lookin for some height in 2003 ram 1500 quad cab 5.7..

dont really wanna spend the money for a lift kit as i race motocross and all my money goes into that, i was thinkin just a leveling kit but it doesnt do that much to be worth it.

any ideas? thanks

 

if it is a 4x4 then go under and crank the torsion bars to level it which is free and buy some longer shocks. I know that pro comp mx6 shocks for a old toyota pickup with a 4" lift are the perfect length becuase I have them.

 

If u crank ur T bars it is going to give you a terrible ride leveling kits are only about $100 to $200 depends on the brand u buy and a 3 inch body's about $300

 

We need more info on the truck drivetrain and what exactly you are wanting.

A level is less than 100 and provides 2ish of lift if its a 2wd and cranking the Torsion Bars is free for about 2in. You cant ask for cheaper lift? The next is a 3in body lift for 350, but it will still have the rake

after that, the next 6in is over a grand if you are 4x4. Spindles are an option on 2wds for 3-4in in the front

 

i have a 03 1500 4x4 quad cab.

i might just try and crank the t bars and see how it rides

can you guys provide some info on how to do it? where are they located and what tools will i need?

 

I don't know where this got started about cranking the existing key bolts being harsher than a set of leveling keys. They both achieve height by exerting pressure on the torsion bars. Cranking increases the angle of the stock keys, leveling keys are indexed to a higher angle. Same result on the torsion bars and it's the stiffening of the torsion bars that firms up the front end...

 

I've just heard that from diff people and some people say there tires wear funny too just saying

 

Tires will wear funny because any lift to the suspension throws off the camber of the tires. The fix for this is getting an alignment after doing the lift/level, again regardless of whether you crank the existing keys or getting leveling keys...

 

So when u crank the bars do u need a alinement

 

anywayy.. can someone tell me how to do it? tools and where they are located?
