Kinda like the title says...does anyone know if 96 CTD 3/4 Ton 4x4 springs (front and rear) will fit on a 96 1/2 Ton 4x4 with no sport package?

Are you going for a stiffer ride? [>:]

The rears are too wide IIRC. You'd have to replace the hangers as well. The fronts will work.

 

Noooooooooo...not going for a stiffer ride. I'm going for a "factory" (read: cheap) lift kit. My stock truck has managed to clear 33" tires stock...but I would like to have a little extra until I finally bite and get the Whiplash lift kit! Also, does anyone know how much that would lift the front? I could always have a leaf added to the rear...blocks (beyond factory) are not an option.

Why not use the offroad coils, they are almost as tall as the diesel springs.

 

Are Sport springs really almost as tall as diesel springs??

Zach

 

I have the diesel springs on my truck... cost me $25 bux and gave me approx 2.5" of lift in the front. the rear 3/4 ton springs are 1/2" wider IIRC so it may not work w/o modding it.

edit: oh yeah, I also have tires that are close to 34" in diameter and they clear with plenty of room to spare.

 

Sport springs aren't any different....off-road package springs are.

 

i know off road packages are taller then 4x4's.. but what makes it higher in the back?? i saw pics and they both have those blocks in the back.. (ram 1500 4x4's and ram 1500 4x4 offroads).. so im guessing its a AAL?? if so i'd just get the leaf springs and coils off a junked offroad and put them on

 

Anyone know if I'll need new control arms if I put diesel springs w/ 2" spacers on my truck?

Zach

 

I think so... the stockers will pull the axle back too far and you'll rub.
