Just wondering if there was a way to get a little lift on a 97 2wd 1 ton. Here recently I had to haul some equipment to an old arena and the road had some deep ruts along the way.I know I got close to a few bet managed to make it without any probs. If I had a little more clearance then i could have an easier time getting to more places .. TIA

 

Guess no one has any input, Im probably going with a leveling kit and air bag kit with compressor and tank for the back.

 

Right, almost zero options for lifting the frame - I did mine by grafting the 4wd front frame section onto the rear section just under the seats, used the 4wd rear blocks.

Or you could find a 3500 gasser 4wd with a bad engine, switch everything over

 

Bigger tires? No matter how high you get the frame, your rear diff is still the low point. You can run 255/85s without spacers (depending on the rims) from what I understand.

 

Bingo!
not sure about the tire sizes, but no matter how much suspension lift you put on, you get zero additional ground clearance unless you put bigger tires on.

 

Yeah completly understood, my problem was going over the ruts when the tires got in the ruts I know the front was pretty close as well as the rear bumper. What is the best airbag set up. Thank guys.
