yes you should be completely fine, it will be like leveling a regular ram, you just might have to get new shocks again if their not long enough, and get an alignment

oh yeah, but if you are going that high, you might need new brake lines.

ok um my question would be who would i get the brake lines through that would have a longer set for my truck, but not to much? basicly the front end is going to be lifted 4 to 4 1/2 inches instead of 3.

Did you end up doing it?

If you're still on the fence, I'd like to add my 2 cents. Should be absolutely no problem at all, as long as you get an alignment (mainly to correct positive camber), and you'll want to replace the shocks (your stock units will top out on rebound), and likely brake lines.

When I had my first lift I used RC 3" spindles and 2" coil spacers. It worked but you would have to be careful going over speed bumps and such because the coil spring bucket would hit the UCA.

I did not need longer brake lines and it all aligned just fine

I have the 6 inch fabtech with a 1.5 inch coil spacer on mine. It works, but like weed said, things do clash together at times...
