Default Few questions reguarding lift.

Good evening,

My name is derek, and i am a soon to be new truck owner. I have owned a lifted jeep grand cherokee for the past couple years, and i have a few questions reguarding lifting a ram.

I'm possibly buying my girlfriends parents '00 ram sport with 80k milesext cab short bed.we haven't settled on a price, but it has all the options i want, such as leather, cd, premium sound, etc.

I want to lift this truck a little bit, solely for cosmetics, this truck will remain on the road whereas my jeep will be my offroad vehicle. I want something along the lines of a leveling kit or something close to it, (4" front, 2" rear).

ultimatly i want to fit 35's, but i dont want to spend too much money on the way. I was wondering the minimal parts i need to buy for a 4" front 2" rear lift. I figured id just use a 2" block in the rear.

so the main question is, what parts do i NEED to lift the front 4", and whats the biggest size tire i can run with this lift.

thanks for your time and have a good day.

welcome to the dodgeforumes

if your looking for a cheap lift you could go with some 2500 springs in the fron with a 2' spacer wich would be a total of 4" in the front then for the rear you could get a AAL, i think thats 2 inches

with the 4 inch front and 2 rear im pretty sure you can run 35's but you might need to do a little trimming, as dar as trac bars and stuff im not sure but you would need some new shock i know that much
