coilovers would be more fabrication that I care to do. but i have seen it done, on 2wd. welds were horrible and it didnt look safe but I have seen it done. pretty sure it was on here as well.

 

Haha don't worry. Ill either take it to this fabrication shop close to where I live, or design myself before I build. I love researching things like that and may just do the work myself...

 

how wide does the lift spindles send out the wheels in the front. cause i did a spindle/ shackle lift on my 2wd s10 and it was 1' wider. and where can i buy them.

 

In not sure but im guessing 1.5"-2" wider. But you can either get them from Fabtech, or www.doetsch-shocks.com. Which is where ill get mine from. They're cheaper.

 

okay thanks for the info. what are your plans for your truck?

 

Im gonna go for the prerunner look, with fiberglass fenders and stuff. I didn't like the look at first, but it grew on me. I want to design a midtravel suspension later down the road.

 

that would look pretty cool. i think im gonna go with the 6/3 lift and get soe 35s. i love the look of the silver truck from earlier.

joekool4- did you do the spindles up front? does it sit level? oh and what size tires are you running. sorry about all the questions, im just used to driving chevys so im trying to learn dodges now.

 

I bought it this way, I'm pretty sure (from doin other suspension work) that its just 3inch lift springs in the front and 4X4 blocks and springs in the back. It sits even with my friends 98 4X4 Offroad. Right now im running 265/70/17 (aprox. 32s) Nexen street SUV tires (MPGs) on 17X10 Pacer P185 baja rims, will be getting A/Ts soon hopefully. I would like to go down to 15 or 16s and maybe go up a size to 33s maybe even 35s if I get thinner rims and a little more lift. after I fix the broken stuff I will be getting spindles and control arms and leafs in the back, i dont really care for body lifts and spacers. I hope to eventually get it to midtravel prerunner, BUT if something should happen to it I LOVE the RamRunner and have talked to the stealership near me that will put the stuff and not void the warrenty if i take it back to them. but thats only in an extreme case like i total my truck and have the insurance pay out a butt load.

1,000 bucks aint that bad http://www.doetsch-shocks.com/16.asp

EDIT: if you do spend over a couple hundred bucks on mods make sure your insurance will pay for it. I have 5 grand of aftermarket coverage on the truck and I think 1500 on the bike.

 

yeah 1000 isnt bad at all but it just doesnt sound like a level lift. i mean i could always add bigger blocks or an add a leaf.

 

I think it is a level lift, i think a leveling kit is somethign like 2.5" in the front only. so 6up front and 3 in the back should be pretty close to level. if you notice the lowering kits are the opposite. 2 down in the front and 4 down in the back.
