I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 15oo quad cab, 4wd, auto. I want to see about putting on a body lift kit? Any suggestions? Would a 2inch be more simple than a 3inch?

 

I dont think it would be more simple but it would probley look better. The only problem I have with 3" bd lifts is that after you can see the whole frame basicly. I think with a 2" it would cover up more of the frame.

 

3 inch body lift in this pic.

 

I'd go with the 3" BL, I was dead set against one but when you run low on funds u do what ya gotta, now- best thing I ever did- I can work/fix/modify more things on this baby than ever before!!!! However, just a 2" or 3" BL is cheezy, you gotta have a suspension lift to go with it!

No body lift in my sig pic, just 5" susp

 

The 2 or 3" is a just personal preference, both pretty much require the same amount of work. As far as the frame showing, its not too bad on a 2nd gen Dodge... Chevy's are a joke, but the Dodges are hardly even noticeable unless you know what you are looking at.

Heres a 3" body lift (and a 3" suspension).

 

when you put a body lift on wht is all involed with it like do you need to do anything to the steering or anything like.

 

The steering shaft should be cut/extended, as well as the shifter linkages for certain years (although mine were adjustable - 2000 model). The gas tank filler/breather hoses need to be cut/extended. The radiator shroud needs to be lowered. A bracket on the inside of the drivers side fender needs to be installed to keep the shifter linkage parallel (I had to make mine - but most kits come with a supplied bracket). Bumpers need to be raised (typically with supplied brackets).

I am sure there is more that I forgot, but I cant remember back that far hahahaha

 

did you regroove those tires or did they come like that...if so, what are they?

 

I know there bfg's in 35". There some kind of race tire.

 

weird...cool...weird...cool...i think i want them...lol
