ditto.... 2" shackle lift is a better idea dont have the axle wrap to worry about...never used one on a ram yet but used them on my jeep and they worked well.... I dont see how the ones previouly posted could be so bad....

 

ah, i see the problem you speak of....what about flipping the hanger?

 

^ wouldn't that just be a shackle flip?

 

You would need a very long shackle in that case then. There is a company out there that makes a flipped shackle for these trucks. BDS I think it is. I think it uses the factory shackles as well.

 

So If I buy the shorter shackles from ebay Ill need something else then?? If I needed something else would it just be more worth my money to get AAL's or blocks?

 

i dont know, i just looked at my truck and i really dont see those shorter shackles being a problem

 

I wouldn't use those shackles at all. They will literally destroy your leaf springs over time. Dakota, compress the rear suspension all the way and you will see what I am talking about.

Just build a new hanger. Easy.

 

I havent had time to go out and look at my truck but wut do you mean by build a new hanger? I work in a machine shop so building something is no problem I just dont understand what your telling me to build?

 

what about a add a leaf?? thats about 2in lift

because if you lift to front 3in then lift the back i in it should be level



edit i was editin it and hit save and had forum problems

 

Take a look at your hangers. See how they are in the shape of a "J"? Make ones that are more or less the shape of an "H", so the bottom is opened.

This:


Better off not lifting in that case then.
