flip ball joints(2 inches), body lift (3 inches), skyjacker (6 inch), 37 inch boggers- roughly 12 inches of lift

thats my mud truck yea yea yea i know its a Chevy oh well at least i own a dodge too. Anyways, i would recommend body lift + suspension esp if you plan on clearing a 37+ tire. the body lift helps clear the mud and big space for tires. a lift isn't always necessary, i had a 92 Toyota stock everything and went through alot other trucks w/ lifts had issues getting through. You shouldn't have to extend the drive shaft unless you go bigger than 6 inches, and if you want bigger than that you want to go straight axle (assuming you have independent now).


What the heck is "flip ball joints" for 2" of lift?

And he has a 2nd gen dodge 4x4... they all came with a solid Dana 44 front axle.

The second picture is exactly where that truck belongs, stuck in water that barely reaches the bumper! I'm guessing you needed your Dodge to pull it out, am I correct?...Sorry, I couldn't resist.
