need help choosing front end lift
I just perchased a 02 4 door ram 1500 4wd. I want to raise the front end and have no clue where to start. I am aware i will need to realign the front. I have seen spacers, torsion forks, etc. I believe it is stock. I have 33 12.5 r20 grabbers on right now with no rub but it sits with a big rake. I want it leveled so i can fit 35s or keep 33s depending on what it looks like. My question is what to go with and when i do it am i gonna need anything else like new shocks stabalizer etc.

Cranking the torsion bars is the same things as buying the torsion keys- they both twist the bar more to raise the truck- same end results except that the keys can take you higher putting more "strain" on front end components, I did the key- longer front shocks too, But didn't crank the new keys to their 3", mabey 2.5" up- bit easier on components. Keys are cheap to do and really easy, but as B.A. stated: crank the bars first and enjoy.

Personally, 2" is the max I'd go on a "poor man's lift". CVs really don't fare well with much more...

After all the goggling i think i am just gonna do a 4" suspension lift. I dont really want to go that high but all this stuff about ball joints and stuff i dont want future problems with the front end that would need replacing down the road that would cost as much as a suspension lift any way. I guess i will start looking at which lifts will best suit me without having any alterations to driveline etc. If any of u have a suggestion on which route to go i would appreciate. The most off roading i will do is go camping and tow my bike
