capability, availability, cost, fuel efficiency, driver fatigue, chassis parts longevity.. I ended up with ~33x10" tires (255/80R17) and now almost 20k miles later with a lot of varied terrain and weather, a 5000 mile road trip, close to capacity towing I consider that to have been a good move. This size also fits easily in the stock spare location, a 35" tire wouldn't. A few guys have told me they think I need bigger tires (that cosmetics thing again..) but they're entitled to their opinion.
  
  
• Tow hooks if your trim level doesn't already have them. The Mopar tow hooks for 1500's are pretty stout, I believe I paid about $90 for them.. that's kind of a lot for two hooks but they're beefy castings that tie into the frame very well and are engineered to not interfere with the vehicle's impact absorbing frame for collision safety. Depending on what bumper your trim package includes you may or may not want to get the revised covers that fit around the tow hooks.
