CTC Suspension is working on a 3.5" spindle for the 2500. I spoke with them yesterday - you can check the link above for the details.

But the 1500 spindle and the 2500 spindle are different and I suspect it is due to the hub and bearing size of the 2500.

 

Fire Rescue,

Can you take a picture of the front suspension setup for me? I haven't looked at the 2wd setup before. With a picture I may be able to help with ideas.

 

tell me what all i need to snap shots of and i will do as soon as i get can. i was thinking about having some one fab something up for me but not sure how they would go about doing that. i might be able to get the pics in a few mins. thanks,

 

Get shots of the upper and lower control arms, coil springs and bucket, shocks and mounts, sway bar links, spindle, and a nice overall of each corner (front only).

Depending on what you create and cost, I would be interested in a lift as well. I have a 1.5" Daystar spacer coming but would like more....

 

Well, I won't be creating anything myself, but I can definately toss some ideas around and maybe help get you 2wd guys on the right foot.

 

Hope this is what you need, if not let me know if i need to take more.

 

Hmm, is the upper arm really at that much of an angle relative to the lower arm, or is that just an optical illusion? And I can't see a droop stop anywhere to limit droop. Is there a stop somewhere on top there?

Anyway, the best way to accomplish a lift would be with a spindle. You can do it with a spacer or new coil but 1) you'll lose down travel (droop) and 2) may run into alignment issues depending on how much adjustment there is. Actually, looking at the upper arm I don't think any of this will be a real issue.

What you need is someone willing to be a guinea pig and try some custom springs or tear apart the front end and see if a spacer will fit up there. Then try to align it. But it looks like it can be done.

So does anyone make a 6" lift for the 2wd? If they do it most like incorporates a lift spindle, and that may be something that can be bolted up without all the drop brackets to give just a 3"-4" lift. I'll do some diggin' and see if I can find anything.....

 

Coming soon from CST.....



It doesn't say if this is a spindle only or part of a bracket lift. But if its spindle only this is the ticket.

 

After about the third word you lost me i don't know anything about that kind of stuff.

 

Thanks, i think this is what we have all been looking for. it said early June so it should be out very soon. anyways have you been able to find a price or how big of a lift it is. i am only looking about maybe about 4" front and the like a 1 or 2" rear to make it more level and get it off the ground. keep up updated on the new part. Thanks,

 

Most spindles are 3" or 4" lift. When these come out, bolt up a set and add better shocks all around. You could go all out and order custom coils and leaf springs and have a great riding truck.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open and post if I come across any new information.
