Default Lifted 2wd Club

Okay well I think its about time to start a lifted 2wd Ram club. Well I guess lifted whatever 2wd club. We have a ton on here, and I swear there is another thread or two every day about lifting a 2wd. Well I figured lets start a thread, list what you have (i.e. lift amount, type, brand, etc) and we could help the new guys out a little more in decisions on lifts and on install, etc.

This isnt for anyone to come say "why lift a 2wd". My truck and alot of 2wd's on here look better than yours. I have a mud truck that is better than yours in the mud. I have a 4wheeler that is a beast. This thing looks good going down the road and hauling stuff, so if im going to drive it im going to mod it.

Just post and we will start getting numbers for it. After we get some members we can start getting more technical.

Where did you order the 3" spindles? The guy that I take my truck to for stuff I can't do said he won't install the AirBagIt ones because he has had bad experiences with them a lot so I'm looking for some others, and I am not having any luck.

had 2in coil spacers,
now have 3in rough country kit

Ethan, you can buy suspension max spindles which are close to doestch brand or cst but they are around $500. I will be installing the spindles this weekend if they come in by then and next week if not. I bought the airbagit ones so we will see

Okay, thanks Matt. If things go well for you with those spindles I may give them a try anyway. I can always find a new mechanic, I know almost all of them in town any way.

Oh, and before I foget.

2008 1500 2wd
Fat Bob's 2" "level"
Hopeful for 3" spindles here soon....

Only my front is lifted. Does that count?

2" FBG leveling spacers. Stock replacement Rancho 5000s that did top out until I was able to add washers equaling about 1" on lower cradle. Now rides just like before.
