Hey, i recently bought a 1996 dodge ram 1500 sport..and i was laying underneath it the other day and noticed my rear springs had like 2" blocks under it..as far as i kno the truck was stock ..so did dodges come with stock lifts? or is this aftermarket?...im asking because i want 2 lift the truck..but befor i decid what i wanna do with the truck i wanna find out what i have lol....also will 15inch rims fit on my truck or are the stock 16 inch wheels the smallest i can go?.... cuz i wheel with prettymuch all chevys and dont have alot of money..so i can get alot of 2nd hand tires cheap but they are all for a 15 inch rim..thanks

 

you can out 15s on there but i here ppl have to shave the break capler down.

 

alright thanks..ill have to look into that..cuz if a little bit of grinding can save me hundreds ill jump right on that lol

 

I have seen lots of 15" wheels fit without rubbing, even 10" wide ones. It all depends on the backspacing.


Dodges came stock with blocks under the rear springs.

 

alright thanks for the answer on the blocks question....so does that mean if i put on a 3 inch lift it will go from were it is now..or will it not be as high as i imagine because those blocks would come out?..sorry im new 2 dodges lol

 

the kit should have new rear block. so u might have to take them out. it should go up and get some bigger wheels/tire

 

If you buy a lift kit it will come with everything to lift it properly, including the rear. Some kits come with all new blocks, some kits come with a block to stack on the stock block (not recommended), and some come with complete new springs which go on the stock block. All depends on what kit you get and how much money you wanna spend.

 

ok cool..thanks for all the help guys...like i mentioned befor i run with a prettymuch all chevy crowd so they are no help lol...this site might be a lifesaver i was startin 2 regret buying the dodge

 

just one more question...there wouldnt happen 2 be the slight chance that some1 makes an adapter to convert my 5 lugs to accept a chevy 6 lug pattern would there?

 

wait of the trans to go yr not out of the woods yea and never will be i want to get a 3 tuff country or skyjacker.
