I have a 1500 ram, off road edition, was wandering what kind of lift I could get in the front by replacing springs from maybe a 2500 or something like that, then using shackles in the rear

 

Off road edition? So you already have a 2.5 in lift right? Or something like that.

Either way Your springs are already equivalent to 2500 springs so you won't see any lift

 

yes, the rear measures 42 inches and the front is 40

 

You can use any lift spring just take 1.75"-2" off the lift kit height, IE a 5" = 3" a 7"=5". If you use spring spacers with the ord springs then yes will go up whatever size spacer you install. 3" of lift ore or not is the point of adding more parts to the list.

 

coil spacer is cheaper and just as easy... just get a 2.5" spacer and be happy.

 

+1, determine how much more lift you want and go from there.
