So I have 99 ram 1500 5.9 gas and my suspension is at the end of it's life
I'm shopping around online and got overwhelmed at the different choices and want to know what the community think is best
I want to do a 3 inch lift nothing too major and I got an idea of what to get for the front coils but was wondering what are the best options for the rear
Should I just do OEM and get blocks should I try these skyjacker leafs or one of the other brands
Any input would be appreciated

 

You already have some blocks in the rear, adding more is a really bad idea. (or, just swapping it for a taller one.....) Replacing the springs, and eliminating ALL of the blocks would be my favorite solution. Second best would be replacing the springs, but, retaining the stock blocks. (the bump stop is on them in any event...)

Now, as for my reasoning. The block acts as a lever against the spring. When you apply power, regardless of direction, the axle tries to twist the spring into an S...... it's bad enough with the stock blocks, if you install another block, or a taller single block, you are giving the axle a longer lever arm, and that MULTIPLIES the amount of force the axle can apply to the spring, and you end up with a really bad case of axle-wrap under any kind of 'spirited' acceleration.

Besides, replacing the springs will get you better articulation as well.

 

The OEM rear springs are soft if you actually use the truck as a truck. I'd get used packs and add a leaf or two.
