Just got dodge ram a few months ago, have some questions.
Its a 1995 dodge ram 1500
single cab
short bed
5.9L
4x4
33x12.5x16 when i got it, but i have 33x12.5x15 now
just dropped it off at hudlows axle to get driver front axle shaft fixed. U joint went bad and caused the two yokes to hit each other and ruin them
Wondering how much i can lift it, whats the easiest way to go with it, what height do i run into problems?
the tires that are on it now are fine, i just want some extra height. really my main question

Do you have any pictures. You may have the offroad edition.
Has there already been a lift kit put on it?
Usually you can take the VIN # and go to KBB, and check it there.
Or, I think there are other online sites u can check it for free.

and its a alright lookin truck, when i got it it had the terrible looking brush guard on it and paint was gone on front bumper and had red stripe. i put some crager lookin 15's and painted it with john deere black paint.
i want to lift it up now, and im getting 4x4 back maybe some bigger tires later on.. i want to do something like a 4" body and 4" suspension.. something like that

No she wasn't a Merc but it was blue, an I don't remember the name of it either.
I don't care to much for those outboards, there a lot of work. On yours do you have to take the tank out every time you go to fill it up?
I used to have a 2006 Ranger Z19 Comanche Series with a Mercury 250hp outboard motor, that thing would get up an go, an turn on a dime. I don't miss it either. It took to much work to maintain, so we sold it an got an inboard. Just got tired of having to take the fuel tank out every time we had to fill it up.

do they sell mixed gas at your local marina? Idk if they do at my local marina. I live in Clinton Illinois. But were looking for a couple jet ski's we want the bombarde* gxp supercharged series. 4 stroke tho. And my Mach 1 will do about 62 when the water is calm with just me an my dad, and with a couple people it will do about 50-55, i need to fix the speed thing on the rear of the boat, my nephew was trying to get back in after swimming, and he didn't use the dam ladder, and accidentally broke the plastic speed sensor. But yeah its a great boat, we haul tubes, and i wake board a little bit. Im getting better. haha i dont fall, but i do take jumps, and stuff. its fun.
