More lift??!!
Hello my name is Moe, I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2 with a 2 inch front coil spacer lift on 20x9s (which fit great). I'm also looking to install a 3" body lift. Is there way to raise the front end more than just 2 inches? Possibly with 2wd lift spindles or control arms? I was also wondering if can use control arms and or spindles from a newer Dodge Ram or a Chevy with IFS suspension. I want to have somewhere around 7" total in the front and a 6" rear block. Please holler back if you have any ideas guys...
You have a solid axle front suspension, so, no parts from an IFS truck are going to interchange. You can get lift kits for your truck as high as you want to go, but, start going beyond about 3" suspension lift, and it gets expensive quick. 6-7 inch lift is going to cost you north of a grand, probably closer to 2K. (if you do it right......)
Also, keep in mind, your half ton axles won't be happy with tires much over 35"........ You will be wearing out/breaking front end parts on a regular basis.

Sorry guys forgot to add that the truck is 2wd. Mr Jeff, I've visited the link you sent me for the 2wd spindles, is this a reliable site?
