does the 3.5' lift compromise your stability at all?

 

I'm not trying to start ****, but how come every time somebody asks about lifting a 2wd somebody else has to chime in and say "its stupid", "why do you want to do that". Its his truck and he can do whatever the hell he wants to do. It'd be easy to say "How you you put all those performance parts on your truck? cold air intake, a chip, exhaust? Its not a race car and will never be as fast as one"...

Just my 2 cents

Anyways, top gun customs makes good stuff from what I hear. I'd stay away from the spacers though.

 

I've got a 2wd 99 ram quad. I just put on a 4" rancho suspension lift from 4wheelparts.com 290 shipped!!! w/o shocks. Shocks extra was 140 bucks. Less than 500 shipped you can have a 4" lift that comes with subframe drop, front coils, spindles, rear blocks and shackles. I run 33's with this setup. Go to the clearance section and look for suspension or rancho and you'll see it there. THey've still got a bunch.

I had to ask a guy at a local 4wheelparts what shocks to use for the front since the manual didn't say.

 

You want to go cheap? This maybe isn't the best...but definetly cheap.

Get2 1/2" coil spacers for the front and add-a-leafs for the back. Depending on which add-a-leafs you get, they could give you 2-3" in the back. Lift manufacturers say you will need longer shocks on the front but the stock ones will still fit and you won't need the extra travel if you're staying on the road. Parts total about 200 bucks and you won't get the *** sag that most lifted truckshave when hauling. If you do it this way, be sure to get an alignmentto correct the front end geometry or you'll eat through a set of expensive mud tires real fast.

 

Thanks for everyones input. I also have a 2wd. As stated above would love 4wd but i got mine for $4000. That I can afford. I never leave the pavement but love the look also. I had been looking into the blocks summit sells, but wasn't sure what kind of problems I might be looking at. On a side note, it could be just me, but i used to have an 84 S-10. It handled very well in the snow. But my 01 1500 sucks. I can barely make it down the street without going in the ditch. Aside from new tires and the 15 sandbags over the rear axle any other suggestions?

 

how much did installation cost on the 4' lift?
