recently found a truxx lift for my 09 ram 2wd...just wondering if anyone has any experience with truxx lifts. i am new to the truck world so still getting used to the good brands.

 

Never heard of it before but I just googled it. Doesnt have alot to it but i guess it would since its mainly a leveling kit. I have a lifted 2wd also. It's lifted 10 inches, 7 suspension and 3 body. Im actually in the process of getting a custom 19" lift built that will be done by the end of the month. I will be selling my 7" CST (California Super Trucks) lift if you are interested in going bigger. You can clear 37s with it. They sell for around $1800 with shocks plus shipping. Id let mine go for $1500 shipped.

 

Truxx makes a quality product.... in fact they are the only ones who make a leveling kit for my current truck.

 

thanks but thats a lil high for me right now. i have to park in a parking garage for the next year or so

 

thanks for the info. they look like a good product just trying to be 100%

 

Sounds like its a good product from what he says. Good luck with the lift!

 

the product may be of decent quality...the product itself...but the idea of these leveling kits are terrible. Iv'e personally done two IFS dakotas, and an IFS F-150, and all 3 times these leveling kits were junk. You simply cannot lengthen a strut by displacing it in its mount with a leveling kit spacer, and call it a day. It causes a bunch of issues. When the strut fully extends with the kit in (since it is now sitting a few inches lower in its perch) it causes quite a few problems. Can you live with these problems, sure, but why would you want to create them in the first place? For a few inches of pointless lift?

Firstly..

The upper control arm swung into the struts spring, making the upper ball joint the suspension limiter instead of the shock...on all 3 applications

Second, the inner tie rods were over extended/angled on all 3 applications

Third, Cv joints were beyond there acceptable angles, on all 3 applications

I recommend enjoying your truck, and leaving truxxx leveling kits off your list. Any reputable mechanic that knows suspension systems will tell you that such kits are a terrible idea.
