Default Dually lift kit

I just got a new truck and im looking for a lift kit, im planning on going about 4-8 inches.

Heres my truck:
  • 2003 Ram 3500 DRW hemi
  • 2" leveling kit


Ive been looking for a lift kit but it seems like noone makes them for my specific truck,almost every single company i find either it doesnt fit dually or it doesnt fit gas engines or it only fits mega cabs,i need some suggestions on a good dually lift kit. Skyjacker seems like they are the only ones who make a kit that will fit but about $2000 for a 5" is kinda out of my price range im looking for something below $1500.Id like to put between 37's and 42's on it so any suggestions on what tire to run and how much lift i'll need also would be a great help.

thanks

Your going to love getting 8 miles a gallon with those kind of tires, not to mention it will be a dog on the hills.

You're not going to find anything under $1500 that will let you fit tires that size..

Yea seriously. A Hemi and a DRW? And you want 4-8 inch of lift? Start putting away about 300+ a month for gas lol

After owning a Mega Cab there is no way I could own a crew cab, only trolls and munchkins can fit it those back seats. Plus the crappy front ends that are in the 1500's, IFS makes me sick just thinking about it.
