HI I HAVE A 1987 dodge ram d150 2wd 1\2 ton truck I wanna lift with a suspention lift. Has anyone else done this and can help me out.

 

i bought the super lift 2"block kit for the rear and had springs made for the front by Eaton Detroit.

going to be doing a 3" body lift soon

 

2" is about all you can go due to alignment issues. Look up coil spring specialist and they can make you a set of springs for your truck. Pretty cheap also. I did this to my truck.

 

yea it was only $225 for the springs from Eaton and you can chose spring rate etc. pretty customizable.

 

I just ordered 2 inch coils from Eaton today tax and shipping came to 234.45

 

 

just add the 2" coil spacers to the springs you got. i don't think they would work with new d350 springs. 2" is about the max you can lift the front. all you end up doing if you have too much lift is bashing the upper control arm on the spring pocket. 2" spacer with the stock broken in springs would likely give you exactly what you need but not be too much

 

 

no idea. i think most people that lift there 2wd trucks are pretty happy with running 33's since they are a pretty decent size tire to be sticking under these things

 

Sorry to dig up an old thread here, just picked up my grandpas old 85 and looking to do some work on her. LowNSloan86, you’re rockin’ exactly what I’m looking to do. I noticed in some other posts you made that you said you had to buy new u-bolts when you did the rear block kit? Just longer than what were supplied with the kit?
Also when you put the new springs up front was there anything else you had to do to the suspension? Longer shocks maybe? Any info is greatly appreciated!!
