I have a 2003 dodge ram 1500.
4" Rough country suspension
3" body
38" Dick cepek crushers
20" XD Monsters

I think I was one of the few awhile back that had 38's, not sure now.

I'm getting to the point where the tilt on my truck is bothering the hell out of me.
I had my torsion bars cranked up because I had 3 1/2" blocks put on in the back so I had to put up an extra inch that I could on my keys.
What can I replace in the front to be able to get the 2 extra inches I need in suspension to take my keys off for less stress?
If there is a possible way thats not going to require me getting a new 6" lift I'm going to do it, as long as its not going to cost close to a new lift.

 

so you are looking to remove some of the stress from your torsion bars? you arent going to hurt the t-bars, from what i've heard they are tough as hell. they can break but i havent heard of it on these trucks. NOW, if you crank them in too far your cv's are going to be at a wicked angle and that truck is going to eat cv's especially with 38's!
so i guess i dont really understand what you're asking. as far as i know the only way to raise the front end without adding a bigger lift is by cranking the t-bars.

oh yes, and i want to see some pics of this beast...

 

If you still have stock keys you can get 2" leveling keys. Can be used in combination with a suspension lift, but as stated, will increase the angle of your CVs, gonna have to monitor that...

 

No, I understand the tbars, and yes they are tough been riding on it for awhile like that...
What im asking is what would I have to replace in the front IFS Lift part to get lift rather than torsion bars?
Basically what im asking is what parts do I need to get to trade out on my front end to get the 6" lift without keys, right now I have the 4" lift with cranked keys.

And I'll get pics back on here in a minute.

 

Older pics, about 2 months old. And wasnt that clean at the time.

 

just copy the lift you have now but make it bigger... lol

so i suppose you could drop the front diff, torsion bars, etc... but i've never seen it done

nice lookin truck BTW

 

what you need is the drop brackets for the differental and new knuckles that are longer and lower control arms not sure but unless rough country has a larger lift available you will probably have to buy a whole new lift kit i personaly like fabtechs because it doesnt require welding or cutting of the frame. and if you can afford it get the rearched springs they are much better than lift blocks
and i love the look of your truck very nice

 

my dad just got a grey f350 with black wheels, im diggin the grey on black now

 

I just need to know everything I need to replace in the front to get my 6" of suspension lift without the keys or buying a new lift. I have to know exactly what to replace by next week because my truck will be out by then, and if i get the parts now I will get a discount with all the work lol, so might as well.


Yea I plan on changing alot of stuff too it, changing out the blocks with add-a-leafs, sure its stiffer but I need a stiffer ride in the back. New exhaust(new pipes also, their rusted). But I'll try some of those things and ask my shop if they could do it, I just would rather have the lift other from keys that way my wheel wells will cover up my engine in the front, the keys are exposing the engine with how much I have it cranked. Thats mostly the reason because I do go mud, and nothin has yet to go wrong.
But, I did go mudding the other day, and my dumb self forgot how cold the water gets in this weather in georgia, and blew my motor to pieces, getting it replaced with a 41,000 mile motor as we speak, so might as well replace other things while im at it. Engine replaced, and transmission replaced.

 

Bump.
