That's why I have redneck friends...They have all the tools in the world and we always do installs in driveways and friends' shops. I think mine took just a few hrs when we did it

 

Hopefully when JRam gets around to doing his Spindle lift he'll let me know so I can go watch/help for when I do my Spindle lift. I've got everything in sight just $$$ holding me back haha, worst case if I have to pay a bit of taxes my package is going to run me $2900-$3300: 4" CST Spindle Lift w/ 1" blocks, 17" Black Artillery Wheels, LT295/70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers, Rancho9000XL's w/ Wireless myRide setup. After that being done in a driveway, heading over to a shop to get the wheels and tires mounted then aligned ^_^

I'd say call up a friend or pray someone on here is near you to help you out like JRam is to me and save yourself the $. Just my .02

 

It isn't just a matter of know-how. For me at least. I also don't have the equipment and tools I would need. I'm not a gearhead and I doubt I'll become one. I don't mind getting my hands dirty, but I don't have anyone knowledgeable around to help with mods and the last thing I want to do is make a mess of the truck I just paid off.

So for the big stuff, I don't mind paying experts to do it.

Little stuff I can do myself. Just today I read the posts on the TMR Delete mod, for instance. That was easy. Replacing plastic door handles with stainless steel? Easy. Installing a new exhaust system? I'll write a check.

 

it is going to be hard to install a torsion key lift kit on an 06 truck though????
Good video, just doesnt apply

You are going to need coil spacers. They install pretty easy, but make sure you are getting the right parts/labor quoted.

 

Is it bad to do this with a body lift or something?

I saw them mention it in the credits at the end, but I planned on adding a body lift down the line if necessary, and maybe even if it's not...

 

Those are keys, he's got coils. Look at his truck, '06!!!

 

Jesus! I hope that quote isn't just for a set of spacers and installation!!!

You can buy a set of 2" coil spacers for about a hundred bucks, a set of two spring compressors that you could use over and over and over for about $20 and do the install in your driveway in about an hour a side!!!

 

I know a lot of Ram owners in DE... check in here first before you go paying a shop next time.

 

I have 3" torsion keys with a body lift and have had no issues.

 

Or just get a loaner coil spring compressor from Advance Auto or some place similar. They charge you for them and then give you the money back when you return the tool. Honestly, any tool you would need you could buy for cheaper than you would pay someone else to do it, save the money, and have the tool when you needed for something else in the future. I did my level with a few wrenches, sockets, pitman arm puller ($17), loaner coil spring compressor and some elbow grease.

Installing a leveling kit isn't much harder than changing shocks or something. I was a little unsure at first but once you do the first side the second is sooo much easier. Looking back now I don't know why I was even concerned about it. That's why so many guys on here are telling you to do it yourself.

RubberFrog, thank you for always making my day a little better.
