Default Do I have a lift kit

I bought this truck 3 years ago from dealer, it's a 2004 ram 1500 5.7 hemi. Keep in mind that those are 35'' BF all terrain tires on there! I'm asking because in almost all the postes about 35'' tires, everyone is saying to add a lift kit. My torsion bolts are about 1/2 bolted and no the shocks never tap off and the rear leaf spring or on the oem plate on the axle. I wanted to add a 2'' suspention lift (front level and 2'' block in rear), but I don't know anymore.

Thanks.

Doesn't look like it. Torsion bars are turned up though

You don't have a lift kit, your truck is leveled in the front though. All you have is a torsion bar crank, which is enough to fit 35's in there.

Torsion bars are half crancked and no I don't see any lift components. Is it possible that the levelling keys has allredy been installed

Anyone has a picture of there truck with a 2'' suspention lift

I saw some suspension levelling kits for about 300$, front keys and back blocks, how good are those kits

Thanks

His is IFS also, just has a Torsion Bar suspension as opposed to the Coil Overs found on the 06+ 1500s.

OK,Well either way it should look more or less the same as mine with my 2" spacers. He wanted a pic of a 2"lift right?
