Looking for a lift for my 2002 Ram 1500 4x4 5.9L V8.

Anyone have any experience with this lift? What caught my attention with them is the high clearance because of not dropping the torsion bars and the lifetime warranty, but is the price worth it? I think base price is $2400 for 6-inch lift.

Any thoughts on this lift is appreciated.

 

i had Big Dick Suspension on my old f150, thats the only experience i have had with it and it was a 6in lift, they are very reliable and a very sturdy lift at that... cause i asked for the best setup and everyone referred to them, and it held up through and i took that truck through hell and back about 3 times, jumps, offroad, rough trails, etc its good i think they are the only ones ill buy.. but thats me

 

Its the same one I am going to buy this summer, I am going to spend more than the 2400, I want the ladder bars and I also want the upgraded shocks and the leafs for the rear instead of the blocks.

 

Whats the ladder bars?

 

They keep your axle from moving under high torque, alot of times if you have a lift on a truck that has a lot of torque and you hammer the gas in it it will spin the axle which is really hard on everything, and since I am working on building up the power in my truck as well as lifting it I want to protect it as well.

 

AF describes it well in this thread.

Thanks for the responses, I'm going to go with this lift as well this summer and those ladder bars are a good investment as well. Since I want to build up my 360 magnum next for some more torque to run the bigger tires strong.

Do ya'll think 4:56 gears is a little over kill for 37 - 38's

 

98cherryman,

why do they recommend the steering stabilizer?

 

I think that 37s or 38s are over kill for a 1500. Personally I wouldnt go over 35's

 

I'm just trying to achieve good ground clearance with being street legal and road worthy, and the reason I bought my truck as a short bed / regular cab for the shorter wheelbase because i like to go deep on the trail. With putting these bigger tires on it, I have been researching into beefing up the cv shafts and joints, because I heard IFS can be really weak when abuse is applied to them. I figure class 1 buggies are running IFS but in the rear and there pushing around 1000hp and getting air at high speeds; so why can't I beef up my IFS to handle 4x4 terrain with high torque. I do understand their vehicles cost about million dollars, but for just what I want to achieve I think it can be done affordable, "ingenuity".
