I have a question I have a 1500 ram 01, and I wanted to jack it up a little. I put on 31 10.50s and I bile a custom light rack. However, I still do not have the ground clearance I won’t. With being a college student, I have very little funds to have fun. so what would a pare of 2500 or 3500 front springs do? would it raise me up at all.
Thanks

 

i've been looking into the same thing. from what i've read, 2500 springs is what you should do. 3500 springs will only give you a stiffer ride, no more height. but you would also need an add a leaf kit to lift up the back. there are some guys online that have done it and said they were happy. im just waiting to get some more cash and then get everything myself and get it done. but im in no rush since i just put new tires on, and if i do this, im sure i'd want bigger tires to fill up the space.

 

yea good point. about how much to you gain in lift with the 2500?

 

2500 desie springs will give you like 2-3" if Im correct. For the rear you can do an add a leaf or blocks, you really dont need new front shocks, but it is recommended with the 3" lift. I put the top gun customz kit and it was about 189 plus 35 for shipping. Great priced kit and it was a 3" lift kit

 

would a set of springs from a 1500 offroad work? mine sits higher than a regular 1500 and then you wouldn't have the harsh ride of a 2500

 

how can you be in college and spell like that?

 

No need for the bashing, typos can occur, and some people just type like that just because...

You can also do a body lift if ya want, those kits are only like 200 bucks for a 3 inch, those will help tuck your tires

 

he could also, but it seems to me a body lift is more work then a susp. lift such as the one from top gun tht i refered about

 

lol yea yea I know I cant spell that well but im a wiz with video and audio. And any thing to do with cars trucks or welding.
So the 2500 diesel springs will lift about 2.5-3 in. I do not riley care for body lifts. I was just trying to find an inexpensive way to get my truck a little taller. and i can get 2500 springs for about $50-$70.

 

im glad there is somone else who CANT spell i get razed for it every once and a while too no biggy if they cant figure it out then they can just move on right....

i know some pepole say you wont need to change your shocks i would especally if there stock or older lesser qualty ones i think the cheapest way to get upto 3 inches is blocks in the rear and coil spacers in the front but if you can get 2500 springs cheap that would be the way id go more profeshional looking and personally id stay away from the body lift im the kinda guy who dispises them
