RE: My BAD *** 07
Hey ezluva what 8" lift kit do you have or is it a combo of suspension parts??.... Cause i really want to do a 8" lift on my 05, but i haven't been able to find anything!!
Question though, if i was to get a 6" lift can i add the leveling kit to the front end and a bigger set of block or leaf springs to the rear??... thanks for the help!!

There's one thing I just don't get...
Why would anyone buy a 1500 series to lift that high?
You run into issues with the front CV shaft angles. Then, the marginal strength of the axle assemblies in relation to the tire sizes. Then, there's the fact that the lift costs more than two times what it would cost to lift a 2500/3500 series with a solid front axle to run the same tires. Also, there's the gearing. You can't gear the truck to run right with those tires, either.
Don't tell me it's the cost of the truck; if you're sinking that much cash into a new truck, you can afford to buy a heavier duty truck to start with. Hell, you can put 33" tires on a 2500 4x4, stock.

Still nice though. What a hater! Obviously he has the money to do what he wants and if he breaks it, I doubt seriously he'll have a hard time fixin it. "you can bet tranny and axle will be my next mod"...

you can put35 inch tires on the any stock dodge without doing anything. I have a ram 1500 work truck with 35's on it and it doesnt have any lift. The bishop, ha ha,you need to change your name to The HATER. Don't get jealous Bro. I promise you there is nothing weak about this truck and I will put it up against any 2500 anytime, anyday, anywhere, you name it. What do you really know. Tell me.
