So I have a 2008 1500 4x2. Long story short I got a little rough with it and I THINK I compressed the spring WAY too much. My front right tire rubbed the top of the wheel well very bad, bottomed out a bit. now the truck pulls to the right, and the right side is about 1 1/2" lower on that side. Took it to the dealer and they said everything is fine, they just re-aligned my truck..... retards.

I want a slight lift, about 3 inches or so. So would I be able to get a set of new springs, Skyjacker D30 I'm thinking with a set of new shocks to go along with it, and still be ok? Or do I need to go ahead and get a whole lift kit?

Thanks for your help guys.

 

Rappage on DT just sold his 3" body lift. You can level the front to get the lift you want ot lift the entire truck. Which would you rather do?

 

I just want to lift the front 3 inches. But I need new springs and shocks I think.

 

If you level you will not need springs as the coild spacers you will use will go on top of the springs. If you went 2" I would say keep the shocks you have now but if you really go 3" then I would say to go with a longer shock.

Although if you didnt want to use coil spacer you could use 3" taller springs but I never found anyone who made them for a 2wd AND a HEMI. They make them for 4wd and 4.7s but not the HEMI. I was told from one of the dealers Top Gun Customs when I called looking for some that it had to do with weight issues.

 

I don't see how you could compress the spring too much.
I guess you might bottom out a shock and tweak it, but it would be obvious, and shouldn't affect your steering I don't think. you sure you're not just being paranoid?

 

I had 2" spacers on it before, and the drop on the right side was a LOT more noticeable. When I took the spacers off it was still lower on the right, but just not as bad. I don't want to have to drive around with a 2" spacer on the right, and none on the left, just to be leveled.

I heard over time the springs wear and start to drop, so I figured if I came down too hard on the right, maybe it was messed up.
