I am wanting to put a 4 or 6 inch lift on my 02 Dodge Ram quad cab and I was wondering about my driveshaft... Will it be long enough? what about the angles?

Thanks!
Steve

 

yeah, it would be long enough for any reputable kit. Name brand kits take everything into account when they are designed and come with everything you need to just drive off after installation. I'm not a huge fan of a 6" kit on an IFS truck, although most with one, never have a problem.
I've long said that the relatively weak CV axles do not fare as well at the angle a 6" kit puts them on and couple that with the weight of a really large tire and you kinda ask for trouble when pushing the truck hard.
A 4" of suspension lift is PLENTY to run 35s but if you just have to run 37s or 38s, then a 4" suspension lift combined with a 3" body lift is a stronger setup than a 6" suspension lift, IMO...

 

you may have a slight vibration when accelerating. Nothing a 1'' transfer case drop wont fix, it will but you drive shaft at a better angle and a simple installe.

 

yeah same as what hammer and countryboy said...the high line lifts are gonna have everything in them you need to install it and drive away...but i would deffinitly go with a 4" lift and a 3" body lift.....

 

yeah, more than likely I will probably get a 4" and 35's. Thats enough for me. I have been looking at a rough country lift.. any opinions?

 

also I see it comes with an option of 2 or 3" rear blocks. I should go with 3 correct? http://www.roughcountry.com/dodge_4wd_02-05_5x.html

 

I have the Rancho 4", I drove a LOT of trucks with suspension kits before making my choice. I only had done body lifts before this and wanted to gather as much info as possible before such a major purchase and bugged more than a few members of my hunting club to drive or at least ride off road in their truck.
I did NOT have that opportunity to drive a truck with the Rough Country kit, but did look at it online. At roughly $500 or so cheaper than the Rancho, it's tempting, and Rough Country has an EXCELLENT reputation. I liked the more solid, one piecse sub-frame of the Rancho as opposed to the two separate crossmembers that Rough Country and most others use. Don't know if it makes the Rancho any better or not, it's just that caught my eye.
I'm sure the Rough Country kit will suite your needs just fine, like I said, they have a very good reputation...

 

what size tires should I run? Is 325/70R18 too wide? That is a 35" tire correct?

 

the one you linked to is the one i am thinking about purchasing. its hard to beat the price.

i am going to go with the 3inch if i get that one because i have my torsion bar already adjusted to make my truck level.
