Default stock lift plus 3 inch

i have the offroad package on a 2000 1500 with the off road package. i was wondering how the front end is lifted. is it just longer coil springs or is there something else. Also i wanted to konw if it is possible to put a 3 inch lift along with the stock one. I was thinkin about getting the rancho 3 in. because it has the aal and coils spacer up front. Would i just need longer ubolts to account for the extra 2 inches from the stock blck in the back, or am i missing something? However, i was also thinkin i would like to level my truck. In order to do that along with the 3 in lift, i would need new coil springs and a spacer, correct? Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated. thanks for the help too.

oh yeah, i forgot to ask if i would have any problems with the driveshaft length or anything else like that

Off Roads are lifted 2" from the factory. Bigger coils up front so if you want a 3" lift make sure to get the 3" coils for the Off Road, or you could get 5" coils from a regular, I suppose that'd work too.

The coils are basically the same length, the difference is in how stiff they are. The off road coils are stiffer, therefore taller when installed (factory pre leveled).

i do belive the offroad ones are taller, depending how much travel you want to get you can also put in a coil spacer to get some hight too thus using the same coils

if u put a leveling kit and a 3" body lift on you will be able to clear 35s

that is the same truck that i got and i put a 5" suspension lift on but it only gave me 3" higher and did the leveling kit and a 3" body lift and im clearing my 37s by about 2" and full turn
