Default Questions on a lift

ok so i been thinking...so everyone knows how you can do the 3in suspension lift on the 2wd if you get the bigger knuckles....now my questions is if i want to do a 3in lift as well...would the same knuckles fit on a 4wd...im sure there if a way to do a 3in suspension lift with out having to do the leveling kit or BL...anyone please chime in...this is somthing i was thinking about for the past few days

I think not, you would have to look at see if the hole in the knuckle is the right size for your CV shaft to to fit thru, also if it would have the machined hole for the 4wd/abs speed sensor sensor.

But ill politely disagree (although im not sure). The spindles would be the same. They should have the holes in them for the CVs splines to fit through and into the wheel hub assemblies. I know mine do

There are also different parts numbers on other parts for 2WD and 4x4s that are exactly the same...

this is some good info guys...though i thought this would be a good question to ask...08Hemi...i dont have alot of funds for the 4" lift kit....i thats why i was thinking about the spindles so i can peice it out and it would be cheaper...because if the spindles have th same exact bolt up pattern..then for sure you can put a 3" suspension lift on a 4wd...i honestly think that the knucles are the same....im kind of thinking of goin to the ole local pick n pull soon

hey guys check this out...https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...e-install.html ...i looked at the pics of the spindle and it looks exactly like the 4wd one...and if you look at the back of the hub in one of the pics...you can see the splines where a cv axle would go in...i do think this would work for us 4wd guys
