Default 2wd Lift or Leveling Kit

I have 2006 Ram 1500 4.7 v8 2wd and looking for a lift or leveling kit? I would like to put the truck on 33's or bigger and have found different kits but not sure what is the better kit. And don't want to get to crazy on price

1. 02-08 DODGE RAM 1500 2WD 2" Lift Springs Kit (What size tires could run? doesn't say)

2. 05-08 Dodge Ram 1500 4" Lift Spindles

3. 2WD Suspension Lift by Pro Comp- 2006-08

4.2WD Suspension Lift by Fabtech- 2006 Dodge

5.6" Lift 06-08 Dodge Ram 1500 trailmaster

And any others


Thank You
Chris

Welcome to the site. I think you need to spend some time doing a little searching as there is tons of info out there cuz that's alot of questions just for possibilities.

Check out the Faq section and THIS link for lift kits and This link for tire info.

Fo sho, I would do a 2 inch level and 3 inch body lift like Matt is running above me.

I wouldn't drop the coin on the expensive lifts if I had an 06 and up. 05 down have cheap rough country.

Its not easy, but doable. I have 35/12.5 r20s on mine.

best body lift for you is the Zone kit. Liftkits4less on ebay has em and I offered $320 and they accepted

Okay just saw that this thread was authored by you. The info in the PM will be right, but if you are looking to do a body lift i would hold off on tires, throw the body lift on, and then buy some 35s. 33s look kinda goofy with a body lift

you specifically asked about the 2in level, and if that is all you are doing then just go ahead with the tires you PMd me about.
