Default Need quick answer

Sorry, no time to search[8D]

Would getting front coils from a 4x4 offroad edition Ram be about the same as getting a leveling kit?

Thanks

The coils should net you about 1.5" of lift from what I've read. Aren't the leveling kits 2" spacers? It would probably be close and I'd way rather have that setup over the spacer anyway.

Sweet, there's a guy nearby that is selling the stockfront coils, front control arms, rear leafs, and 4 Bilstein shocks from his 2001 Ram Offroad that he lifted...all for $250. I am going to see if he will just part with the coils.

Thanks guys

There's some stock off-road coils here for $100. Maybe you could just let him know you found these and see if he'll give them to you for less.

Where are you? Do you have a link to them or anything?

There's a company called 4 Wheel Fabrication (4wheelfab.com) that has 1.5 inch spacers. I ordered mine from them offebay; $75.00 after shipping. I'm pleased with them - easy install and I didn't change my front shocks (Rancho 5000) afterwards. My truck's rear was 2" taller than the front initially (measured from the ground to the center of the wheel-wells). With the front 1.5 inches higher now, it looks level; if I had gone with a 2" spacer (4 wheel fab has those too) I think it would look like the front was higher than the rear. With just having 265/75/16 tires on my truck it looks nice with the 1.5" lift. And it didn't affect my ride, where from what I've read, the off-roadsprings are stiffer than "regular" springs. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I was looking at the spacers from Top Gun Customz, but I would really rather use a spring than a spacer. I actually would rather have the stiffer ride from the offroad coils... The front end springs now are too squishy I think...
