Default Lift Question

Hey y'all, 98 ram 2500 gas the lift was on the truck when i got it otherwise id know exact specs but it appears to be about 3 inch blocks in the back and I'm assuming just bigger coils in the front. i don't like the raked look and really want to level the truck off with two inch spacers in the front, my question is would i be able to do this without having to change the control arms, etc. or are my suspension components maxxed out? thanks.

not certain on ur question but i like the way it looks in the pic nice looking truck. I have seen spacers that sit on top of coil springs that may just do the trick. Sorry not much more help.

I think the spacers will put you over the limit for stock control arms.......

A longer track bar or drop bracket may be needed to center the front axle, the more you lift, the more your axle will move to the drivers side. Jus my opinion I like how your truck sits, but im partial to a little rake, but to each his own
