Hey new the site
I got a 1997 reg cab short box dodge ram 1500
318 with a skyjacker lift
I think i got a 5 inch kit and its the flex 2 kit

Now heres my problem
I want to make my truck sit level again coil in front are sagging
I already got spacers in them
Now i bought the truck lifted so im not exact sure how big the lift is
The flex 2 kit can range from 4 to 7 inchs
The rear blocks are in it now are 5 inches total
So does that mean I have a 5 inch lift
Cause stock these trucks came with a 2 or 3 inch block
I just dont wanna buy new coils and they be the wrong size
I was looking at skyjacker new 5 inch coils
Thanks for anyone with any help

 

I'm going out on a limb here, and don't know much about lifts. But factory blocks are like 3 inches on a 1500. So I'm going with, you have a 2 inch lift installed. Get new oem coils if the are sagging and you already have spacers in front. Need to know how big the front spacers are though.

 

The oem blocks count as lift. So if your blocks are now 5" then you need to match te front for 5"... If your spacers are 2" get 3" coils or vise versa.

 

If you go by that, then he needs 7"'s in the front to level it. LOL

 

thanks for info
i wonder if ill run into problems with a 7 inch coil with the front with the driveshaft angle
I been reading on the net 7 inchs lift causes alot of issues with these trucks
I dont want to have clock the transfer and be doing u joints all the time
Maybe i should leave it how it is and order a new 5 inch coil?
I really dont like the coil spacers anyways
Fabteck makes a 5.5 inch spring but im sure it be way more expensive then a skyjacker coil

 

I have a lightly used set of SJ 5" coils that I will sell cheap $75 shipping not included.

 

?

5" of block in the back means 5" of lift... Just like the oem block means 3" of lift.
He's got 2" of lift over stock in the rear. He's got spacers in the front, I'm guessing 2" spacers. So buying a 3" lift coil eill bring the net gain in the front to 5" over stock.

Ditch the spacers (don't throw it away tho...) and buy Mercs coils

 

How does the OEM block (stock height) equal 3" of lift? Lol.

 

If you have a stock 4x4 and buy 3" lift coils for the front and you have oem 3" blocks in the back your truck is leveled and lifted 3"
