Hey, I'm buying the rough country 5" suspension lift for my 99 dodge ram, and had a question about the 'nitrogen shock upgrade'. Are they worth getting along with the kit? and Would I have to get 4 or more, because I see this lift on some trucks, and they have 4 of these shocks on the back of the truck, alone. I know this may seem like a really dumb question, but I'm not sure as to what to do right now
Thanks

Edit:
and I was also wondering if there would be any major difference between the Rough Country 5" suspension lift

and Top Gun Customz own 5 inch suspension lift with arm

there's quite a price difference, I'm guessing because they have coil spacers in the top gun customz, and new 5" coil springs in the rough country lift.
Would it be much better just to spend the extra money and get the rough country lift?

 

I didnt get the nitrogen shocks. I got the ones with the kit and it rides fine. so I dont know about that. but I got the 5inch from rough country for mine because it was a 98 and new springs never hurts. Besides if you get the springs and decide to want to go a little higher u can add a 2 inch spacer and have the front end aligned to give u 7 inches.hope this helps

 

oh yeah I never thought about that! thanks a lot, I probably will be going a little higher down the road and that'll keep me from running into troubles!
thanks again

 

also, if I get this suspension lift along with a body lift, will I need to get new break cables or anything like that?

 

the kit should come with new brake lines...as for the body lift...i doesn't effect your brake lines

 

hey if u get the rough country kit it doesnt come with brake lines. they will still work with no mods.

 

so I don't have to worry about breaklines?

 

Nope with that kit all your lines will work just take them loose from the frame when installing it. then rebolt everything back up.

 

Thats what I am doing. I already have 2 inch leveling pucks so I am installing the rough country 5 inch with the pucks in front and blocks in back. It will come out to 7in front/6in back and cost less than 1500 parts and install.
