i was looking on cardomain.com and found a 1500 4x4 2nd gen with megacab coils and was wondering if that would work and would i need longer pitman arms? it says that he has the coils with a daystar coil spacer for a total of a 6.5 in. lift in the front here is the link:

this may be a dumb question, dont know much about the megacabs...but is it a 1500,2500,3500 megacab?

 

the mega cabs are the 3rd generation 4door 2500/3500 like this but im thinking he used the stock 4x4 ones because those coils are holding up a lot of wieght compared to my 2001 1500 4x4

hey dude figured id help you post that pic..love it btw

 

haha thanx didnt even notice

 

Megacabs came in 1500, 2500 and 3500 models, with either a hemi or a diesel (2500/3500 only). And the 1500 has a solid front axle, unlike the regular 1500's. The coils will fit a second gen ram, but I am not sure of the actual lift amounts that will be gained. 2500/3500 diesel coils will no doubt offer more lift than the 1500 gas coils.

It is possible he gained that much lift with using the coils and added spacers, but he would have also added all the other stuff to complete the lift (longer control arms, track bar, drop pitman arm, etc.).

 

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

 

6 in blocks? that would be the only thing that would make me weary...but thanks for the info on the front...i may just do the coils without spacers.

and damn that megacab is one good lookin truck

 

been in there for 2 years........not a SINGLE problem yet

 

matter of fact most if not all 2500's come stock with a 5" block rather than a 3" like the 1500's.....so an inch higher than a stock 2500 block is really nothin
