I just got my truck last week. The PO put Syjackers and the Nitro shocks on it last year. He said it was 1.5 lift front and 2.5 rear. So not exactly long term, but I "think" I like them. I mean, I've never rode in one of these with stock suspension, so nothing to compare it to. It does take the bumps and holes pretty smooth for a big heavy truck, but a little on the bouncy side, I think.

I've been using the Skyjacker 2" front springs for almost 2 years. I wish I had done that swap long ago. Originally, I had installed an add-a-leaf that claimed 1.5-2" of lift. The ride was horrible. I did it to level the front and it was a cheap fix. Just be sure the set that was ordered is the one for DIESELS. I was told it has a different rating from the regular RAM trucks. I don't regret doing the job twice. The ride is much better.

I ordered my set from 4 Wheel Parts Wholesalers here in Hawaii. I'm sure any 4x4 shop can get it in for you or... you could order it online. I don't have the part number handy; can't find the darn receipt because this desk is a mess. One thing though, the urethane bushings were separate. According to the salesman at the shop, only the Skyjacker springs for the gassers come with the bushings; the diesel application does not include the bushings. He had no idea why either.

If you order them from Advanced Auto they are only $320 for the fronts. You won't have to pay shipping either.

I have the 6 inch lift from Skyjacker on mine, and they (the fronts) have sagged more than my grandmother, but with that being said, I'll be ordering another set, because no ones else makes them. Unless I have a custom set made by National or Deaver ore etc.....
