I noticed some people getting 2.5" front raises on this site? Why is that? Do stock 1500's come with a lower suspension in the front? My 1500 seems like its just as high as a 2500 or 1500 hemi.... and its even on both sides..

sorry im kinda a newb its my frist truck

 

well lets start with this... what tuck do you have exactly... and o you have pics?

 

TD, dont be so rough man!

 

Geez TD, do you use that line with women too?[sm=smiley17.gif]

The reason for the front raise is the front sits lower so that when you have a load in your truck it will sit level. If yours is level it's either got a leveling kit or they've cranked up the torsion bars.

 

TD I have a 05 Ram 4.7 2dr longbed...Ill try and get a pic up in a few hours

 

not tryin to be rough fellas! LOL ok so is it 2wd or 4wd.... the front end normally sits lower and the stances between a hemi and a 4.7 dont really vary... and unless you have some kind of lift you arent goin to be as high as a 2500....

 

Look closely at the front springs -- there may be a black/red/blue/whatever color donut-looking thing at the top of the spring. That would be the lift. Someone may have gotten gimpy and put longer springs on it. That apparently is a bit of over-kill.

Oh, welcome to the group! Congrats on your new ride!

 

Its a 4x4 Ill look in a little bit...Thanks for the info guys

 

Don't bother looking for a "donut thing" dude. You have an '05 4x4, it's not coil over, it's torsion bar suspension. It's possible your torsion bars have been cranked a couple of turns to level it. Shoot me a pic of your truck, taken from the side, on as levelground as possible. I'll tell you what's been done, if anything, to it...

 

Didn't know 'til later it's 4x4
