So I've been trying to find out more info yet can't seem to come across any specific details.

On the off-road edition: In the front, is it a different set of springs and then longer shocks? In the rear, is it the same leaf springs as the sport model, just with a taller spacer? That being all the factory lift consists of?

Anyway I've been looking to pick up an off-road edition and I'd like to start with evening out the rear end. Though if I purchase the standard shackles/spacers whatever, it would probably be made for the reg/sport thus lowering the rear too much. ??

Though in general I really don't care for the 2" lift. I honestly think the sport height is perfect. Could I simply swap springs/shocks with ones leftover from a sport? Or is there an easier way all together? (without cutting/heating etc)

Sorry buncha different questions but if anyone has any info/thoughts on all this let me know!

 

The front has different coils and the rear has a different leaf pack (one more leaf). And yes, they have different shocks.

Other than that I dont know what you are asking. You want to get the height of a regular, non-off road ram? I supose you would have to swap springs. I you just swapped the rear leafs with a regular dodge it would probably sit quite level with the off road coils.

 

I looked into this several months back, as I had the opportunity to buy a complete off-road stock suspension. (which I didn't) Anyway, I think the difference in Off-Road and regular is 1.5". Also, the other day someone on here said that Sports are not any higher than the regular 4x4's. Like olyelr said, if you just swap rear leafs with a reg 4x4 truck, you should sit pretty level.

 

Right, the Sport is just an appearance thing, the only 1500 that would sit higher than another would be the Off-Road, which is about 2 inches higher than a non Off-Road 4x4.

 

does anyone know where i can get a set of the offroad springs and stuff for my truck cause i was going to buy a 2 or 3 inch lift kit for mine but if i can put somehat stock stuff on my truck, i will. and how expencive do you think that ould be because i can just buy some new longer shocks.

 

bump... anyone have any ideas?

 

I dont know if you look around on Pavementsucks.com, but there is a guy who wants to trade his 3" coils and shocks for stock stuff. Didnt look where he was located though.

 

i really need to get to a part of this pavment sucks site. i here so much about it. but i have yet to get on it... but thanks

 

Just get on there and search around a bit, you dont have to be a member. But Im warning you, its as addicting as this site

 

yea for some reason this site is really addicting, and i got onto pavment sucks, and it is also very addictive, so i am waiting to become a member of that one now too. but does nyone know how hard it would be to put those suspention items ( offroad springs and leafs) on my truck ( 98 sport), and can it handle the very bad abuse i put my suspention through?
