Default 2006 Lift Kit Advice

All,

I am looking for advice for a 4 - 6" lift kit for my 2006 Ram 1500. I want to put 35 or 36's on it. Does anyone have a suggestion? Also, does anyone know what a fair cost is for installing the lift kit?

Thanks

'06 1500 Quad Cab TRX4
Mopar Cold Air Intake
Flowmaster Dual Exhaust

depends if it is a 2wd or 4wd. I had a 2wd and I did a 6" spindel lift from ebay and it was a good kit. Paid 600 for the kit and 300 for the install. They were my buddies and I helped them out, but It only took us 3 hours to complete with the alignment and putting the 35s on my stock rims. But if you are a 4wd the s5s should fit no problem witha 4".

oh sorry...most places will charge 400 for the install. If its higher than that they are ripping you off, Talk them down to the 400 or less if you can.
