hey guys im just trying to find a simple way to lift my 98 ram 1500...i just dont feel like paying $1600 for a new lift kit. i know my basics are my springs and my blocks or leaf springs in the back. i want to go 5 inches suspension wise...after that im going to get 3 inch blocks. but what all would i need to get for a suspension lift besides my 5 inch springs and my blocks in the back? cause in every kit that i look up they have the trac bar relocater and what not...i know i have to get new shocks too....but how big would i have to get them if i went with a 5 inch?

 

I'd plan for new upper control arms also. At least that's what I understand after reading a few posts. But then again what do I know, I'm just a 2wd guy. Haha

 

Diesels coils springs add a leafs drop pit man arm new control arms upper and lower shocks.

I have priced it out a few times and you are better off buying a kit rather than pice it together and you have everything you need.

Good place to call as well. They drop the prices on there products as well just got to know how to sweet talk them.

 

Haha ok thanks guys, I'll most likely just bite the bullet and just save up for a kit...that way I'll have every thing I need

 

www.roughcountry.com 750.00 for a 5" lift

 

and it does come with everything you need, i know this cuz im buyin it as well. it dont list the drop pitman arm and the drop bracket for the brake lines but it does come with all that, i have verified it.

 

Ok thanks, that's actually what I'm saving up for too lol but if you get it before I do, let me know how much fun it was installing

Oh ok well just let me know...and be safe out there...
