Default Suspension lift

Ok from my introduction i have a 2005 ram 5.7 hemi, i want to do a lift on it but want to go budget for right now since i just got it and im nit rollin around in the cash flow. I seen on jegs that there is a 2.5 lift from daystar. Would this be ok to do and if so has anyone else used this product? If so whats your feeb back on it? Pros and cons please. Thanks for taking your time.

Assuming your are 2wd, the cheapest kit other than leveling kits would be the 3" Lift Kit from Rough Country for about $300. If you want more lift you could go with a MaxTrac 4.5" Spindle and either lift blocks or lift shackles for about $600. I chose the latter, in fact I just ordered it today. Good Luck in your searches.

Yeah, the lifts I recommended won't work. I dont know much about 4wd truck suspension, but I have read that the lifts are more expensive. However, their are a few more options. Hopefully someone that knows more will post with more information. Also use the forum search feature, I know that this has been covered many times. Good Luck with the lift.
