Hey guys, I've been brousing though this forum and few others for a while and have been doing alot of reading about what people are doing for a lift. 2" leveling kit, w/wo rear spacers, 4" & 6" lifts etc.. For a Dodge, what is the best 4" & 6" lift? Do they make a lift for the Dodge to where the truck can be put back stock? Which lift is the easiest to install? I want the best lift for the money with that being said money is not much of a issue but I don't have to have the asbolute best name I just want a good quailty lift to run 35" to 37" on AFTERMARKET wheels.

I'm still not sure whether I'm buying a new Dodge or a new Duramax. I'm real familiar with Duramax lifts and etc. just not the Dodges. Any info. will be appreciated.

Thanks

 

I have the superlift and it works pretty well and is able to be put completely back to stock.

 

I have Skyjacker kit with new springs all the way around. No blocks. Can be put back to stock with original parts.

 

Guys throw some prices out there for what you have.

 

I have a Tough Country lift with Donahoe Racing shocks it cost me 1600 installed the right way. I talking everything welded. Now I usually will never admit I have a tough country lift but in opinion is It works great, anything after that you are goin for looks. If you go 6'' though you probably need a long arm kit. My lift is 4'' now I have added some traction bars and airride. My truck rides really good.

 

I have a 6" lift and love it. The ride is no different than stock and I am running 20" wheels with 37" toyo mt's.

 

Mine was $1300 with the bilstiens

 

I love your truck. Thats exactly what I want. What kind of lift do you have and what did it cost you? What kind of gas mileage do you get now?

Thanks

 

I have the BDS suspension lift. Make sure you check the steering box for possible leakage and the tie rod ends. After installing I found that the box was leaking and now DC will not warr. it. I am in the process of taking it all off and then taking to the dealership. I paid 5K for the whole set-up wheels and the tires as well all installed. Just my op. Jamie

 

Sorry to hi-jack the thread, but lift kits that use AAL's for lifting the rear, how well do the hold up? 1/2 tons they seem to do alright, but on 3/4 and 1 tons that haul, do they start sagging after a short period? One little leaf pushing up on the rest of the leaf pack and holding up the whole rear end of the truck worries me a little. Seems like it would start sagging after little use IMO, anyone have any input?

 

The whole lift, tires and rims cost $4000. It was done at Les Schwab. The lift is a superlift. I don't have any complains about it at all. Some people bash the cheaper lifts but I haven't noticed anything wrong. I will probably upgrade to some higher end shocks later this year.

I honestly haven't been able to check the miledge. I purchase fuel once a month because I have a 500 gallon tank at my house. But I did check it just before I got the tank and I was any where between 15-17 and when I tow my trailer I get a constant 12.

bump, anyone else have thoughts or opinions on brands of lift? Best bang for the buck??

Thanks

 

Depends on what you plan on doing with the truck, and realistically what you'll spend.
