I think I might understand your statement..but thats a stretch. Next time take your time typing. Its not hard and helps yourself and us. Anyway...your choices are a 2 inch body lift...or you crank the torsion bars up front and either blocks in the back or some leafs from a 2500 ram...or a solid axle swap...or a mixture of those. Im sure theres another way or two but those are the most common ways so thats what I can think of off the top of my head.

I never heard of it being weak?, but i'm not sure. And yeah it was discontinued but some companies still have them in stock... oh and btw if the site has an internet chat... please tell them you're interested and usually they have a "only for today deal!!!" and will knock off almost $300. not kidding. it has happened a lot.

Like I said..Id still buy it haha. And dont worry I know about sites doing stuff like that so I believe ya lol and Id do it if I had the money.

i have the trailmaster 4" suspension lift under mine. not weak at all! love it! you can still find them, and i really recomend it. its built good, the enginering aspect is better than alot of other suspension lifts ive seen. give yourself a good weekend to put on though.
