Called Procomp, lift wont work on TRX4 because of spacer
Called Superlift, additional components needed because of this spacer
Called BDS, Kit will work because they fabbed the prototype kit to fit a TRX4
All 3 have stated a difference, and a previous thread showed there was different heights between 4x4 and TRX4

Yeah I thought that was a spacer at first but further investigation showed its not... I will have to goto the dealer and check out an SLT. I did email Dodge directly and am waiting for a reply, I stressed that accurate information is important.
There is only one company that has advertised a difference between the models and warned publicly about using the spacer kit on a TRX. I meant to call Rough Country today, to get there take and I will be POed if they tell me to take the kit off considering they specifically told me it wouldn't be a problem.

Does anyone have access to a parts manual to see which part or parts are actually different (spacer/strut)? I imagine the part(s) will have the same item number but be listed twice in the description with one specifiying TRX4. Anyways, good investigative work, we are getting close to figuring it out.

I'll bet the TRX trucks have no lift what-so-ever.

This info is straight off the dodge website. I put the models of the trucks in parentheses and that is how they go all the way down the list. As you can see the overall height and ground clearance of all angles are the EXACT same

So they just are keeping the height with rubber on the 17's because like I said before when trying to get in with wheelchair both were the same as far as I could tell. Usually 3 inches would be quite a bit but it made no diff. Makes sense you need more rubber to protect your wheels and your spine when driving off road. I had a 2000 Dakota Quad cab SLT loaded. Anyway that thing was wonderful in the snow, road nice on and off road, the bigger tires were the reason, funny it even handled pretty dam good on the dry road. I switched to a Durango R/T also 4x4...they all were....the handling was great like driving a car,nice a low to get into and was good in the snow to very lets say nimble driving vehicle. I put some nice Falken on it just before I traded it cuz of gas and now I am into a Hemi....went thru a Sebring and a Charger in 6 months, one got totalled theother was taken in early so i would buy the truck. Sorry for rambling
