Default Help With Lifts!?

I have a SILVER 2003 Dodge 1500 5.7L with a hemi. its a 2wd (yeah they still look sick lifted so dont give me crap)
I want to lift it, i have alot of knowledge about lifts and tires and all that but does anyone know a GOOD price to get it done? or a website?

I want to lift it 6 inches, with 37's and black rockstars.

if anyone could find me a website with a good price let me know.
(Suspension Lift btw)
THANK YOU!!!


I also, want to paint my plastic chrome grille and bumper to match my truck (silver) anyone know that i can paint it? or if i can just buy one, and what website that is on. thank you!

37's on a IFS truck and i assume stock gears will never work out . let alone all the mint you will have and the parts you will break . rule of thumb 35's on a 1500 unless you have beefed up the drive train and suspension componiants . the sky is the limit on a SFA truck

and for the record do your own searches we have no idea what you want to do with a lift and tiers when it comes to a install price . you got a phone book ..look up your local shops and compaire

I've seen countless numbers of 2 wheel drives with 37's. how would it mess up your gears if you have 37 instead of 35's. lol 2 inches. i've seen plenty. and i have searched. ALOT, couldnt really find anything.

thanks for the help though.

google CST suspension, they make a 7" lift for 2wd and they also specialize in 2wd.

if you had searched you would find 95% of the people will tell you 37's on a IFS is asking for trouble

actually it depends on what your doing with the truck, 37" is huge for any truck but if its driven with some care and the guy doesn't jump curbs and act like he has full on suspension then it's fine. But i would get a 17" wheel because a 37's on 20's is way expensive.
