I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 2wd V6. I found some 4inch lift springs online, and was thinking about installing 4inch springs up front and 4inch blocks in the back.

Will 4inches up front mess with my camber?
Also, what else will i need to do to make it lift friendly? (gear ratio swap,etc.)

What about a body lift, how hard is it to install on your own? Do you have to lift each piece of the body(cab/bed) seperately? or can you install each body mount seperately?

thanks for ya'lls help

I know body lifts are cheap, but i really wanted to get the most lift for my money.

I was thinking 4inch susp. lift and 3inch body lift.

 

ive heard that 3 is about max up front without getting new control arms


you can gain a few inches from going to diesel coils or maybe even v8

 

how much ya wantin to spend?

I've never really understood why someone would put a lift kit on a 2wd truck...

 

There are far too many pitfalls and headaches that will be associated with this young man's project. I agree with Miami, Duck! And cover. This is kinda like puttiing chrome wheels on your computer chair. It might look cool, but doesn't really make alot of sense.

 

no different really than on a 4x4...... i pondered lifting my 2wd.....i had been using it alot hauling my boat in the back and was going alot more places than if it had been lowered.....i was gonna do it for the looks....who cares if its only a 4x2?......4x4 trucks do it pretty much for looks too, no matter how much they say that they so it for the functionality

 

Please remove my truck from your "looks only" catagory, thank you!
I hope some, well, lots of other 4x4 owners weigh in as well...
