So I have had the truck for 7 months now and I already have the mind set that the 3" body lift isn't high enough haha. Ive seen some lift kits online but im not sure what to do. i want to upgrade to 35's or 37's. personally to me it looks like the front is lower than the back. what kind of combination lift should i do to make it all equal? What other front suspension parts will probably be more stressed from the lift and wear out pre maturely, so I can just do it right and replace them all at once. Thanks alot I am anxious to hear some responses!

no one has any advice for me?

Lift combo you should measure from the center of the wheel to the fender the difference will tell you what you need to level
With a 4" lift and 3" body you could fit 37s
You really shouldn't have any parts wear out per maturely if you get a lift kit and have it aligned

 

[cmagrey12788]

cool. does anyone have pics of a 4" suspension lift with 3" body lift with 35's or 37's? id love to see what it looks like. i want my truck to look more beastly

Have you decided what to do? I did a 2.5 front level kit but now I might do a lift.

no i havnt decided yet. im working on my roll pan and stereo right now, then ill figure out some lift and a wheel and tire package over the summer. ive heard some negative things about coil spacers so im not sure.. any knowledge about them?

I have a set of 4 in spindles and 2.5 in blocks for the rear for sale. the spindles are From Doetsch and fit 2002 to 2008 ram 1500 2wd...sent you a pm

Just bought a Hell Bent Steel 2.5" Leveling Kit for my ram... hopefully it'll work out nice for me! I paid $75 Free shipping.

I have a 2007 dodge ram 1500 as well. I have the RCX 4" suspension lift with Bilstein 5100's all around equaling to about 5" lift. Heres a picture of what she looks like sitting on 35 toyo m/t's:

cmagrey- how is your leveling kit treating you? i bought one several weeks ago but just havent gotten around to getting it on. im still afraid of the "death wobble". you had any?

im in the same boat.. i havnt gotten around to installing mine either there sitting on my kitchen table. soon though..
and hey i like the look of that truck, i want to get the pocket flares too.. and the shocks that you run give you lift? how do they ride versus stock shocks?

DAMN YOU! your truck is EXACTLY what I want to do with my truck, Im planning on 4 inch lift with the fuel revolver wheels (20x10) with 35s.....and my truck is silver. Well at least I know exactly what my truck will look like now hhaha

 

[SnoylCC5]

yea, i heard that they are a pain to install. ill let you know if mine rides ok if i get mine on before you. keep me posted on yours bc i want to run 35's or 37's too

I have also been looking into this as I'd like to level my truck out for now, then do a suspension lift later on down the road. I contacted my local offroad shop and they said 35's will clear no problem with a leveling kit and I can go up to a 12.5" tire. I checked out the product they use (forget who the company is off hand), and they said you may have to install high angle cv shafts as well as the stock ones might bind with the leveling kit installed. Just gotta put in some more OT and I'll likely do it, perhaps a Christmas present for myself!

 

[cmagrey12788]

thats cool. i really want bigger tires. im probably going to just keep the stock rims for now and just get bigger tires before this winter. do u think its smart to get a programmer before i get the bigger tires.

 

[SnoylCC5]

i would definitely get a programmer before or atleast when you do get the tires. that way you can adjust your speedometer for tire size and also change your tune for better mpg's or power

 

[cmagrey12788]

good to know. i will deffinetley do that. i will probably get the programmer first. i hope too have leveling kit, programmer, and new tires all done before the first of the year. how bad does it affect the mpg's even if you are using a programmer?? not looking forward to that haha

 

[SnoylCC5]

i heard unless you go with a MASSIVE lift that it doesn't effect it that bad (now i also don't have a lift so i don't know for sure) but that's what i heard. and if you are using a programmer, the addition of the programmer plus the lift should average out (i would imagine) to around what you're getting now. but I'm hoping that i can get my leveling kit on within two weeks and have a programmer here by November, tires will probably have to wait until tax time.

 

[cmagrey12788]

thats good to hear..i was always nervous about that. cuz the truck already goes thru alot of gas. i am going to get a bike next year tho i just got my bike license so that i can save on gas when its nice out an keep the miles off the ram too. i may get a programmer soon.

 

[cmagrey12788]

so i found this thread.... http://www.ramforumz.com/showthread.php?t=103648

this guy says with a 3" body lift and leveling kit, he is running 37" 12.5" 20" nitto trail grapplers. thats the same lift combo i have so does that mean it will work on mine?? his is a 2008 and mine is a 2007... can someone chime in and help me out here cuz if i can deffinetly run 37's i will! it looks badass!
