I have a 2001 Ram Sport Off Road edition and a few weeks ago I heard a clicking when I was in 4h. I figured out it was from my tires rubbing on my suspension. I didn't do anything about it and figured I could just keep it in 2wd. I was looking under it while changing my oil and a lot of my front end parts need to be replaced. Right now I'm at the maximum lift for stock front end parts so I was wondering if anyone new what it would cost to upgrade my front end parts to what I would need for a bigger lift kit or any other ways to stop the rubbing.

Check the u-joints also. A lot of times they will click when they're bad, that is before they blow apart.

More than 3" of lift= longer control arms. Buy 5" springs, trac bar drop bracket from skyjacker, drop pitman arm and the extended length control arms. Topguncustomz.com

Ok thanks that helps a lot. Most of the lift kits I'm looking at come with that stuff I just wanted to make sure I didn't need to buy more extra.

I had to replace the u-joints about 3,000 miles ago and they're still good.
