Check out Top Guns Customz. They have all sorts of cool toys that will get you drooling.

if you want stiffer than stock, just go with some 2500, or 3500 springs.

I'm thinking ill just go with the 3 inch lift from the 2500 or 3500 springs in the front, a full length add a leaf for 3 inches in the back and hopefully much stiffer, new shovks an then a body lift. Any body know o a nice set of heavier duty shocks? Also if there is one, a AAL that is a lot stiffer than stock, as Said before, I will have a sled deck in the truck regularly loaded with two snow machines so about 1500-2000 pounds. Stock suspension isn't cuttin it.

^^^ +1 on that. Up here over the past few years the law has been just hammering the 1/2 ton guys for overloaded weight. All the big trucks (lifted) up here with sled decks and two sleds are 3/4- 1 ton nothing less.

I would also look at adding air-bags for the rear of the truck, just using a add a leaf for extra weight will only work for so long. My op on a sled deck two sleds and a body lift just don't work, I would never do it.

Trust me, I would love a cummins. Money just isn't there to buy one... Will 2004 cummins front suspension fit the same as a 2nd gen cummins susspension would?

3/4 tons come with a gas engine option too, not just a cummins. The payload is better on that than your half ton and they're not much more expensive than your truck.

Search for ram '08.5+ heavy duty suspension. They'll fit your truck.
