Hey guys,

I was hoping that you could give me some advice on a lift kit. I've been kinda bumed out by my truck lately then i saw that "fabtech" offers a lift kit for a 2wd. I know that lifting a 2wd doesn't really give it any more practicalicaly but i like the look and the stance of my truck sucks with club cab and long bed it's just not right, anyways there are 2 kits a 3inch and a 61/2 inch one, of course i'd like the 61/2 but 3 would be good too. I would not want to chance the tire combo that i have which are the aluminum dodge and bridgestone. just wondering if i could still use stock wheel and tires and if not are there other kits? links? and they dont seem to tell u how much they cost. thanks a bunch!! oh tire size is 16" Bridgstone Duravis LT245/75R16

 

I know exactly what you are saying about wanting a little bit taller truck. I lifted mine with the fabtech 3" spindle lift and I have 295/75/16 nitto terrs grapplers under mine. There is no rubbing and I have stock wheels. Here is a pic of it:

right on! ur truck is almost exactly the same as mine cept u got the short bed which looks better. anyways if you could give me a link to where you got them and how much ya paid that'd be great!!

 

http://www.fabtechmotorsports.com is the link I bought mine from and i don't remember the cost it was 3 or 4 years ago.

3 inch rough country lift for a 2wd dodge.. says its a "budget lift".. comes with 2 3 inch coils.. 1 inch blocks for the back(level it off) and new shocks for 229 bucks.. very good deal in my eyes

 

oh koo yeah that was the price range i was looking at!! whats the realiablity difference with the spindles better or worse?

 

you know your going to hear the fact that you will ruin ur mpg worse, but if i were u i would do 6" with some perfect tires on sexy wheels and be aweseome lookin

 

i got a 6 inch on 35's on my truck but its a 4x4.. so it already sits 2 inches higher then a 2wd

 

Don't stack blocks in the rear for the lift. Since you have a 2wd I'd go with a leaf pack from a 4x4 truck (I think they're taller), you might be able to find used ones like out of an offroad package or something that was hit in the front in a junkyard for a few bucks and labor to remove. If not, the extra cash for a spring lift in the rear is worth the $ in my book.

 

so a 3" lift would bring my truck up to where the 4x4 are? cause thats about where i want mine just right ya know, so is it possible to get the springs and leafs from a 4x4 ram and just transfer them or will that not work.
