Now I am not sure, and others can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't know that you can lift the power wagon yet. If I'm not mistaken the suspension is very different on that rig from the normal trucks, so I don't think you can find any suspension lifts kits just yet. That is not to say, however, that you couldn't take it to a reputable shop and have them figure something out for you. Again, I do not know this for a fact.

Before you do too much mods to your suspension, check these guys out about your Power Wagon. They are professional racing suspension builders.[8D]http://koreperformance.com/power_wagon.htm

Body lifts are not worth the time and expense. You'll have problems with possibly lengthening the wiring, lifting bumpers, etc. The *ONLY* lift worth a darn is a suspension lift IMHO. Here you get to actually use the lift (no high-centering, etc). I just don't care for a body lift. YMMV.

It all depends on what you are going to do w/ it. If you are going to wheel it...go suspension like Superlift. Kore seems to have great products if that fits your budget.

Body lifts aren't all that bad. I wouldn't mess with one on a Power Wagon though, because of the winch bumper.

Have you thought about a coil spacer lift w/ rear add a leaf/block? You'll keep your suspension factory ride.

What size of tires do you want to run?

one thing you might want to research is the "Death Wobble"

this tends to happen on 2/3500's that have been lifted and/or had larger than stock tires on them.

One thing that Kore has done to prevent this is the addition of a spacer block for the front sway bar that brings the front end back into factory orentation, however some still have issues due to running tires with alot of sidewall.


I'm just putting this ittle bug in your ear so you can look this up.

That's cool, but i was thinking about putting larger rims with the tires like 20-22 with nobby tires. friend did it on his 2500 chevy and it looked pretty tough.(even made a feature on the front page of truckin' mag. june of 2004)
