Default I want to add some lift.

Hello all, I have a 1996 Dodge Ram Sport 4x4. Right now it has a 3 inch Rancho suspension lift on it with 33x12.50 tires. Id like to add another 2 inches of lift. I have been looking at body lifts, although I dont know what it would look like, I don't much care for the looks of a 3 inch body lift but I'm wondering how a 2 inch would look. Also if anyone knows of a way to get an extra 2 inches of lift without a body lift I'm open for all suggestions and input on that. The Rancho lift consists of spacers that go on top of the coil springs for the front, different control arms and as for the rear it was add a leafs and blocks. Anyway if anyone has any ideas on that or pics of trucks with a 2 inch bl let me know. Thanks!

i hear diesel coil springs on a half ton add 2ins of lift and you can do another add a leaf or get a bigger block(i wouldnt go over 4in block tho)

but to do it right and i'm not sure if you already installed this lift or bought it with it but a 4.5 liftat top gun customs or other places are pretty cheap..


and with these dodges when u do a body lift you can get gap gaurds and bumper brackets so there is not gap between body and bumper

I have a body lift and you cant really tell imo. whats nice is that the plastic wheel wells in the back cover the gap

Going more then 3" on suspension is going to require that you do something about the front axle. Control arms, track bar, sway bar, steering linkage.... gets expensive quick. Body lift would be MUCH cheaper..... Guess it depends on how much ya wanna spend.
