hey i have a 94 ram 1500 4x4 i want to know which is better a body or suspension lift which is cheaper and which is easier to install? im looking to get some bigger more aggressive tires for my truck if anyone can help i would very much appreciate it thank you and also if you can just give me some pointers on what kind of set up i would be best suited with that would help out tons also thank you

 

body lift is easier and cheaper, but suspension is the way to go performance wise. i personally try and stick with only suspension lift. in my experience the body lift can cause body roll. that is no fun.

 

Body lift does not cause body roll.
I have both on my truck, and in my opinion, a suspension lift is actually easier to install.
BL is cheaper.

How do you plan to use your truck?

 

well i dont really take it offroading or anything like that i found that when your rough on your truck it just cost you more money haha but i just want some bigger tires more aggressive tread some m/t's would be nice i do go camping and stuff like that and i haul dirt bikes around thats bout it i just want it a little higher so i can fit some nicer tires on it

 

how much bigger?

 

i said that it can, not does cause body roll. i have dealt with vehicles before that had that problem, granted never a dodge though.

but depending on the tools you have at hand you are probably right about the suspension lift being easier. i have a lift at my shop, so i am spoiled lol. using jacks and what not to do a bl is probably a royal pita.

it sounds like what you plan on doing with your truck you could use a mild suspension lift and creep up to 33s or maybe even 35s and maintain a very usable truck.

if you go to high it is a biatch to get bikes in and out (trust me)

 

yeah i was just thinking along the lines of like a 2-3 inch lift nothing outragous or anything i dont really wanna go any bigger then 35's so if you guys know of any cheap places i can find them at or decent prices that would be great?

Slap some 2" pucks in the front and be done.

 

I have Both a 5" Suspension Lift and a 3" Body Lift. I have felt no "Body Roll" I am running 35" s . They were both a pain to install as my truck is a 1995 and from canada.....the salt had taken a toll on almost all fasteners. If you just want bigger tires you can run 285/75/16 with your truck riding stock. They still look pretty badass on a stock truck. I had a cheap set of Hercules Terra Trac and they looked good...but once I put the 5" and the 3" they looked stupid. I'm Running Mickey Thompson MTZ and they are a great tire on and off road...I am very happy with them and they are wearing very slow and even.
