Just got new dodge to work on for trial. questions
Hello
I just got a dodge ram 1500 reg cap small box 318. Its got about 182 000kms on it and seems to run really well. Frame is good.
I was planning to make it into a fun trail and street truck.
I would like to put 5.5 rough country lift, 2" Daystar front coil spring spacers , shackle and add a leaf in the back and 3" body lift to. So about 10" in the front and 12" in the back and run 38s
What do you think? Lift any good from rough country? Any other ideas?
Also anything else that I can do to get some good power out of the truck but for cheap?
And Does anyone know of a dodge site that has good and cheap parts for the dodge? Like Ford has Broncograveyard.com
Thoughts?
THANKS
Jay

Welcome to the forum!
Place to look for parts, try our used parts section.
Lots of guys move up to genIII or genIV trucks will sell off some of their parts from their genIIs. Win win for every one.
I tend to buy fair bit off summit.com, but be warned, being Cdn Summits shipping charges can be crazy, we get bent over big time at the border without so much as a kiss! Not much of a 4x4 guy (my V10 is stock) but Im sure others will be able to help there.

its gonna look silly with the back having an extra 2in of lift truck already comes raked about 2in from the factory
If it is a trail truck I would stick with 4.88's, and like stated earlier you should look into swapping some dana 60's under it, that is to keep from having to keep rebuilding the axles after breaking them
