I agree!! Go with the rancho!! Rough country makes some cheap shocks, which are ok, but with a lift there is more to consider then just shocks! But if I did a suspension lift I would not do a rough country lift!

I do believe so! Lifting the body off the frame 3" should not get in the way of your suspension lift.

4 wheel parts for $1500 with free shipping a 4 free Rancho RS9000x shocks. But also a different kit as my '04 has a torsion bar IFS front end, where you '06+ guys are coil over IFS.
We all are really on the short end with our weak IFS systems, the process is stronger, cheaper and easier to install on SFA trucks. Lets get up a group bye on 2500 CTD 4x4s. I'm sure Chrysler would cut us a hot deal with the way the auto industry is now if we could scrape up a dozen or so buyers...

Went to dealership today for an Xmas present for my mom for her '08 Grand Caravan. New '08 2500 CTD 4x4 on the lot, loaded with $48k sticker was on sale for $31,995! Shame of it is, I'd not get more than about $12k for my '04 Laramie with 38k miles and $8k in mods on it...

He has 2005 so he has a torsion front end.

4 wheel parts has 4-5 different 4" Rancho suspension lifts for the 2005. The price ranges depending on what color and what shocks?? And the Rancho lifts are 4" front and 2.5" rear so it levels your truck as well!

Oops, sorry bout that. But I think you mean Torsion Bar, all of us 1500 3rd genner's have IFS. So many have responded to this thread I was to lazy to go back to the first post, thought I was responding to someone with an '06. My bad...
