Coil spacers

You read that correctly Merc old buddy. Fabtech is another one to put in there. Anything you have to buy in Canada is more expensive down here anyways. They are economy kits from my perspective. Just sharing my thoughts for the OP, same as yourself. It's the pocket book that rules.
Not attacking but it is simply not true that Americans pay more than Canadians for parts.
Not to hijack the OP thread!
OP as said do not get 4-5" coil spring spacers! Get a proper kit. You can go up to 3" no problem before you get into track bars, pit man arm drops, control arms, etc. Get an add-a-leaf also if you are wanting more than an inch or two out back, and if you go the block route get a taller block instead of stacking them. If its 35's you want you will need a 5" lift as a rule of thumb to clear them.

Factory rear blocks in the 1500 2nd gen Ram 4wd are 3" tall.
So for the front
5" lift coil-springs Skyjacker part number is D50
Shocks
Upper and lower control arms (White Knuckle has a set for sale)
Drop pitman arm
Trackbar or drop bracket for said lift height
Brake lines
Rear 3" add a leaf kit (long spring)
New shocks

Merc is very correct OP. When you lift up, you're actually shifting the axle as well. Longer control arms re-center to it to where its supposed to be. Drop brackets are necessary for the track bar and pitman arm to keep steering kosher and keep the angles right on them. Shocks need to be longer to accommodate the lifted height, same with brake lines.
