I'm looking to replace my shocks all around with some Bilsteins but am a bit unsure if the rascal has a lift on it or not. I was hoping maybe someone here could help me out. This is a 2002 Ram 2500 with the V8 and 4WD. It seems a bit higher than my old 97 V10 and I'd found some other modified items on it. It needed a few repairs when I purchased it, so just shocks and seals... then brake lines LOL. Yes, I know they had some overspray with the red. I'll probably cover that up with something else when I do the brake lines anyways.


Thank you again, you guys have been a huge help in the past!

 

That DOES appear to sit a bit higher than I would expect... what size tires ya have on there?

Not sure if the rear blocks are stock or not, mine are cast..... yours look like some parts have been welded.....

 

The tires are 305/70/16. It seems to sit higher in the back than my old Ram. I made a loading dock in the yard for the old one and this one seems at least 2 inches higher in the back. Since I've seen a few of similar height in the area, I wasn't sure if this was stock or not. Then again, everyone around here takes their trucks to the dunes. The truck did come with a custom tranny and exhaust but the shocks (even with a coat of paint) appear to be stock and very well used.

 

Also, sorry about the title. For some reason it must have auto corrected to advise instead of advice. Didn't catch that till now LOL

 

Are there any spacers above the front springs? Can you post a pic of them??

 

It the photo isn't large enough, I can increase the size.

 

Need pic of the springs, where they go up into the upper bucket.

 

Just measured, it's a hair under 1/8" spacer.

 

Any stickers/labels on the front springs??

 

I wish!! The guys I bought it from had painted most of the underbody including the shocks and springs. If it ever stops raining, I'll just take these off and measure but apparently that's not happening for another couple days LOL
