do the topguncustomz stuff.... and i do hope this is to your 4wd... lifting a 2wd is kinda pointless... but dont stack blocks, its also pointless... you have so much axle wrap its not funny... just do an add-a-leaf (tough country sells a set, shipped from summit) and a daystart ( or equal) 3" coil spacer for the front...

you dont need anything else for a 3", pitman arms and all are just fine...

Lifting an open differential 4x4 is just as pointless, and there are countless numbers of users on here who have done so.

lifting an open diff truck is not pointless.... just means you get stuck more often... well i guess you could say the same for a 2wd, but still... open diff is fine, i have seen many many jeeps open diff go through alot of stuff... hell look at 2.5 ton rockwell... they come open diff if ya didnt know.... so pointless to be open diff, i dont think so...

but i think the cheapest way for you to get the three inch lift or so out of your truck. put the coil spacer, and aal in.... youll be fine to fit 33's and a ram with 33's will go through alot of stuff... as logn as you can drive

i had 3 inch blocks stacked on top of 3 inch blocks in my other ram for 4 years and never had a single problem at all. its not recommended but it can be sone safely.

as for lifting a truck with an open diff....it is not pointless....my truck is jacked up 5.5 inches and have 35's...i could easily go to 37's....and i have an open diff...it does great...especially with those pro comp tires, i get through everything that everyone else does no problem

the reason i am wanting 2 inchs of lift on my 2wd is b.c of the terrain i am in. i get off the beaten path alot, and i need a 4x4 but its out of the question for a few years.
