Default is there a 3'' lift ?

i have a 04 1500 4x4 i leveled it out but i want a little more lift . is there a 2 or 3 inch lift that i can put on and stilll get the level look ?
i found this one http://www.adrenalinemotorsportsllc....am15004x4.aspx

but if i put it on will it level the truck ? i am thinking that it will lift from stock so i will still have a rake problem . also if this one will work what kind of shocks do i look for , i know that they will have to be longer due to the lift .

easiest, cheapest 3" would be a body lift, and if ur already level, then you'll stay level.

As said above, you can get 3" spindles to lift the front and a Performance Accessories 3" body lift.

You can spindles on ebay or www.airbagit.com

Go to truckaddons.com, or performanceaccessories.com they have body lifts with gap guards that clean up the look of the wheel wells. As far as the frame underneath the body, I'm unsure of that. I've got a 2.5 inch leveling kit right now and will be putting on a 3 inch body lift in September.

Spindles work my lowering the wheel bearing hub. Using just these will level your truck. If you use spindles and blocks for the rear, you will be lifting the front AND the rear so you will not be level.

if you are already leveled out and only want 3" more of lift, then don't worry about spindles. just get a body lift.

dodge is nice when it comes to a body lift b/c the frames are tucked under the body to begin with so you don't really expose a lot of frame when you do a body lift.

and for the rear gap that you'll have. you can either go with the little plastic gap cover things they sell, OR do what i did, and get some OEM dodge rear wheel wells that take up the entire well. they look great and hide everything
