Ram with a Lift
I am looking at buying a 1998-2003 dodge ram and I am planning on putting a lift on it, but im not forsure what kind of lift i should put. could anybody please help me figure out which would be better a body or suspension, and how high. If you have a lifted dodge could u post some pictures so I could see. Thanks Russell Batista

thats a vague question for the amount of options you have.
Are you buying a 2wd or 4x4? a 1500 or 2500? And 1998 vs 2003 is a big difference in body styles and suspension.
A body lift is cheap and easy to do. Wont decrease the rake and wont give you more flex,etc. A suspension lift is "better" if you offroad. You could just level it if you are trying to fit bigger tires and thats all. There are different size lifts for each, a 1" and 3" body lift, 3" 4" 5" 6" suspension lifts (many claim more than they give)
Heres mine with 2.5in level and 3in body

Big differences between 2nd Gen ('94-'01) and 3rd Gen trucks.
I think the most important information needed is how high are you planning to go, what size tires you want to run and if you are looking at a 4x2 or 4x4 before anyone can give a good answer to you.
