Default Is this a good price on springs?

I'm looking for springs for my 2000 1500 to raise it 2-3". Anyone know if this is a fair price?

Thx in advance.

Mako is usually pretty high on their prices. If you're just looking for about 2-3", I'd either go with the 3/4-ton springs I mentioned the other day, or go with a spacer kit (aka leveling kit). That is the easiest way to do it, and you can usually get them for about $130. The guys at www.jeeperzcreeperz.com deal with those and have good prices. I've met the owner a few times, really good guy.

I got my 3/4 ton springs for $25 bux, gave me ~2 1/2 " of lift... 2' blocks in back and it looks way better (not level but better).

I haven't looked in a while, but www.jegs.com and www.summitracing.com always had the best deals on them.

Thanks, last question (promise)

I just put new shocks in end of last summer, can I get away with them or should I plan on new shocks all around?

Thanks again

Street driven or off-roaded? I'm assuming since you live on Long Island it's street driven. They should be ok. Steve would know better.

I've found that reccomended length shocks are too short for off-road, even if you do have the "correct" size. I always measure and special order shocks to match vehicles I build. Then again, my vehicles are pretty seriously used off-road...

The only "off-road' I do is a dirt path to a fishing spot. I think i'll play it safe and budget in some shocks.

Thanks for all the help and info. this is what make this the best dodge site around.[sm=wootwoot.gif]

sounds like me on the fishing... just get some shocks for the sport model since your only going 2", I have the RS 9000's up front and like them, still need to swap out the rears since they were for a stock height ram (I have the 2" spacers in the rear).

this guy [sm=wootwoot.gif] reminds me of my youngest daughter doing the "cabage patch dance"??... funny
