06 Lift Kit RAM 3500

Anyone use a lift kit from top gun customz from ebay,good-bad?How's the quality?Is there a better lift kit with out spending a ton of money?
Thanks for the help.

8" 03-07 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4x4 Long Arm Lift Kit
Item number: 230165920468 This kit runs about 2 grand with shipping.

I'm looking to fit 37-40 tires would love to get the kelderman air lift kit, but about 10 grand stands in my way.

With the right wheel offset, you can run a 37 with 3" of lift.....

Thanks for the reply,but I like the look of the higher lift kits and maybe down the road I could put 22.5 semi wheels on.

Any sugestions anyone?

Ry,

There are a couple of ways you could work it. Rock krawler has an 8 inch kit,
topgun customz has an 8 in kit that they sell now. You could also take any 6 inch kit and add a 2 in spacer with a little bigger of a block in the rear and you are good to go. I am waiting for rize to come out with their 8 in kit. Just keep looking eventually the manufactures will realize that we are out here and ready to buy!!!! My .02.

I went with the 6" lift from top gun with the rock krawler upgrade long arm and track bar, top gun dual shock mounts. I really like it and it rides about the same as factory. The only thing is once you go with the long arm conversion there is no going back to factory. I also put an additional steering stabilizer. This is the site i got it from. http://www.solidsteel.ca/Products.htm. I think you'll be happy with it.

Please check out KORE or Carli Suspension. These 2 are the only suspension systems I would install on a Dodge Ram. If you have the choice of such high quality components why not do it right the first time?

You can take the same lift I've got and add the two in spacers up front and two inch add-a-leaf in back.

Thanks for the help.

Their stuff doesn't give me that warm fuzzy feeling. But I don't have first hand experience with them.

Topgun makes a 6" and 8" that you can upgrade with Rock Krawler. http://www.topguncustomz.com/Store/products.php?S_ID=51

I've got installed on my truck and works and rides well. No problems so far.

Yeah, I am not willing to pay 3k just for 3in of lift, but they do make a very functionable lift. I would hate to see what a 6 inch kit would go for
