time to educate everyone
the lift kit in my truck is custom....
FRONT---- coils from an 05 cummins 3500 i gained 4.5 inches and no other modifications were necesssary, i replaced stock shocks anyways
REAR------ removed stock 3" blocks and relpaced them with 6" blocks
she sits perfectly level and is on 35" procomps.
ride quality is awesome, its not stiff at all

yep. but dont demand massive front flex. you wont get it. my truck is a show truck. i dont beat her ***** off in the woods, altho i love my local mud pits and find myself in them very often with no problems ever. i been in mud about even or higher than my 1500 badges on the doors. 
i did my dodge for looks....and it LOOKS sweet, but for offroad performance, you should also get trac bars, extended brake lines, sway arm drop brackets, and the rest of the normals. but if you want a truck thrown up into the air to clear up to 37's do what i did

i got my shocks from a buddy of mine, all i know about them is they are bilsteen +6....meaning they are made for trucks with up to a 6 inch lift. i dont know the number on them or anything and when i put them on my truck i painted them black so i cant even go look for ya, sorry.

sometimes when i turn ALL the way when my axle if flexed (articulation) it rubs the inside of the tire on the control arm. but this truck is my daily driver and my tire might rub once every 3 weeks. if the truck is level and i turn all the way either direction i dont rub, only when at an angle

yeah they are stock ride height coils from a 2005 cummins 3500. i got them from the junkyard. truck came in totalled. it was t-boned on the rear of the box. got the coils for like 40 bucks, had to pull em myself, but worth it and easy.
