hello everyone im new hear so have some questions.
im only 16 and have gotten my first truck. 2001 dodge ram 1500 with off road package. i am wanting to lift it . i have a budget so cheapest would be great and im only lifting for the look will not be doing any off roading. thanks for the help in advace.

 

Off Road package already comes 2 inches higher than the regular 1500's... how much higher do you want to go?

 

just go with a 2-3 inch body lift if you want to go cheap. I know a lot of people dont like them but they are cheap.

 

so youre saying you have a stock off-road edition ram???? ahh hell ill just trade you my truck!

 

im 16 with my first truck too. I was doing the samething just lifting it for looks. I didn't want a body lift. I got a 3" coil spacer in front and 1.5" blocks in the back. The kit also came with new front shocks. I added in new rear shocks and a new steering stablizer. All totaling $270 shipped. From topguncustomz.

Don't know if this will work for you because you have an off-road edition, I know there are other threads on here about lifting them, I just never bothered to read them, they didn't apply to me.

 

im thinking of going more than 3 inches if possible, thinking of doing a 2 inch level and 3 inch body?

 

I think this was debated before... but, once you get over 3" of lift, (and you are already starting with 2.....) you need to address the front control arms as well. I don't know if the Off Road edition trucks came with longer control arms than the non-OR trucks.....

Once you get over that magic number 3, lifts start getting expensive.....

 

so then a 1 inch coil spacer should be good for the front­

 

And you could prolly get an inch or so from a shackle lift in back. (they are just shorter shackles....)

 

or larger block than the stock one, and if i were to go with a 3 inch body i would have around 6 inches of lift am i right´ what size tires would be good to run with no rubbing , it will just be street and road drivin so wont be any flex.
