Thanks guys, you dont have to remove all the stuff listed in the instructions as stated. I didnt touch the radiator at all. the brakes lines you just take the bolts out of the mount so it doesnt bend the lines when you lift the body.

the front frame horns that the bumper mounts to factory has to be cut off.

heres my video on the front bumper stuff. all my other vids on on youtube also.

as for the 02-05 guys. I do know the spare tire thing is differant, (we finished that up on the 03 last night) but most things are the same. the front bumper does mount differently though also.

I have heard opposing things from Zone about a kit for the pre-06 rams. Ive heard they are working on one due to popular demand and that they are not. im not positive if they are or not but I would go to there website and do the live chat thing and ask Dave. he will know.


the steering extension is easy to go on. on youtube its my first video i made. its pretty simple.

I wish they made a mild bl, like a 2 inch instead of a 3... then I would combine that with a 5 or 6 inch suspension to make 7 or 8 inches, but I dont want the frame to be too visible so I just wanted 2 of that to be body lift... you know, make it look natural still but still get the little bit of added height out of it.

you cant really tell it has a bodylift. A stock chevy or furd still has more frame showing than a BL on a 3rd gen ram.

not tryin to rip on ya, but cutting an inch off the frame is NOT a 100% bolt on kit... damn, no going back to stock after that...

I did send Zone an email about the 2WD kits. Their response was that their competitors list the same part #s for the 2wd and 4wd kits, so they assume that it will work with both. After reading the instructions, I would have to agree. They just have not done a 2wd to be sure.

As far the 2wd vs the 4wd they should be the exact same.

I know the spare tire winch mounts differently on the 03's as to the 06's. theres some other small changes too the only real big one is the way the front bumper mounts.

I meant its a bolt on kit as in you dont have to weld anything. anyone that has a cutting and drilling tools can install this in there driveway.

Id still much rather cut some of the frame off and but on a much stronger bracket than hack up the front bumper supports and then get hit or hit something with the front end and then the bumper have nothing to help support if from the impact reaching the engine and other vital components faster.
