well im Tyler and im a new member and 2 months ago i bought a mint 2003 dodge ram 1500 larami 4x4 q-cab. i love it to death and it came with some mods but........now im looking into the off road scene. im looking at buying a lift kit and i herd that skyjacker 6" is a good choice, however im intrested in a higher lift kit more then 6" if possibol but cant seem to find one, if anyone can help me out, thanks

There might be a Kore 8" lift, not sure. You might as well get the 6" and a 3" body lift.

 

If you go too big with a lift and tires, you wil run into more trouble than it will be worth. I have a 6in Skyjacker on mine with 35's. I could have put 37's, but even the Skyjacker rep suggested 35's. Good luck

 

Why do people still put skyjackers on trucks . I don't know why someone would say skyjacker is a good choice. For jeeps they're amazing, but not for a full size truck. I'm not sure what height you're looking to achieve, but for a Ram, i'd suggest a Fabtech lift kit for 6" lift. Remember you can also add body lifts. I know there's a 8" for 3rd gen 2500/3500, but i don't think i've ever seen one for a 1500.

I heard stacking suspension lifts and body lifts can cause for a horrible ride. I know this is true in my buddys chevy, im not sure about dodge though. Someone might chime in that has both and share

 

thanks, well i plan on using this truck as my little offroad toy, so ride quality isnt to much of a concern, as far as height goes id like to make it as kigh as possibol, but as far as it seems theres nothing bigger then a 6" lift for the ram 1500, so it looks like im stuck with a 6" lift 3" body and 37" tires, what do you guys think, the trails me and my buddies go threw consists of really deep, thick mud btw

 

I think that's probably what you're going to have to end up doing. I checked every manufacture i could think of. I did find a 7" but it was for 2wd only.

 

You might want watch out for the body lift. If you encounter too much frame twist it could snap the bolts that hold the body down causing the body to slide off the truck. It would be a crappy day. If you still decide to get it, check ebay. Got mine for $190. Good luck.

 

thanks alot guys, thats probly what ill do then, much appreciated

It'd be expensive, but you could probably get a custom lift made.
