V10 4x4 coil spring
I am trying to find out if my truck is lifted and if so how much. I know there is a 2" spacer on top of the front coil spring. But am not sure if it is a stock coil spring. What is the installed height of a coil spring for a 1999 ram 2500 v10 extended cab? I am thinking it has a lift because it fits 35s easily and I was able to run 37's with just minor rub on the rear of the tires.
The 3/4 and 1 ton trucks sit higher than their half ton brothers, so, it's entirely possible that you still have stock springs. 35's would likely clear just fine with a 2" leveling kit. Whats the rear suspension look like?
Yes, you probably have stock springs under there. 35's clear on my 2500 v10 with no lift. I did put new diesel springs in a couple years ago because the front springs were sagging and would hit the stops going over speed bumps.
mine is V10/4x4/stock and it's 40" measuring from ground to bottom of fender. I don't see any spacers on the on the coil......oh yeah, my tires are 30" tall. however that fits into the equation.

here are a few pics of my rear suspension and 1 of the front. sorry they are not very clear its hard to get a picture behind a 37" tire.
also a picture of the truck itself.
i am replacing all tie rods and installing a 3rd gen track bar this weekend hopefully.
i really need to know if they are stock springs because i have a guy local that has 2" springs and if these are stock i will get them to add when i do all the work on the front end
also a picture of the truck itself.

i just went out and measured it is 45" to the ground from the fender lip. so when you figure 3.5 inches is from the tires compared to race fans truck then its only 1.5 inches higher. probably from the 2.5 spacer and then the added weight of the bumper. looks like i am going to add 2" springs when i am tearing in to the front end. makes me glad i got the adjustable track bar.
thank you race fan and everyone else that commented for the help
