im currently running 3" spindles and a coil spacer up front on my 04 ram 2wd 4.7. well the spacer settled and now the front sags and it pisses me off. id like to try lift coils instead of spacers, hoping theyll settle less but im having no luck finding any for a 1500 after 01.

am i looking in the wrong place? do they exist?

all i can find for the 3rd gen trucks is coils for the 2500s. do they interchange? if they do, im sure theyll be less likely to settle, as they are meant to hold more weight.

im just so sick of nosediving.

im on a gradient in the pic, i sag about 1" in the front. No, i dont wanna use a smaller block. if i have to go with a full drop kit i will, but i just wanna be bigger. and if i can fix the sag with coils, id rather spend $150>$900.


Specs-3" spindles, 3" bl, spacers, 2" block, 35x13.50x20 pro comp xat, 20x10 motto mt700

 

no, 2500 coils will not fit on your 1500. they are bigger. they do make coils for 1500s though. i believe weedaho on here has a set. maybe he will chime in soon.

 

Yeah, i ended up finding the 3" cst coils for $189.


anybody make a bigger coil?


can i run spacer+coils without destroying balljoint and tie rods every two weeks?

 

looks level to me

 

you dont want to go any higher than 3" with either spacers or coils. both do the same exact thing essentially. even 3" is stressing your front end enough as it is. running a 3" coil and a 3" spacer would basically be like running a 6" spacer. not only will it not work, the stock components wont come close to be able to support that kind of stress. not to mention you wouldnt be able to attach your upper control arm to your spindle like that.

 

yup thats correct dirty.
just bite the bullet and get a suspension lift

 

Yeah, thats what i figured.


if it was a true 3" itd be fine. but right now im sagging. i know the coils will too but im just wondering if 3" coils will be > than spacers.

ugh.

and honestly, i dunno how much bigger a full drop kit would be. a CST is jst 4" spindles and 3" coils for $1000 or the rough country thats a 6" with a full drop for $900.

i just want a solid 6" or at LEAST 2" so im level and not raked.

 

welllll, cant you just get a 1" spacer and run the springs till they sag...(or if they do) then swap in the spacer to keep er level? and also if you have a 4.7 the CST springs are a true 3" and if you have a hemi it ends up being a 2" instead because of the heavier motor....
