Its lifted with a Fabtech 6.5 in. kit comes with spindles upper arms for the front and blocks for the rear. It wanders like most other rams I suppose, the alingment is a bit off in front according to my alingment guy since we did the ball joints when I bought it and the tires where wearing on the inside he left the camber I guess you would call it, in other words the tops of the tires leaning out a bit. But I think I need a second opinion on that one??? Anyone??? As far as regearing some 4.56's would be sweet but its on the list along with about 10 other things.... but funds are lacking at the moment

Here's mine with a 2 inch leveling kit in the front and 3 inch blocks in the back. I haven't gotten around to putting in the 3 inch spindles to level it out yet.

Ram's is actually only 2" in the front and 3" in the back.

This is a 4" lift...



This is 3" lift...

I have another question.....if the kit says 4 inch lift and the spec`s says that the rear block is only 3inches ....and the front specs are 3 1/2 spindle, thats not a four inch kit. I might be off on my quote but basically the lift out back ,to me should be a four inch block...and 3 inch spindle with 3 inch springs(2 of the inches on the springs is to level it) am i wrong....augh this is crazy please explain

Alright, does the kit state there is a spacer or new springs? Basically, a 3" spindle is going to give you a 3" lift. Putting 3" springs WITH the 3" spindle, is going to give you 6" of lift.

That 4" lift picture isn't my truck, I found it online. I think it was in an older Truckin' magazine. It is a Rancho lift (which is no longer being made) consisting of 3" spindles and a stiffer spring to give you that extra 1". It also comes with a crossmember which I haven't seen in any other Dodge 2WD lift kit. Heres the link...

You could achieve the same 4" with spindles and spacers...
