Be careful who you insult, you may need their help. Chevy's have had torsion bars on there 4x4's since 1988.

 

it looks more like he was being insulted.....


i would just slap a bodylift under it, then maybe a coil spacer

heres a write up on a dodge

im not trying to insult anyone...yeah i like chevy , but i am able to cross the line to dodge..that guy was trying to bust my chops and rag on my chevy....dude its not called insulting its called defending whats mine...i hope he does not take it to heart too much...we are all men hear plus a few gals i hope... and we can take it , i hope . thanx d

Well everybody can tell you you'd be surprised at how much PurplDodge knows about trucks considering his age... No need to defend any ground, it won't change anything over a forum.

Back to the topic... I have a 1.5" Coil Spacer from Daystar and about 2" of lift from Add-A-Leafs for the rear and I fit 285/75/R16's with no rubbing at all. Depends on the tire I believe. I have BFG All-Terrains. Cost me $40 for the spacer, and I think $40 for the leafs.

There are also a number of fabricators who make complete kits. Fabtech makes a 3.5" Spindle Lift System, a 3" Performance System, and a 6.5" Ultimate lift that consists of both systems previously stated.

Doetsch Tech also makes a range of lifts from 1" to 6" as well. They sport more of the spindle versions which will widen your front stance about 2-3" more than the rear, but will give you the lift you want. More like a prerunner look.

You can go 2.5" with spring spacers before you need upper control arms built to correct the geometry. And keep in mind it's probably a good idea to update your shocks as well.

I plan on adding a Fabtech 3" Performance System lift which consists of taller springs and new control arms on top of my spring spacer lift to try for 4". Not sure how well it will work considering the geometry but it's worth a try.

Body lifts are cheap, not necessarily easy, but they will give you no extra clearance. And Dodges show a LOT of frame underneath with a body lift, which does not look good in my eyes... But you can clear the tires your after with either lift.

 

Dodges show no frame compared to a chevy, chevy's show frame before putting a body lift on them

 

Thats true. Chevys show a crapload of frame. But with a body lift alone on a Dodge 2WD? It just never has looked good to me. But thats me. Doesn't mean in any way don't do it. But this truck does look good...

Still, only a body lift by itself just doesn't appeal to me...

 

I agree but a plus side to a body lift is the extra room you gain in the engine department, and you dont change the suspension of the truck, so it rides the same except for raising the center of gravity a little

 

truth be told i was concerned about the body lift and all that frame rail showing...but the do make a kit to cover all that junk...tell you what,maybe i should just lower it and i would see no railing hahahaha....no seriously , i think that im gonna level the front end with 1.5 or 2(if they make it) leveler and put 2 spindle on the front...and block it out back 4 inches.I read that the dodge factory spindles are weak.thats y i am opting to replace the spindles..... My ultimate goal is a 4 inch lift on 33`s....i think that would look good...what do you guys think ???

 

yeah, DROP IT!!!!!

 

Dude i really thought about it....but i have a chevy pick-up that i lowered a few years back...so when i scored this truck for dirt cheap,i figured i would go opposite from down. heck im selling my acura tl cause i dont need it, i have 2 trucks 2 street bikes and a dirt bike . I am sorry that its not a 4x4 i would go up 6 inches...but a 4inch lift should do me.
