Exclamation Spindle Lifts (Pics)

Going to get 4" Lift Spindles but not sure if I will need blocks out back...My truck is a 2007 1500 QC SLT 2WD. I will be taking out my coil spacers.

So to help me decide I want to see some pics of Rams with 4" Lift Spindles and different block sizes out back: none, 1.5", 2", or 3".
I tried the search function and Google Images but didn't find what I was looking for.


Also will I be able to fit 35's with out being crammed or should I go with some 33's?

Thanx, all pics and info will be helpful.

With my 04 QC I did a 3" spindle and a 1" spacer and still was about an 1" taller in the back. But I do have a full grill guard and winch on the front so keep that in mind. Ive got pics in my sig. My old lift was with my 22s. When I got my 24s I went higher to fit my 36s.

I found a good one on DT...

Doetsch Tech
- 4" Spindles
- 2" Coils
- 2" rear blocks

Bilstein Shocks
RideRite Airbags


OEM 17" Chrome Clad Wheels
Dick Cepek FC-II 35x12.5x17 Tires












Guess I will need to add some 2" coils to the kit I buy though...or should I keep my 2.5" spacers? Will it be the same thing?
I dont want the nose up, either level or slightly lower.

That would be about the same as mine then because I have 3" spindles, 3" springs and 1" spacer with a 1" block in the rear with a 3" shackle

CST and Doetsch Tech both make good spindle kits, and you can buy their parts individually.

Looks good weed ...but I don't think I would go any bigger than 35's with 17 or 18 inch wheels.

I guess I will take it one thing at a time and see how it looks with the 4" lift spindles and 2" blocks (that's what comes with the kit). Then depending on how it looks I will add the spacers or 2" coils in there .
