Too many options and not enough user feedback.

I want a 4" suspension but i am finding 6" kits that are cheaper.

I am planning on 35x12.5 on stock 20's

Brands and prices Ive found. Any opinions?

BDS 4" - $2400

ProComp 6" - $1600 -----> ebay

Superlift 4" - $2300

Skyjacker 4" - $1600

Zone Suspension 4" - $1600

Mopar 4" - $2400

I want quality and driveability. Thanks for any input!

 

Superlift and Mopar 4" are both the same, and I can vouch for that one if you want a 4" lift. It rides as good - if not better than stock.

 

the procomp one you are looking at is probably not including all the stuff you will need ot add on to ride right. you forgot one of the best kits though, BDS. that is the one i have installed on mine and it is awesome. they also have lifetime warranty on their kits.

 

The Rancho kit is very nice and is a simple install. Its a 1 piece cradle unit. http://www.gorancho.com/products/sus...09_ram1500.php

 

The Rancho kit looks awesome.. anyone have any real life info with it?

 

Keeping warranty would be worth the extra cash if it were me. Mopar.

34.5" tires lol

 

I have the Rancho 4" kit for my 3rd Gen, although I'm an '04 and have a torsion bar front end as opposed to the coil overs they went to in '06 and continue to use with the 4th Gens.
I researched the hell out of this kit before I bought it in '05 and basically drove a truck (although not always a Dodge) with about every brand of suspension lift out there. I belong to a hunting club with about 60 members, so I had the virtue of having a host of guys to ask questions and bug to drive their lifted trucks. I had done body lifts and level kits on almost all of the trucks I had owned prior, but had never installed (or even had) a suspension lift.

The thing is bulletproof, in almost 5 years I've never had a single issue and to this day, even with 35" tires, the ride is better than stock both on and off pavement. One of things that impressed me the most when I looked into it was the size difference of the components that you replaced as well as the fact that it comes with basically an entire boxed sub-frame instead of just one or two crossmembers. I felt that was huge for an IFS truck without the luxury of a solid axle to build off of.

I'm not a hard core "off roader", but I have farmland that I do a lot of work on and I hunt and fish spots that most would never even consider trying to get to.

Even though it costs as much or more than many 6" kits, IMO you need to give the Rancho kit a serious look...

 

Real life soon to come. I have it in 2 boxes in the garage. Until aug there is a 500 rebate on the kit with purchase of shocks, so I paid 1400 for it with shocks.
