Two to four inches. Depending on how badly yours are sagging.

Shackle flip would probably do the trick. The real issue is your front end... You will need a new track bar for that much lift, and a drop pitman arm or something to compensate in the steering.

Yes. No.


Anything more than 3" of lift needs steering/track bar compensation.
1500's need 4-5" of lift to fit 35's, unless you are comfortable cutting stuff.

I have a question.. I have a 1997 2WD dodge ram.. Could I lift the front with 3500 springs and just put blocks on the back? Or will I need different shocks?
