I am interested in adding some ride height to my truck.

After looking around at what I could do I came up with a few options, I wanted to know what other peoples thoughts were on this.

I am not entirely against the PA 3 inch body lift (http://www.jcwhitney.com/body-lift-kit/p2005819.jcwx?filterid=c11313d412y2003g139j2), but I would rather not sacrifice ride quality (as I have been told it would?).
It also seems to be one of the most common options.

Looking at my torsion keys, it appears that they are cranked as far as they can be. Would it make sense to get something like this (http://www.suspensionmaxx.com/dodge-...ront-1997-2004) to gain a couple inches in the front?

For the back I was looking at the possibility of using an add-a-leaf http://www.jcwhitney.com/1997-2003-d...97-2003j1.jcwx, any concerns with this? It seems fairly inexpensive.

Any thoughts on these?

 

I have a 3" body lift and torsion key leveling kit, and i have no problem with vibrations or anything. My only issue is that my tires are too big and are rubbing the frame. gotta get some spacers.

btw: Nice truck bro. nice to see other nj d'kotas. what town are you a ff/emt?

 

Okay so heres the deal.

Adding a body lift won't affect ride quality as it doesn't change anything with the suspension, hence the name "Body Lift".

As far as I know, torsion keys are just expensive paper weights.

Your best bet is to do the add-a-leaf and a body lift.

 

id go body lift i had a lift kit for mine and with our trucks the ifs is really goofy. i ran into the issue of hitting bump stops and having some funky geometry.

 

it looks like ill prolly just do the body lift. Im just worried about being able to level the front considering I cant crank the torsion keys anymore then they are.

thanks, I live near Princeton.

 

Do both...I have 3" body lift, re-indexed keys, and add-a-leafs in the back running on 315/75/16's(35's). Others may disagree but I'll say my torsion keys did affect the ride quality. Its not hateful but def a noticeable difference, just a stiffer ride.

 

I agree. Also have a 3" body lift, New torsion keys and add-a leaf . Putting 33's on it next week, the ride is a little stiff on the street but air down for off road and it feels like an old caddy cruising over the bumps.

 

I have 3" body lift, t bar keys an 2" blocks for rear. 315 75 16s as well.
